Minus Tide Wines
The Eyrie Vineyards
Melon de Bourgogne 2011
Wow, real knockout stuff. This is not domestic Muscadet - there's not much in common besides the grape. It has the bright, pure fruit but it is put together in a much fuller style, more like a white Burgundy (minus the oak) than Muscadet. I don't say Chablis because while it's an intensely mineral wine and cranked up to 11 in that department, it's not a marine minerality. The mineral element here is volcanic (and so is the soil), bringing to mind all those cliches about aromas bursting from the glass and so forth, and it's every bit as driving on the palate. — 10 years ago

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2000
Aromas of marzipan, figs and tawny port. Very port-like flavors minus one the sweetness. — 11 years ago
Mendocino Wine Company
Zig Zag Zin Mendocino County Zinfandel 2012
Very solid! Almost soft grapey cab minus the tannins. No complex spicy second note, but great finish. Had this at a restaurant, not sure on the bottle price, but big fan. — 10 years ago

La Meirana Gavi di Gavi Cortese 2013
Tangerine and mandarin oranges with some light minerality and some nice soft, creamy edges. Medium-minus complexity, but what's there has great texture and acidity. — 10 years ago

2009 vintage. Medium gold - radiant. Ripe stone fruits, creamy, spicey, biscuit notes - medium plus intensity. Full bodied, medium minus acidity, oily texture, medium plus alcohol and long finish with a bitter almond finish. Very balanced and appealing - classy. Very good. — 11 years ago

Delicious wine. Benefits greatly from decanting. Firm pleasurable tannins. This wine is a keeper and in 3-4 years will be amazing. Rating the wine where it is now. Will buy more bottles to lay down.👍🏼 — 10 years ago
