Sonoma Valley Grenache 2006

Hazy garnet in the glass. Nose and palate of red apple peel, red cherry, rose petals. Fruit forward, but not a bomb by any stretch. Medium full body. Medium acidity. Medium plus tannins that assert themselves fully on the finish. Heavier than expected for a Grenache, but that just makes this all the more satisfying especially eleven years on. Pork roast is the order of the evening. Thanks, Peter! — 6 years ago

Bodegas Hidalgo

Wellington 20 Years VOS Palo Cortado Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino

Da bomb, for sherry lovers: Palo Cortado versión. A shape shifter on the palate & ringing on the higher registers, this Hidalgo checks all the boxes for me, which includes a lightness & freshness heaven made for most food. Burnt pine cone & toffee bits, a subtle mushroom thing (oyster?), & a rather trim beef bouillon broth lurking on the back end. That may all be bs but it’s a wine that inspires….. — 2 years ago

Victory Reserve Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2004

Dark ruby garnet in the glass. Abundant nose of cassis and other purple fruit with a menthol base. Palate is full-bodied and dark with black currant, prune, and old violets. Medium acidity and just enough (medium minus) tannins to keep it food friendly; burgers to Porterhouse. Just make sure the food is flavorful. It needs the competition. Still holding up well 14 years on with maybe five or ten years left. — 6 years ago

Wellington Vineyards

Sonoma Valley Syrah 2010

A bit too light on the palate for my taste but look this is a decent red for a hot day. Also can be had with most foods. Tart taste with some citrus. Nose of light leather and mellow oak. Good value, for the $ you can't go wrong. Jacked the rating a couple of notches. The wine opened got better. Thank you Wellington — 8 years ago

Fides Orange White Wellington Grenache Blanc

Helder van kleur met licht oranje tinten. In de neus citrus met een vleugje rozijn. Mooie zuren met een heel licht zoetje. Zeer bijzondere ongefilterde wijn. Bij vinificatie geen poespas maar puur natuurlijke vergisten. Totaal geen toevoegingen. Erg mooi glas! — 9 years ago
