This wine was pretty lovely. Not too pricey - great for a good Cab for dinner. Went well with red fish. Good ol' Beckstoffer family. — 9 years ago

Tiny production Ramisco (7,000 bottles) from own-rooted centurion vines on sand dunes outside Lisboa. Aged 3 years in hundred year-old Brazilian oak foudre - wha???

Beautiful wine, tart cherry, dried herbs, a little of that ol' saddle leather too. Moroccan lamb fits the bill rather well. — 10 years ago

I am a little biased because this is family but this Zin is just plain ol yummy. Very rich with some spice. It doesn't beat you over the head with jamminess or the higher alc%; very well balanced. — 12 years ago

Couldn’t hold my fingers of my last bottle of Eben Sadie’s old vine series 2015 vintage. This time the Treinspoor; an old vine Tinta barocca. It takes a good three hours in the decanter to really present it self, but when it does, oh what an entrance. So complex, yet so transparent. The trademark Sadie earthyness is teasing in the background while the red and black berry fruit with a good ‘ol portion of floral notes is having its fun time in the foreground. In it’s infancy at the moment, this wine will age beautifully.

Thought I was getting the '13, but restaurant did the ol' vintage switcheroo. Still very good considering how disastrous 2014 was for Tuscan reds. The leather really stood out on this one plus some rustic tannins. Which worked just fine for a spicy penne in tiny Alpine village. Merlot dominant plus some other bdx varietals. Drink now. — 9 years ago

Third of 3 Napa cabs I've had tonight, and by far the best. Open for a few hours before finally trying and it is so damn floral. Soft red fruits dominate the palate, with a hint of dark chocolate and that new American oak smell/taste. The color is a dark magenta and pretty. All I need is a big ol' filet mignon to eat with this. — 10 years ago

2006 vintage. Fairly intense Rose sparkler that stood up to good ol fashioned checkered-tablecloth Italian food. Crushed that Parmignano — 11 years ago

Spot on this is what Toro is all about: grippy tannins, dark brooding fruit, big ol nose of soil, smoke and some leather - well done. — 11 years ago

Very tight to start, certainly needs a good ol' airing, fruit is taught and green, think lime skin but with a mealy, mineral depth. Clearly needs at least a few more years in the cellar. Palate again has that weighty glycerol and is quite restrained and tight on the finish, stone fruits but again well restrained. Cellar it. — 12 years ago

Vibrant syrah. Great with chocolate. Lots of fruits, cherry, plum. But finish with spicy, woodsy taste. Fruit punch, then orange zest, then woodsy... Very nice.

The pale gold tint shows a little more color than you may expect in a Chardonnay. The nose is elegant and restrained, with apples and pineapples joining a light touch of oak. On the palate, that oak gets a little noisier. The wine is reminiscent of an old-line California Chardonnay, buttery and a bit fat with a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel. The difference between California and Rhode Island comes in the minerality - the eastern earth is more pronounced than in those big, ol’ Chardonnays from the West. — 10 years ago

Walks that fine line between grounded in earth tones with savory notes in the nose and a richness of fruit that could only come from coastal sonoma sites with plenty of minutes in the sunshine. Thoroughly enjoyed with a little poutine thrown together from some braised beef cheeks, Wisconsin cheddar curds, and good ol russets. — 11 years ago

This really does need a good ol decant but has wonderful concentration, very deep, almost broody nose of intense blackcurrant and dark plum fruit as well as a strange but very attractive mix of blueberry & graphite, almost heading towards prune.
A very well balanced mid palate though seems to be somewhat lacking in acidic lift overall but the fruit seems well integrated with the tannins, slightly underripe black berry fruit and with some grip on the finish, food would benefit this wine at the moment but it would be interesting to see how this comes along. Feels like it would benefit from at least another 5 years in bottle. Decent length. — 12 years ago
