Bella Union Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Immensely enjoyable Cab that is reminiscent of a metal fist in a velvet glove - powerful tannins and full-bodied yet surround by supple and lush fruit. — 7 years ago

Mascota Vineyards

Unánime Gran Vino Tinto Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2013

Rich violet red. Fertile earth & barrel tannins surround subdued black cherry. Vanilla & subtle peppery notes. Smooth & a bit too dry. Nice legs on the side of the glass. — 8 years ago

Niepoort (Vinhos) S.A.

Dialogo Branco Snow 2015

Crisp white blend with nectarine and lemon. With 12 panels of cartoons on the full surround label called Dialogo Douro — 8 years ago

Shafer Vineyards

Relentless Napa Valley Syrah Petite Sirah 2013

One of the best wineries in Napa. Can be consumed now but would benefit for a few years aging as tannins are very firm and surround the fruit forward taste. Still amazing, especially after 30-45 min in a decanter — 9 years ago

Aril

Atlas Peak Syrah 2010

This wine exudes the terroir of the mountain slope south of Lake Hennessey. The cool breeze coming off the water, the 100+ year old olive trees and pomegranate trees that surround the vineyard are all there in the nose. The palate shows silky smooth inky dark fruit, but without the overly tannic bite of a cab, and a funky earthiness reminiscent of a pinot. Delicious, complex wine. — 9 years ago

Deep cocoa & coffee flavors with a slightly bitter aftertaste. — 10 years ago

Il Molino di Grace

Il Margone Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2006

Clear, clean & surprisingly bright & purple with a touch of ruby red color for a wine this age. Loved the raw animal aromas that surround wild cherry & plum notes with a touch of rose petal. Cherry, earthy, somewhat reduced sulphur flavors. Rustic & classic. Not a mind blower, but traditional. — 11 years ago

Rivers-Marie

Panek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

It’s common to hear wine drinkers use the colloquialisms like “a good Tuesday night bottle” or “an excellent everyday drinker.” Well, this is a spectacular Saturday night wine; deserved of the spotlight and worthy of much anticipation.

Blue and black fruit compete for who’s more pure, while the savory creosote and cedar intertwine, and the acid and tannin do their dance. There’s timing and choreography... it’s wine in HD and Surround Sound. Extraordinary.

Poderi Luigi Einaudi

I Filari Dogliani Dolcetto 2013

Beautifully balanced smoothed out tannins surround a rich dark but it heavy fruitiness on the palette. — 9 years ago

Philippe et Francoise Gourdon

Chateau Tour Grise Saumur Chenin Blanc 2002

Totally different from any white you're used to drink. This is like entering a cave in Loire valley and smelling the walls surround you ... It's completely enveloping you with stone and earthy minerality. A good level of acidity and well balanced alcohol level makes it the find of the month, if not the year! — 10 years ago

Château Pradeaux

Bandol Mourvedre 2007

Dark purple to garnet colors - starting to show some age on the nose, but on the palate, this is still a baby. Gobs of tannin surround dark fruit & musty spice. Would like to try this again in 10 years. — 11 years ago

Stone Edge Farm

Surround Cabernet Sauvignon

Blackberry, bramble, and dried herbs. So smooth. Black fruits, spice. Delicate, but not wimpy. Dry finish. Really lovely wine — 7 years ago

Wine nerd alert!! 🍷La Rioja morning. The mountains surround the region and hold the morning fog in keeping the temperatures down in the valley. You can see that much like the Napa Valley there are many microclimates here making for interesting viticulture. The soils are comprised of a chalky, powder-like dirt with large pebbles making for ample aeration. The vines range from 40-50 years old up to more than 100 years old. The difference is noticeable on the wines. The young and old producing equally beautiful but unique juice. The young, red wines are non-complex easy drinking and the older ones provide some layers to contemplate. The white wines made with indigenous grape varietals are dry, crisp and give aromas of honey, white flowers and melon. Cheers my friends. — 8 years ago

Bollinger

La Grande Année Brut Champagne Blend 1996

Smoke and minerals surround aromas of creme brûlée and yeast . The palate is not as interesting as I found this had lost some of its focus in the mouth. Up against some very tough competitors. — 9 years ago
