Nefarious Cellars

Wahluke Slope Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Sweet expressive oak up front on the aroma, lots of tannin mid palate that lingers. Slight spear/mint develops after a few minutes. — 10 years ago

Bedrock Wine Co.

Old Vine Sonoma Valley Zinfandel 2012

This starts out with a tight knit nose of red fruit, mint, and a hint of woodsmoke. Later, aromas intensified into darker red fruit. Flavors offer up dark reds, licorice, spice, silky tannin, and a spear of acidity. Paired awesome with tonite's pizza. One more bottle left but will need more for sure. — 11 years ago

Peach light clear, sweet cider and moss on the nose. Peach, light sling contact adds depth,light minerals, finishes on herbs. I really enjoy the producer. — 7 years ago

Perfect with the Bresse chicken and Morels. While reductive, this is super fresh and electric.

Weissburgunder 2012

Also reductive. Stinky and round apple at first, but was gaining power, acid like a spear with air. — 9 years ago

Taste the lemon grass and grapefruit peal - and more flavors kaffir lime leaf and Venusian Spear Fungus - this gets 10 pts for originality and a truly unique taste — 9 years ago

Bourgogne Chardonnay 2010

Like a spear! Tremendous balance and grace. Even better for being on sale at a random liquor store in Tx. More like his meursault than I expected. — 10 years ago
