Château D'Arlay

Corail Côtes du Jura Poulsard Blend

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

Cantina Oliena

Nepente di Oliena Cannonau di Sardegna

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

Domaine du Haut des Terres Blanches

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2011

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

Domaine des Ouled Thaleb

Un-Oaked Chardonnay

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

Domaine Ludovic Engelvin

Espontaneo Vin de Pays du Gard Blanc de Noir Grenache

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

El Marciano Grenache 2013

MICHAEL COOPER DipWSET
9.0

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

Limelight

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir Rose Blend

Juicy apple flavours, with a spicy strawberry nose. Interesting pink tint. Veritas silver medal, and 2012 best value award. — 11 years ago

Marchesi Alfieri

Alfiera Barbera d'Asti Superiore 2011

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

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015

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.

Greenvale Vineyards

Southeastern New England Chardonnay 2013

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

Moët & Chandon

Grand Vintage Brut Champagne Rosé Blend 2006

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

Vinoterra

Kakheti Kisi 2011

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

Château Brown

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2008

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

Palumbo Family

Bella Vigna Sangiovese 2012

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

Gush Etzion

Lone Oak Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Pale lemon in color with a green tint.

Big nose of petrol, lemon, lime and minerals.

Dry on the palate with lemons, grapefruits, green apples, minerals and metals.

Medium bodied, fresh and crisp.

Long, satisfying finish with limes.

A Great, 100% Sauvignon Blanc, that was grown on the slopes of the Judean Hills.

Balanced and enjoyable now. I had it just by itself.

Trocken Riesling 2013

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
