Aubert

Eastside Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2016

Gave this an hour decant. Straw color. Full bodied. Nose of lemon curd, subtle tropical fruits, melon, buttery popcorn, and a mineral note. The palette seems to float. Lots of glycerol, suspended on a ball of acid in the midpalette. The acid finishes long with bright citrus. — 7 years ago

Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Solid Cab no matter the occasion. Worth the asking price though? The jury is still out on that one. — 8 years ago

Broken Record Sparkling White Blend

Exactly what you expect from a blend like this. Very new world drinkable on its own. I would bring this to a party. Very low acid and big juicy berries. Not very dynamic of complex however. — 11 years ago

Martinelli

"Giuseppe & Luisa" Russian River Valley Zinfandel 2013

Great wine but definitely needs a little aging. A whopping 16.3% abv. Fruit, little bit of spice, honey? On the nose. Pretty jammy, nice red licorice, Burnt sugar, cocoa. Better wines for the money, but was fun — 8 years ago

These suckers are the epitome of jammy zin to me. Fun in their own way. The Jackass bottlings are the way to go if you can get them.

@Shay A I totally agree. A little too much for my liking, but I’m glad I gave this guy a try. Been wanting to try a Jackass bottling for quite some time. A friend of mine had a bottle of the 1999 vintage this past weekend and said it was stupid good.

@Arden Barnett : Very cool and very jealous. I’ve got current release Jackass Zin (can’t remember if it’s the Jackass Hill or Jackass Vineyard) but I don’t plan on touching it for a while. That ‘99 was probably firing on all cylinders.
