Tree on the label, nice! Dark color. Looks good in the glass. Smells wine-y. Hint of construction materials. Maybe some autumn leaves too. Flavors are fruit driven. Plums and berries. Pretty smooth and easy drinking. Has a bit of bite with tannins on finish. 14.5% ABV. Tasty & a steal for $4 at G.O. — 2 days ago
Complex aroma. Flavors are French style and enjoyable. Bittersweet. Nice stuff. — 4 days ago
Nice simple label. Easy screw-off top. Excellent color. Maroon, rosy red. Smells nice. Rose petals, berries, herbal. Just a little fancy flower soap. Flavors are smooth and likable. Hint of cream. Slightly wood. Cedar? A very likable and tasty Spanish Temp. — 6 days ago
Pretty purple label. Smells of fruit and creams. Cooked together. Hint of herbs. Flavors are tart and juicy. Bit of blueberries and blackberries. Simple and friendly. It’s not bad, but not a complete or complex Rioja. — 12 hours ago
Wow Est. 1665! Been around for a while. Pale, golden straw color. Smells like seawater and lemon peels. Flavors are dry and simple. Clean. Has plenty of zip and crispness. Nice citrusy finish. Label says ‘tropical fruits’. Pineapple? Sure. Hint of pineapples without the sugars too. This is a good white to have on hand with the other Spanish ones on a warm day. — 2 days ago
Cork shattered, had to decant it. Well aged to say the least. Over 20 years in the bottle. Blend of Merlot 80% and Cab Franc 20%. Still has excellent color. Just a little hint of rust on edge. Aroma is very interesting. Savory and kinda minty. Some horehound maybe. Hint of soy sauce too. It’s a crazy melange in the nose. Fruit too. Flavors are French with lots of bittersweet stuff. Full of cassis. Little espresso. Complexity in spades and dense flavors. This has aged into a beaut. A great Saint-Emillion. Kinda has it all going on. — 6 days ago
This one has Cab Sauv and Petite Sirah too. Dark color. Smells a bit new world. Juicy. Flavors are good. Chewy and complex with plenty of dark berries and a hint of mocha. Big. Has a lot of heavy red grapes, but not a CA fruit bomb. More in there. — a day ago
Different vintage. Smells decent. Stem-y. And tart. Flavors are good. This is a great value wine. — 2 days ago
Aged Yolo County Tannat. With a whimsical name. Dark color with a rusty edge. Smells a bit funky. Spike of berry liquor. Hint of wood chips. Flavors are very heavy on the black currant with a hint of plummy-ness. Might be a bit past perfection. Not as much as much tannin and funk as some Tannat, but has plenty of style. Drinks a bit like a French wine. Wonder who is using these grapes now that Rockwall is out of business? — 4 days ago
