Very pleasant, soft tannins nice fruit. — 2 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend

Agree with those who describe the finesse in this reserve. Long open but worth the wait every time. apparently higher in sangiovese than other vintages and it works just fine. Really nice Antinori offering! — 5 years ago

Nice Cabernet. Not expensive. Light tannins clear after opening — 9 years ago

Jordan Vineyard & Winery

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2004

Old school. Has some of that over extracted warmth but nothing compared to the Napa Valley juice from the same year. Nice leather tones. Good stuff. Will only get better with age. On the upward slope. — 9 years ago

Apothic

Winemaker's Blend California Zinfandel Blend 2013

I love this wine. For some reason it is very easy on my digestive system unlike many others. It has a nice price point as well. — 11 years ago

Pine Ridge Vineyards

Clarksburg Chenin Blanc + Viognier Blend 2022

Paired nicely with tuna steak. Nice and refreshing to drink in Florida while the sun is still out. Bottle description: white blend marries the crisp, honeyed citrus fruit of chenin blanc(80%) with the soft floral and juicy peach notes of viogner (20%). Interesting white. — 3 years ago

Belle Glos

Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

Ming L
8.9

The Clark & Telephone Vineyard PN gave me a long lasting impression, and this Las Alturas is very similar in style in its richness and intensity.

Ripe plum, blackberry jam, eucalyptus, fig, black tea, and Chinese medicinal herbs bursting on the nose. Palate has more texture and a more elegant feel with dark chocolate and spice. Firm and a bit dusty tannins. This tastes more like a blend of Zinfandel and Cab. Nice! But again this is not the type of PN I like.
