Mind Bomb

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2001

Beautiful, clean wine. Not a brett bomb like I often fear with Dominus. Straight down the middle and quite lovely. — 6 years ago

Mind boggling. Wine life changing stuff.... pomegranate and grapefruit skin on the nose with tar pepper and blackberries. The palate was super and the finish lasts forever. I can still taste it. Holy s**t — 8 years ago

Phenomenal way to not only watch the ‘Stros lay on the heat to the Yankees, but also to usher in a 9 day Vacation! The Four Seasons always delivers top tier wining & dining. I certainly wouldn’t mind staying here throughout all four seasons... — 8 years ago

Just a juicy bomb that's easy to drink with a hint of spice at the finish. — 9 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Wow. More flavor, much better than their regular cab. Silky, velvet, smooth. Chocolate. Rich fruit. Big, full flavor, lots of flavor. Not old world style for sure, not subtle. It's a big bomb. We would pay up to $75 for this so a bit overpriced to us.

Just tasted this blind in Somm class. I really enjoyed it and was somewhat surprised by that fact. Not as much of a fruit bomb as I would have expected. Selling Cali wines all day has jaded this East Coast kid. — 7 years ago

The Offering Syrah Blend

Big central coast GSM & V. Blackberry alcohol/fruit bomb. Not a lot of tannins but delicious after a long drive to Santa Barbara wine country. — 8 years ago

It may well not be their best vintage to date, but it's impossible not to resist its pure candied peach fruit and gentle spice flavors. Long and rewarding it offers lively acidity and lovely drinkability. Seductive comes to mind. The second bottle of this vintage in less than two months. Thanks Brorsan. — 10 years ago

Chappellet

Mountain Cuvée Proprietor's Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

This wine really wowed me. Enjoyed at my favorite wine restaurant Bella Monte. This is a beautiful fruit bomb that offers fruit, balance, structure, finish. This one should age beautifully and become more elegant with time. Plan to revisit very soon. Well crafted. — 6 years ago

My inner Italian was drawn to the Tanic earthy quality of this 2013. Got better with more air. Once again @Bret Barker puts me into another awesome wine. 😎

Dirty Pure Project

The F Bomb Santa Barbara County Grenache Blend 2012

A nice light bodied, easy drinking red blend, low acidity, peppery at first with a long finish of blackberry jam. — 9 years ago

Mollydooker Wines

Carnival of Love McLaren Vale Shiraz 2006

Was apprehensive at first as last time I had this (a year ago with Big Wave Dave) it was the cliche Oz Shiraz fruit bomb with high alcohol bordering on over extraction. On the second outing a lot more complex. Still classic cassis fruit and choc/tobacco overtones but not over the top and with some nice acidity still. Less spice than typical. Nice underlying tannin backbone. Lovely mouthfeel and medium body and finish. A little time has done its work nicely. — 10 years ago
