Pepper, limon, chipotle peppers, black pepper, spice blend, smoke, ash—love it. Beautiful amber color which I imagine is from the 9 years of aging. Amber gold tint.

Unique wine and excellent for the price point of $21 — 6 years ago

100% Cabernet from M. Harold from Calistoga. I loved this wine! It has a slight raspberry tint on the nose but opens up quickly to reveal sensuous dark fruits; cassis, blackberry, and boysenberry. Totally ssmooth and drinkable now. — 7 years ago

Its Italian night! This is Brunelli2010 Brunello di Montalcino imported by my favorite importers, Small Vineyards in Seattle WA. It is 14% and feels like 13%. Nevertheless, the bouquet is nothing like a California cab - yes I know its not comparable, but this is my base. It is almost like a plumb pie. Don't let this discourage you. On second smell, Its almost like a rubber fishing worm. Still, not what Im used to so maybe I don't know what the heck Im smelling! The color does have that slightly brown tint to the beautiful Oregon pinot color. The initial palate is crisp and fruity like cherries and cranberries. Nevertheless, the mid palate is just like a fresh sip of 100% cranberry juice. The finish comes with that lingering tartness of cranberry juice with a drying of the upper palate and a splash of spice. It is dry. It is good. It is one of my favorites! — 7 years ago

Shows rusty tint. Nutmeg and cherry nose. Medium bodied and very dry. Tastes like sour cherries, raspberries, slight leather, high acid. Not unlike a mid-level Piemonte red with a little French intrigue. Respectable finish and complexity. Fruit shows better with exposure, still would be interested in comparing to a riper vintage. — 7 years ago

Light straw in color with a light golden tint.

Beautiful nose of tropical fruits, white flowers, limes, lemon zest, mangoes, guava, peaches, apples, passion fruit, pears, melons and white pepper.

Medium-bodied and crisp with high acidity.

Dry and fruity on the palate with green apples, grapefruits, limes lemons and spices.

Long finish with nice acidity, bitter almonds and pepper.

What a nice Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough. Refreshing and crisp for this wonderful Florida weather. Nice enough to sip on by itself. I paired it with grilled salmon.

13% alcohol by volume. — 8 years ago

Pale yellow with green tint, tearstaining mouthwatering swirl; sweet delicious citric nose; rich and robust bone-dry taste with fairly high alcohol, and long finish dominated by acid and tart green apple and some 3iery aromas. Nice message in this bottle from Wittman. Want to try Morstein next. — 9 years ago

2013. It has a medium ruby color that's slightly cloudy with a young nose of cherries and tabacco while showing a tint of mustiness and slight volatile acidity. The mouth is dry and full of fruit recalling the cherries and adding some cranberries and dark chocolate. All and all it's a good wine but a bit dry and acidic for my taste. More marketing from Gredos. Good but not great. 15% alcohol with a medium color depth???? — 9 years ago

This sherry has a golden-yellow tint and a forceful nose. That wonderful resinous sherry smell is there in spades, along with walnuts and anise. The sip offers similar wonders, with a completely savory approach. It's as dry as a bone, provided the bone was lying in the desert sun for a while. There's not a lick of sweetness, so it's not Grandma’s sherry. The chalky vineyard soil seems to speak through what these Palomino Fino grapes have wrought. There are notes of hazelnut, lemon and the all-important yeast layer - flor - that sits atop the wine in the barrel for five years. The acidity is decent, but not too forceful, and afterward, the finish lingers with anise lasting the longest. Wow, is all. — 6 years ago

Stevige rode wijn. Volle geur, trapje hoger dan La Tota - Barbera D'Asti en duidelijk op vat gelegen. Kruidige tint en geconcentreerde smaak (Superiore) maar niet kras zoals de Toscaanse rode wijnen. Zacht gevoel in de mond. — 8 years ago

This excellent Sangiovese is unfiltered and has a maroon rather than ruby tint. It is slightly fuller of body than your typical Sangio and extremely polished, and worked well as a pairing with vegetable pasta dishes, with chicken sausage on the side. Plum and currant flavors prevail up front leading into a tart black licorice finish. — 8 years ago

Really torn on this one. A great expression. Earthy, with a barnyard tint to it. Has spice and tart fruit. But also doesn't taste as well integrated as I expected. — 8 years ago

This unoaked wine - 100% Chardonnay - smells great. It has a rich, golden tint and a little Champagne-like funk on the nose. I have only encountered that quality once before in a still wine, and it was in a Chardonnay from Uruguay. In this Moroccan Chardonnay it is not as pronounced, and it might be taken as salinity. The fruit aromas offer nectarines, peaches, pineapples and a touch of lime. In the mouth, fantastic acidity makes a refreshing sip. Tropical fruit flavors dominate - papaya, mango, pineapple - and there is an earthy quality that is expected after the aromas telegraphed it. The wine finishes citrusy, but it doesn't last very long. — 8 years ago

Super tart acidity not unlike a dry vouvray but with a bit more weight. Slight pink tint from the red grapes. Would pair well with shellfish. Most interesting thing I've tasted in a while!! — 9 years ago

Lovely classic pale garnet with orange tint to the rim. Aromatic with floral notes, tar, later and some cherry. Very appealing freshness - firm acidity and well-balanced. Made from youngest vines it is textbook Barolo — 7 years ago

67% Cab 30% Merlot and rest PV. Bad economic year and was hard to sell despite great vintage. Creamy right away when you open it with tint of spiciness. Christophe took over the winery in 2005 so this is one of their earlier vintages and only made 70k bottles — 8 years ago

Oh my gosh, this is a fantastic wine - with food or just for drinking. A tint of orange in color. Perfect amount of herb and fruit. — 8 years ago

The pale gold tint shows a little more color than you may expect in a Chardonnay. The nose is elegant and restrained, with apples and pineapples joining a light touch of oak. On the palate, that oak gets a little noisier. The wine is reminiscent of an old-line California Chardonnay, buttery and a bit fat with a wonderful, creamy mouthfeel. The difference between California and Rhode Island comes in the minerality - the eastern earth is more pronounced than in those big, ol’ Chardonnays from the West. — 8 years ago

2006 vintage. Rose. Medium salmon hue with orange tint on rim. Red currants and cranberries. Herbal notes as wine warms in the glass. Generous on the palate. Integrated acidity. Light tannins on the back of the palate. Medium plus concentration. No obvious leesy character. Fresh and quaffable. — 9 years ago

9.2

This is a wine I need to think about. Nose is clean-if-light with lots of peach and sweet yellow fruit. A bit of white pepper comes through too. Color is deep and dark gold with deep orange tint as well. Palate is dry, mouthcoating, and chewy with fine tannins in this orange wine. Alcohol is well-balanced and highlights the big peach and sweet mango fruit. White pepper and spices of nutmeg, cinnamon, and allspice round this out.leafing into a medium to long finish. I'm thinking that this would be fantastic with charred and caramelized poultry. Nice. — 11 years ago
