Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

I have only the cat emoji with the hearts for eyes coating my tongue. My soul can relate to cherries, cola, roses, oak and those three hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil monkey emojis.

Needs to air after first opening bottle but then reveals plush dark fruits, nice body and acid, has Burgundian overtones to me but at same time taste like modern Sonoma Pinot. — 11 years ago

Mother of Invention Lovett Vineyard Viognier-Rousanne 2015

Phenominal. Can't say enough good about this white. The ONLY reason I don't give it a ten is because the Orange from Kivel Stadt is just a tad better! — 10 years ago

Kungfu Girl Washington State Riesling 2013

I get green papaya or green pineapple on the nose. Lychee too. Dryer on the tongue than on the nose, I was surprised - pleasantly! Very easy to drink. I will buy this again. It'll stand alone or be good w/ food. Most white drinkers in a crowd would like this. — 11 years ago
