Porch Pounder

Austin Hope

Troublemaker Paso Robles Red Rhone Blend

Deep, dark Inky in color with a short purple rim.

Beautiful nose of violets, blackberries, figs, raisins, blueberries, sweet plums, strawberry pie, oak, earth, alcohol, light cloves, pencil lead, vanilla, licorice and black pepper.

Full-bodied, jammy and bold, with medium plus acidity and great legs.

Dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, sweet plums, vanilla, cherries, dirt, chocolates, dried prunes, wood, cabbage, tobacco and peppercorn.

Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.

A great blend of 71% Syrah, 16% Grenache, 8% Zinfandel, 3% Petite Sirah and 2% Mourvedre, from Central Coast, California.

Good pretty much right out of the bottle. Enjoyable by itself, a great Porch Wine.
Nicely balanced, with a kick of acidity at the end that makes it very interesting and pleasurable.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Mont de Milieu Chablis 1er Cru Chardonnay

Bright sunshine. Lisa wants to drink this on the porch of our plantation overlooking the Spanish moss covered elms. Lemon, orange peel, stones. Living and vibrant. Great acid/fruit balance. Med+ length. ~chalky texture. Delicious now but good to age. — 9 years ago

Everything one would want from a Kermit Lynch moderately priced Brunello. Had it with ravioli and Italian sausage on the back porch on a beautiful Illinois summer evening. And it was a star. — 10 years ago

Azienda Agricola La Torre

Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

I just loved this. This area owns Sangiovese quite obviously and this is no exception despite the price. Tastes like someone took a bunch of Brunellos and put em all together. Really noticeable and delightful oak. Highly recommend enjoying this. No food pairing, this is a sun's down back porch summer evening red. — 10 years ago

Winemaker's California Red Blend

Despite the name and aggro label, this is an excellent blend for under $12. A touch sweet, but it's easy to see the craft and care that was put into. Ignore the label, sit on the back porch and have some fun! — 11 years ago
