Swallow Cellar

Tenuta di Renieri

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese 2011

Exquisite! Subtle notes of burgundy, with a delightful finish tasting of Marlboro reds. The fragrance is reminiscent of freshly picked kiwi and warm parsnips. Finally, the color is remanent of Himalayan rubies, or perhaps a Pygmy Mexican Ruby-Throated Swallow. — 9 years ago

Tower Estate

Hunter Valley Semillon 2007

Nice, crisp just enough, passion fruit, ginger, biscuity, little herbal, very complex. Just don't know how long it will last. A good liquid to swallow at the moment👌🏽👌🏽 — 9 years ago

The Archivist

Monterey County Pinot Noir 2012

Fragrance of soy sauce and leather. Sweetness and bright acidity mix well in the tasting. Lingering after taste soy sauce flavor. Light and easy to swallow, but maintains nice structure overall. — 10 years ago

Château la Fon du Berger

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Drinks like a crisp fall day. Lightly cooked dark fruit--plums and dark cherries to my mouth--with a sturdy structure around it and some cedar, smoke and maybe a touch of sweet spice under it. Gonna swallow it down with stew so, we'll see. — 11 years ago

Pierre Laplace

Madiran Tannat Blend

Deceivingly light vs the color. Smooth, clean taste. Grape like taste that is consistent from sip to swallow. Very nice.. — 12 years ago

Cédric Bouchard

Roses de Jeanne La Bolorée Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne 2012

Words don't do this justice...ethereal and weightless on the palate, the most fragile, delicate sparkling wine I've ever tasted... grand cru Chablis with the tightest, long-lasting mousse imaginable... think head on a Belgian ale... and when you swallow an angel sings and the taste slowly disappears and a smile appears. Hard for me to imagine anything finer. Still an infant, and lighter than air... but unforgettable — 9 years ago

Côtes du Rhône Red Rhône Blend 2010

Fresh grapefruit, melted bakers chocolate with undisolved sugar, rind of plum and BlackBerry (if they had rinds). Blueberry when I swallow.

Later, it's turning into sugarless cold brownies with blueberry jam

I don't taste any yellow or green, only black, purple, Brown and hints of red.

Jean François Mérieau

L'Alliance des Générations Touraine Cabernet Franc Malbec 2004

Wine with a beautiful opaque burgundy color and some purple hue mixed in, smells of roast beef, bing cherry, and prune, medium body, soft and savory tannin, very easy drinking and paired perfectly with tarragon infused chicken and spinach salad with raspberry vinaigrette, balanced acidity with a slight spicy kick, hint of strawberry jam after swallow, wine for a relaxed Saturday afternoon. — 11 years ago

Barón Balché

Mezcla de Tintos Malbec Blend 2013

Beautiful plum ruby color with a lighter almost orange rim on it.

The nose is pretty and fragrant. Inky and acetone to start on the nose leads to wild berries with mocha and coffee dusted almonds. The tannins are grippy as hell, fighting you as you swallow. I say the finish drops off too quickly for it to get a higher score, but it has tremendous potential.

Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2013

Ridiculous value here. Elegant, classy, refreshing. Masterful use of wood. And by drinking this wine you are supporting kind-hearted, generous farmers. I'll have another swallow for all the above reasons. — 10 years ago

Villa Yambol

Merlot 2013

Smells like that blackberry-blueberry combo that I love from Merlot. Bright acidity and freshly picked blueberries are the first thing you taste, and then plums and blackberry on the midpalate that intensities as soon as you swallow. Finishes with the return of the blueberry. EXCEPTIONAL Merlot for $11. 100% Merlot, no oak. 2013 Vintage — 10 years ago

'I can't tell you what this is blind but I can tell you it surrrrre is delicious'. Rich and earthy and just these tasty chewy tannins and fairly bright fruit just starting to find its secondary characteristics. This is one of those wines I didn't even want to swallow - just swish forever! — 11 years ago
