Unfiltered Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2012

A very nice old world Zin. Tart fruits with cocoa overtones in a smooth style. Tannins are subtle but the wine does have some backbone. My wife calls it dessert! — 11 years ago

Olga Raffault

Les Picasses Chinon Cabernet Franc 2007

Can't say enough about a wine this serious at this price point. Absolutely stunning, elegant, and even (in a chinon way) powerful. Floral aromatic dominate - lavender and a bit of rose. Graphite, dusty chalk, red pepper, some raspberry. Fresh yet not primary. Hints of savory notes as well. Incredible spine of minerality runs through the palate. Great acidity and structure. Coiler and energetic. Finishes long and bright with refreshing pyrazines for days. In an incredible place now, so no fault in drinking but has a long, long life ahead. One of the best values in the wine world. Just exceptional — 9 years ago
