Dunn Vineyards

Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Who says 2011 didn't produce any good wines??? Pitch black in the glass. The nose on this is all man; eucalyptus, mint, fresh leather, cigar tobacco, sage. For such an extracted wine, the palate is extremely light on its feet. Dark berries abound, balanced by nice acidity. There's a nice core of fruit, maraschino cherries. This doesn't have the density to be truly age worthy, but will evolve beautifully over the next 5-10 years. — 9 years ago

Domaine Le Clos Des Lumières

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhone Blend 2012

Full but smooth, a nice peppery taste with fruit. It says silky tannins on the bottle and I couldn't agree more! Great with gourmet pizza (caramelized onions, roasted garlic, basil, goat cheese, mushrooms, etc.) — 10 years ago

Clos du Val Wine Co.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Fantastic Cabernet, as always. This is my all-time favorite California Cabernet and this vintage (2010) does not disappoint. The wine is rich and complex, with immediate impact on the palate and in the nose. Earthy and spicy, yet well rounded with berries and floral notes. Finishes smoothly but with a little nip of spicy and leathery creamy voluptuousness. Maureen says, "delicious!" — 8 years ago

Gargiulo Vineyards

Five Seventy Five OVX Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Who says 2011 was a bad year? Beautiful garnet from the glass. Elegant floral and blue fruit on the nose. Deep blueberry, black berry and currant tastes on the palate. Excellently structured with sweet tannins and beautiful acidity. These grapes come from a great Oakville neighborhood. Great family owned winery! — 9 years ago

William Hill Estate Winery

North Coast Chardonnay 2013

Really a very nice Chardonnay. The nose is very rich and buttery, while the wine is slightly acidic and rather floral on the tongue. It is floral and citric at the finish. Overall, very nice at $15. Maureen says "pleasant, citrusy, acidic. Not my favorite, but fine." — 10 years ago

Selección Especial Rioja Tempranillo 2010

Superb! Nice and thick body, red cooked fruit, deep, hint of vanilla and light smokiness with light tannins. Feels almost sweet. Length is great. Dad says it's close to a medic from the same vintage, but it feel less "serious" and more "feminin". Will definitely buy it again — 10 years ago

Cambria Estate Winery

Julia's Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012

Really nice Pinot. Earthy and rich in the nose, fruity and floral on the tongue. A little barnyard but not too much. Well rounded and very drinkable. Enjoyable with cheese and crackers. Definitely would drink again. Maureen says "too bad it's gone." — 11 years ago

Clonakilla

Canberra District Shiraz Viognier 2015

Australia's premium Shiraz Viognier blend and Tim Kirk says this is the best one he has ever made. I have been buying since the 2001 vintage. This is a cracking cool climate Shiraz blend showing florals Spice and a hint of pepper. Palate is restrained - more the weight of Pinot than Shiraz. Intensity without weight- Fluid, beautiful finishing with fine persistent tannins- 15 years stretching ahead of it. More whole bunch than the early vintages like many Aussie Shiraz producers these days. David Le Mire MW said whole bunch serves to lower the alcohol and increase the pH. Gives a "Tea" character with Stem tannins adding to the finish. — 8 years ago

Vigna del Noce Barbera d'Asti Barbera 2004

2004. Surprising for a Barbera. Yes, it had acidity, but the acidity had mellowed over the years. Less fruity than a typical Barbera and with more earthiness. Strong with the Funghi pizza at Marta and with the Rabbit Meatballs. Great suggestion by Brian (one of the somms). Also, a good deal: Delectable says the retail price is around $65 for current release and $50 for the 2004. List price at Marta was only $72! — 10 years ago
