This is wonderful - a nose of fresh ripe sweet red strawberry, morphs into some raspberry. Acid builds perfectly into a balance of fruit and acid with the prevailing strawberry note at the center. Finishes also fruity with just a tinge of green fruit but just a hint, and a I mean a hint, of chalk. This balances the finish beautifully. Really world class rose. — 7 years ago

Great value at $25. Well balanced. Jammy but not overly so. Dark fruits with creamy chocolate aromas. More dark fruits, chocolate, oak, and a touch of spice. Smooth finish. Pnp. — 8 years ago

Was worried it was past it's prime at 11 years and my cork fell apart. Got lucky it still had life! Big wine. Wasn't exactly my fav but it was interesting. Solid finish. — 9 years ago

As a next to broke graduate student, I'm all about finding value wines, so I was pretty stoked when I tried this one. Floral nose with vegetal notes of crisp bell pepper. Sour cherry on the palette with vegetal and herbaceous characteristics and firm tannins. My only complaint is an ever so slightly bitter mid palette and finish. Overall a really nice find for a cab at $12 — 10 years ago

The wood is too present and the tannins a bit obvious at this point but decent acidity gives me hope this will round into form. Does American oak want PS? — 11 years ago

2007 Marcassin Blue-Slide Ridge Pinot. Drank as the second red wine at the David Gray concert. Worked out well bc the Brunello was much more suited as a food wine and this wine was perfect to drink without food, after dinner and during the actual concert. Tons of fruit balanced with nice minerality. Great weight and texture in the mouth. Really enjoyed! — 11 years ago

This is what I expect from great Pinot in Oregon. Hints of dried blueberry, strawberry, clove on the nose. Bright cherry, cinnamon and clove on palate — 11 years ago

30 min allowed for the wine to open... Ever so slight hint of prunes from ripe plums on the nose, juicy fresh grape flavors, mid palate of earth, cedar, & acid that causes cleansing salivation across the tongue... 2007 vintage firing on all cylinders, and at a high moment, from a producer of magical Zinfandels... it's the next morning, and I'm still craving more. — 10 years ago

Black fruit with pleasantly dusty herbs. Pure black currant. Pure waves of rolling spice that grows with time. Not cheap, but great value for money. $50 at winery. — 11 years ago

Our K&L Redwood City staff party at LB steak was fantastic- nothing smaller than magnum allowed! This double mag has been in our cellar since release and has hardly moved at all! Big, powerful, Mountain fruit! — 12 years ago

Can’t beat this dark, delicious Zin for the price! It’s got a nice mouthfeel and at $8.99 from Costco, I could drink it every night! — 7 years ago

Unexpected and delightful - Pinot Noir from Southwest Virginia! From vineyards planted at 1800 feet (big diurnal range and early harvest), this silky wine sang with notes of loam and damp earth, maitake mushroom, cranberry, red cherry, raspberry compote, boysenberry, violet, lavender, black pepper, toast and wood smoke, with bracing acid and medium-plus tannins on a medium frame. A long, satisfying, and juicy finish. One to seek out that proves how careful site selection and winemaking skill can produce superb results from innovative grape/region combinations! — 8 years ago

2006 vintage. At Au Fil du Zinc, Chablis. Pale garnet hue. Savoury, Earth and manure nose, red currant and wild strawberry, red cherry. On the palate, medium acidity, medium body, medium plus alcohol. Full concentration. Long long finish. Licorice, mint, savoury spices, the whole shebang. More evolved than the '05. Superb. — 10 years ago

Funky at first but blows off to reveal a classicly balanced Ridge zin dominant blend.. This one has held up well. Love Ridge and consistent as always. — 11 years ago

Austin Beeman

9.3

Poses a spicy nose with a wild feeling of prunes and red table grapes. Palate is black currant, red plum, coffee. You can tell that there is a long going on here, plus a medium long finish. Pure with berry fruit. Young. I expect complexity to come with age as is typical with Geyserville. $38 at winery. — 11 years ago
