Refreshing, light, slightly sweet smell. Pleasantly tingly on the tip of tongue, very complex, flavors spread out on tongue, floral and fruity. Medium ish tannins. Rounded, clean finish. So good! Had at Smith and wolleksny with samir — 9 years ago

Bonavita

Faro Nerello Blend 2013

An elegant structured Sicilian wine from Faro (extreme NE tip of the island). Kind of like Nebbiolo (with its tar, rose, and bright clear color) meets Sangiovese (with its rich cherry, leather/tobacco, and assertive acidity). A food wine for sure, as Narellos always are. This one has a wee bit of Nocera as well. A fine producer...they make a rosato as well from the same blend - reputed to be the best on the island. — 9 years ago

Quinta do Vallado

Douro Red Blend 2007

Smells a bit earthy like currants and almond. Super dark and opaque. Super smooth tip to finish, with a savory hint of fig, almond, and dull (in a good way) cherry. — 9 years ago

Balletto Vineyards

Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2013

Take a bite into this full Pinot. Makes the back of your mouth water when it hits the tip of your tongue as if you're biting into a sweet tart. Surprisingly smooth finish. Bouncy in flavor and tranquil in mouth feel — 10 years ago

Belle Glos

Meiomi Pinot Noir 2013

Bright acidity. More raspberry than cherry on the nose. Tannins stick primarily to the tip of the tongue and dies quickly at the back. — 11 years ago

Emilio Lustau

Fine Old Rare Sherry Palo Cortado de Jerez 1/50 Vides Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Tip top quality. Dark and dirty tones on the nose lead to an eyeopening showcase of depth of flavor carried with such grace and softness. Pure artistry and craftmanship. Homerun, slamdunk, hole in one. — 11 years ago

Danza Del Sol

Sauvignon Blanc 2011

First wine of the day and it's light and fruity with the tannins and hints of grapefruit that lad on the tip of your tongue. A very light and refreshing wine. — 12 years ago

Les Chataigners Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay 2010

Penultimate bottle! With perennial thanks to D Beckwith for the tip. Owing to its age, it shows best from 30-90 minutes on opening. Thereafter it gets sorta wide without further revelations or complexity, but there’s a kind of mineral sweet spot with cool Japanese umami notes and I’m consistently impressed by the showing. — 8 years ago

Caymus Vineyards

Special Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

This is the 2012 Caymus Special Select. Yummy. Beautiful purple color, full body clings to the glass when you swirl it and tastes great. Before 20 min decant it has a slight tannin taste in the tip of the tongue but after 30 min it's just as good as the 2010. Super nice. Bought 1/2 case — 11 years ago

Edmeades

Mendocino County Zinfandel 2012

Lovely passion fruit pomegranate bouquet. Smooth. Tannins on the tip of the tongue that do a salsa dance the rest of the way back to a bolder, smooth finish. — 11 years ago

Altovinum

Evodia Garnacha

Spanish old vine garnacha from the "mountains in Spain". Not sure if it's the same mountains of 'For Whom the Bell Tolls' by Hemingway, but in case it is, I'll tip my glass up to the Republic and the beauty of American literature. Wish I knew what it was like to have it out of a wine skin! Obscenity in the milk, yes! #bookishwine — 12 years ago

Very drinkable, goes well with food and on its own. Not much of a smell, just alcohol-y. Smooth on the tip, tingly at back of throat. Small tannins, very refreshing, kind of sweet, but balanced by zestiness. Had with zucchini grilled cheese with egg. Leaves warm feeling in back of throat. — 9 years ago

Vibrancy and depth with each tip of the glass. A racy freshmaker. Petrol, lemon rind and wet gravel. Very Coche-y at a fraction of the price. Credit to @romo for turning me on to this and @Max Kogod for purveying it with aplomb. — 9 years ago
