No Name Road

Castello di Tassarolo

Titouan Barbera 2014

Named after the horse that plows the field, "Titouan" is organic and no sulfur. On the nose, cocoa, spice, Bing cherry with great acid and super juicy and too many fruits to name! Tortona is where we are! Medium body and fills out over time. — 10 years ago

Queen's Road White Walla Walla Valley Viognier Marsanne 2014

No shit sold out. We spit 300+ wines. This was not one of them and represents some of the best whites in the new world. Orange honey marmalade but honestly name it and it's in there. I love this wine. — 11 years ago

Domaine Guiberteau

Saumur Chenin Blanc 2014

Like no Chenin Blanc I have ever tasted this is searing in its mineral intensity. Definitely not for the faint of heart. It think Pineau de Loire is an apt name cause I picked up a pine pitch flavor. Would be amazing with anything in a shell. But maybe also as a foil to rich pork or something really creamy. Check it out folks. — 11 years ago

Pillow Rd. Vineyard

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2013

OK c'mon..who doesn't love a good name to start out with? After drinking this very good Cali style Pinot I'd move to Pillow Road for more than just the cool name. Sometimes the California Pinot style is too big for me and overwhelms in a more Cab way than a traditional Burgundian/funky earth tone/vegetable way. This one is between the styles and not too dense (my usual complaint) and has great cherry and light leather without the Big Fruit that tends to get in the way of complexity. So bottom line; big but not to big and enough Euro notes to satisfy the taste for Willamette style. — 11 years ago

Slingshot

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Alright guys. Not expensive. No known name. This proves to me what you spend is not whether a wine is good. Delicious. Rich dark berries. Some vanilla. Buy it. Enjoy. The ratings are based on snob appeal. Take a blind taste test. Then we'll talk. Shalom. — 10 years ago

Fleurie Gamay 2009

2009. Pessac Leognan style...wow, this does not smell like Gamay! Petrol, smoke, cab-like notes of black current, smoke, graphite. This is awesome!! Over 50 year old vines. Very low yields of 18hl/hectare. Whole cluster but no carbonic maceration. Stainless and neutral barrel aging. Fabien Duperray, a name to watch out for! — 11 years ago

Unconventionally beautiful or as the French say pretty-ugly, this was a breath of fresh air to my palate. Neutral oak, no malo, the complexity and breadth of flavor and aroma all coming from the care taken in the winery to coax the maximum impact from the fruit. — 11 years ago

Bodega del Abad

Bierzo Godello 2012

Love this stuff...fresh burst of acidity with the. Aromatics of pear, peach and honey.... Graham crackers... No I haven't gone crackers . This Godello is growing at 600 to 650 meters on really steep slopes, eastern side. Rocky quartz soils with loads of red clay a spectacular place that takes quite a while to get to by way of a windy steep narrow road. It really makes you appreciate it — 13 years ago

Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2014

Finally got over my aversion toward the name "Whispering Angel" and tried this rosé. It's pretty good! Nice pale salmon color, light and crisp fruity taste--delicate and not overpowering. No sticky mouthfeel like some other rosés. Great for a hot summer day. — 11 years ago
