2010. Els Jelepins. Easily one of the most exciting projects in Spain. Usually these wines are whacked out with tons of VA (this vintage the VA is mostly under control), but this year it is way more polished and pretty. Still hazy and unfiltered. But it'll age well and will be fun to drink over the next decade and, although I won't have any left by then, probably beyond. — 10 years ago

One of Luca's personal favorites and pet projects. Opens up nicely. Notes of olives and sea salt. — 12 years ago
Already showing secondaries. More fruit on the palate than the nose projects. Light tannins and firm acidity. — 9 years ago
This is so good to sip on — 9 years ago
Really nice high altitude Pinot from Argentina. Tons of cranberry and tart red fruit with high acidity. The Michellini bros are crushing it with all their different projects in and around Mendoza. — 9 years ago
2005 Raveneau Mont Mains. moderate yellow color; delicate honeyed nose; projects well; palate is nice, rice one the palate and moderately long finish though a bit drying on the palate and lacking acid cleaned on the palate — 10 years ago
75 cases, a beast that unraveled in the glass. Smokey. My favorite of the Lynn Penner Ash side projects. Great Worden Hill aromatics buried under layers of spice and herbal notes — 10 years ago
Very tasty 07 Spring Mountain Cabernet. Aaron Potts own label, you may also know some of his other consulting projects like Quintessa, Blackbird, Bello. This is dense and concentrated, loaded with dark fruits, spices, coffee and chocolate. Rich and Voluptuous all the way through. — 11 years ago
Cluster Riesling, 12% alc., $14.99: Another one of Sean’s special projects, and my favorite of the CGT Rieslings, this pale straw colored wine was made from hand selected grape clusters pressed whole without destemming or crushing, which then underwent a very cool (42º F) fermentation to draw the process out. Off dry, at under 1% residual sugar, it dishes out rich, generous red and green apple flavors and aromas shaded with a hint o’ lime and good minerality; it’s a bit more than medium bodied, with good weight and beautiful concentration. I love this wine. Find this wine — 9 years ago
The 2013 David Arthur Chardonnay Napa Valley is a slight green-golden hue offers bright and illuminated aromas of kiwi, Asian pear and Golden delicious apple, followed by white peach, citrus blossom and light hints of toasted almonds. The palate is soft, plush and full throttle with layers of citrus, candied apple, poached pear. The finish projects a subtle minerality. #davidarthur #chardonnay #napa #winelover #winespectrum #wine #wino #vino #cheers #instawine — 9 years ago
2012 WPA Wine Projects Administration Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills. Strawberry, raspberry, and cherry cola in a balanced, lighter style. Very good and easy to drink. — 10 years ago
Pretty medium cherry red. The bouquet really projects from this wine with a complex array of forest floor, sappy blackberry and just a hint of gaminess. There is an appealing softness to this wine that comes without sacrificing complexity - delicious and just enough acidity to pair well with a diverse array of foods. Medium body, Elegant, long finish. This is a marvelous, user-friendly wine — 10 years ago
Never heard of Vindication before. Will need to watch for it a little more now. Gotta love winemaker side projects. — 11 years ago

Ay, this is good. Loire with a twist. Blue fruit and rhubarb and hibiscus. A lot of funk in the nose. These Portland wine projects are really stepping up. — 9 years ago
