Almaviva Puente Alto Red Blend 2012

I believe this is another new world partnership like with Opus & it really reminded me of the Opus one! — 8 years ago

Sanford & Benedict Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2012

Agricola Punica

In a great spot. What a unique partnership between Santadi and Tenuta San Guido... A little green from the younger 10% Cab Sauv, but integrated and complex — 10 years ago

Aalto

Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo 2009

Fabien Lainé
9.0

A great wine that became much rounder and elegant than few years back but still quite powerful modern Ribera style, a big Tempranillo marked by oak that still need time to get smoother, better to open ahead and let breath - Mariano Garcia developed his winemaking reputation at Vega Sicilia before joining Aalto in partnership with Javier Zaccagnini. — 10 years ago

Chateau St. Jean

Robert Young Vineyard Alexander Valley Chardonnay 2010

A partnership with one of my favorite California vineyards; Robert Young. Pretty smooth with an oak finish. — 12 years ago

Crocus (Paul Hobbs/Bertrand Vigouroux)

l'Atelier Malbec de Cahors 2012

Of the entire portfolio of this partnership this is the least powerful, but it needs to be as the fruit is more elegant, red, though deep with a touch of oak that adds more dimension. Day 2 this is the wine you want to drink, balanced and long. Day 1 was tight and pretty closed up, more oak and less fruit. — 9 years ago

Southbrook Winery

Triomphe Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot 2013

Deep-space gastronomers theorize that "dark matter" is remnants of Filet Mignon Prime that the Big Bang scattered across the Universe; those same gastronomers have speculated this is the only wine they could pair with it, especially if the next Food Network/SpaceX partnership goes as they hoped. — 10 years ago

Ferrari-Carano

Sonoma County Fumé Blanc Sauvignon Blanc 2013

Bright, very bright. Not blinding, but definitely bright enough to warrant the figurative mouth sunglasses. The first swig is almost aggressive in it's tang - very fruity and held together with some acidity (the partnership works well). Then it hangs around a little, showing off it's body, which is fairly stocky like a water polo player without being the least bit overweight. It climbs out of the mouth-pool rather quickly, as if it weighed but a feather, dripping a little trail of mineral taste as it heads for the locker room, leaving you wondering how such a robust body can still seem so light and how it can start out almost sweet and finish almost dry. And how bad this review is. (I have no idea what I'm talking about.) But it's a solid wine - really solid. — 11 years ago

Equipo Navazos

Navazos-Niepoort Vino Blanco Palomino Fino 2011

Intriguing experimental white wine. Spain in origin with Portuguese and Spanish winemaking partnership. Mineral, almond, white blossoms and apple skin notes. Fresh on the palate ans sherry like in flavor without the bitterness from the flor of a Fino sherry. Tasted great the second evening matching the profile with a little more depth and freshness. #niepoort — 12 years ago

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014

This has proper balance, pure fruit, and roundness but also with tension on the finish. I am curious about the barrel regiment because of a cinnamon/baking spice nice on the nose. Just wasn't expecting that. First vintage, a partnership between wine Jay and Meo Camuzet. So the knowledge is there. — 9 years ago
