Pleasant Valley

Duckhorn Vineyards

Fruit forward and not quite settled; but a pleasant experience (1 hour decant) — 7 years ago

Campo Viejo

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2014

Smooth, well-bodied, pleasant — 8 years ago

Bodegas Ateca

Very surprising hit of dark fruit at the start which dissipates quickly leaving a very pleasant red — 8 years ago

Fattoria dei Barbi (Colombini)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

Improved after opening up; structured with high acidity and pleasant mineral and plum, but too light in terms of fruit, color, and body — 8 years ago

Tastes like a chocolate covered grape! — 9 years ago

Bodegas del Palacio de Fefiñanes

Rías Baixas Albariño de Fefiñanes

Always the right answer. Beautifully clean and finishing with delicate zest. Soft minerality and overall just pleasant to drink. — 9 years ago

We we're just going to have a half bottle but, what a surprise, ended up with a second. A pleasant quaff. — 10 years ago

E. Guigal

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2010

Yum! Amazing QPR at CHF12 at COOP in Zürich. Not complex but truly tasty and pleasant. — 11 years ago

Santa Cristina (Marchesi Antinori)

Toscana Red Blend 2011

Not complex but a great little everyday wine. I rate this so high because of it's versatility in food pairing and cost ($11.00). Pleasant to drink on it's own, as well. — 11 years ago

Mount Pleasant Wines

Lovedale Sémillon 2003

No oak. What the fuck?! Waxy, oaky (if possible), almost nutty. Sublime. — 7 years ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2011

Really nice and pleasant blend. Young and a bit cranky but rewarding with some air. Dark black fruits, fennel seed, turned wet earth, coffee, cedar, cocoa, tobacco, and dried flowers. Enjoyed the acid that balanced the forward but fine clay-like tannins. — 9 years ago

Mount Veeder Winery

Stag's Leap Wine Cellars

Artemis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Clear deep purple colour with watery rim. Clean medium intensity aroma with minty black cherry and black currant with hint of oak smokiness and vanilla. Dry on the palate full bodied medium alcohol with medium acidity and high but smooth velvety tannin. Flavours of earthy black currant, black cherry, and vanilla. Flavours last through into its long pleasant finish. Very good quality, drink now but can age for another 3 to 5 years for a even more balanced complexity. — 11 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Nice but very young. Needs serious decanting to open up enough to show full fruit and mellow tannins enough to be pleasant — 12 years ago

Allegrini

Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend 2014

Pleasant, unique. Drier with fruity flavors and oaky finish — 7 years ago

Dominus Estate

Dominus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1990

In a great place. Lots of green pepper, but quite pleasant — 8 years ago

Whetstone Wine Cellars

Pleasant Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir

Wow, just got this Pinot from Whetstone. This is seriously good. Nose is earthy and with a big, dense fruit rush. Legs are long, but you don't get that true alcohol taste. My Riedel Som Pinot glass is brimming with a dark, almost eggplant color...every swirl releases a wonderful aroma. Just beautiful. — 8 years ago

Carmel Road

Monterey County Pinot Noir 2014

Every since we won that bottle, this has been a go-to. The cheap crap from Costco is surprisingly good, but for just a few $ more, your evening can go from pleasant to sophisticated. Clear, smooth, and dangerously gulp-able in the Monterey style. Repeat! — 9 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

Very nice pinot noir but not traditional by pinot standards. Very clean and complex. Layers of great berry fruit and spice. Interesting textures. Very pleasant finish. — 10 years ago

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2002

My favorite of the night. Fruity but graceful with a very long lasting, pleasant finish. — 10 years ago

Venge Vineyards

Scout's Honor Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend 2010

A very pleasant Zin blend. Lots of fruit and a real rounded mouth feel. Probably one of the best blends I have had in years. Great rib choice. — 11 years ago

Ridge Vineyards

Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2011

Pleasant surprise. Great complexity, tons of flavor. Want to try again when I'm not in a big group. — 12 years ago
