The Descent

Radovanović

Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

A very very descent cab from this part of the world. Inky enough, dry and good taste of berries. Will work this in to a regular rotation during the cold months. — 8 years ago

Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste

Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Dark colour. Intense cherry note with a hint of oak. Ripe, soft, balanced and sweet tannins and yet with descent acidity that gives it a bit of freshness. After taste isn't long, not lingering. — 8 years ago

Bodegas Mauro

Terreus Paraje de Cueva Baja Tempranillo 2011

At the beginning of the fourteenth century, Castilla and León participated in the Reconquista, the re-conquest of the spanish peninsula from its medieval muslim rulers.
Seven centuries later, Bodegas Mauro reconquers our palate.
Absolutely stunning from the cristal clear dark ruby, subtle, but flirty nose, to the rich, red fruit balanced with formal tannins, and a dash of cassis.
The incredibly silky descent, and long, beautiful aftertaste must have the Vega Sicilia family on edge. They simply cannot deliver this craftsmanship at this price.
Unforgettable!

Château Talbot

Saint-Julien Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1989

Good showing! Shy for the first hour. Slightly ethereal body, but beautiful spice notes and ability to hang with peppery steak. Would imagine this is in gentle descent — 9 years ago

Bortolomiol

Ius Naturae Brut Prosecco Superiore

Sept 25, 2015. Purchased at San Zenone wine store to celebrate John's Mt Grappa descent. W/ j2, Jim, Don. Organic. Dry, lovely. — 10 years ago

Bodegas Caro (Barons de Rothschild / Catena)

Amancaya Gran Reserva Mendoza Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Excellent blend, descent body, a little sweet probably due to its young age very good companion to the superb stake of Chicago cut stakehouse — 10 years ago

Dragani

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo

So oaky that I feel like a lumberjack licking a fresh cut tree. Sits on your palette as easy as a hummingbird resting on your eyelash. Silken (like Lauman) finish with a toe warming descent. — 10 years ago

Romililly

Pinot Noir 2011

Wow. My descent into Pinot love is accelerating. — 12 years ago

Dr. Loosen

Dr. L Mosel Riesling

Our favorite riesling and the start of our descent into sweet wines. We consider it to be sweet, but not too sweet. The wine steward at Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill in Las Vegas said it is not a true riesling, though I do not remember what style he said it was. — 8 years ago

TintoNegro

Mendoza Malbec 2015

Very descent Malbec. Not too earthy. It's sharp and goes great with steak — 9 years ago

Archery Summit

Premier Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2012

More jammy than what's typical from Oregon. Lots of spice and a descent amount of tannin grip. — 9 years ago

Château Faugères

Saint-Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Ron R
9.4

Without doubt, at the price-point, this is my standout 2009 Bordeaux.

On the nose it's opulent with notes of treacle toffee, dark chocolate and coffee.

The palette is textured and framed with tannins of royal descent. The wine is dense and velvety with black cherries kirsch and a hint of lychees.

A very modern Bordeaux (global warming?)

Buena Vista Winery

The Count Founder's Sonoma Red Blend 2012

Great quality to price ratio. Thanks to Wine Trends and Myanah for introducing this at last night's tasting event. Being of Hungarian descent and hearing the count's story made this even more enjoyable for me. — 10 years ago

Highlands Winery

Howell Mountain Zinfandel 2008

2008. Strong but descent. Love it! — 10 years ago

Elk Cove Vineyards

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir Rosé 2012

The Pinot Noir Rose is a beautiful rosé in color. There is a wonderful fragrance of fresh strawberries and whit flowers, whit hints of watermelon. There is a crisp, refreshing and light mouth feel. Just a little lighter than I usually like. Good strawberries, a bit of watermelon and hints of peach. A descent length in the mouth but all in the front and little on the backend. This wine will do well on a sunny summer day with a bit of a chill to it. — 12 years ago

Clos Pegase

Mitsuko's Vineyard Pinot Noir

Paired with lobster dumplings, descent Chad for $31 — 8 years ago

Enjoyable wine from a large winery. Good at the price point but misses the hype. BC wine enthusiast.

Salta Torrontes 2011

Venturing to South America to try my hand at a Torrontes. There is a beautiful nose on this bottle. The fruit is bold and tickling the senses with peach, grapefruit, passion fruit and tangerines. On the palate the peach comes true along with the tangerines. There is a good minerality with a descent acidity but not over bearing. — 12 years ago
