Enfield Wine Co.

Heron Lake Vineyard Chardonnay

It's nice to get a wine with some skin contact without going over board. This wine is a perfect example. Grip and "orangeness" bit still a lot of Chardonnay. Drink it at room temperature. The cold covers up the chard. — 10 years ago

Champagne's always nice. It's a little earthy though. Might have been too warm but still not perfect. — 11 years ago

Clos du Val Wine Co.

Carneros Chardonnay 2013

Beautiful pale gold in the glass with thin edges. Pineapples, pears, honey crisp apples, and vanilla on the nose. The aromas don’t try to overpower you with, instead they subtly seduce you. Plush mouthfeel and incredible balance. This is not a stereotypical buttery Chard, nor is it overoaked. There’s oak to be had here but just about the right amount. On the palate, the citrus qualities come to life more but not in an overbearing manner. Lemon, more pears, and melon on the forefront with butterscotch and apple pie on the backend. A little unexpected spice note on the finish takes this baby home. Classic but not austere, a bit of elegance without the pomp. Very nice stuff. — 8 years ago

Union Wine Co.

Underwood Oregon Pinot Noir

Gas discharge on opening, first sip from can light bodied & kinda fruity (hard to taste). In glass, beautiful red violet in color, nice clean raspberry on nose & pallet. Soft & fruity, no metallic taste, easy going casual Pinot. Bravo Union Wine Co. ! Giving you max rating for making wine more approachable to non wine drinking demographic & casual wine consumer. — 11 years ago

Do you think this would benefit from aging, or should it be drunk young?

Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Much better on the second day (i.e. Let this breath or decant). Strong berries and some fragrant wood on the nose. Great complexity with astringent berry flavors mingled with cedar and black pepper spice on the long finish. A nice Cab for an excellent steak. Yummy, I want more of this great value Lake County Cabernet. — 9 years ago
