Concentrated, focussed fruit, deeply penetrating and revealing layers of dark flavor infused with potent tannins. Not for the ‘faint of heart’ — 25 days ago
Complete symphony! It had about everything, dark dry plum and black cherry, earthy under notes, infused with just the slightest hint of ‘barnyard’, fine grained tannins carrying a long, minerally edged finish. All in harmony 💃🏻🕺 — a month ago
A vivid, fresh medium body Southern Rhone. Likely because they fermented half the blend in stainless steel it created a clean, balanced wine with nice darker, warmer layers of fruit. Not sure what the blend is but likely Grenache was ruling. — 2 days ago
Well crafted Merlot, Malbec driven Bordeaux blend. Super spicy with the Malbec and Cab Franc. Short but nice clean finish. — 23 days ago
Expressive Bordeaux blend from …. Valle de Guadeloupe! Brought it home when we were traveling there. They are making great wines in Baja California region but interestingly very difficult, if not impossible to get in the US. Paralelo 31 was recommended by several. They are part of a larger project. No dedicated tasting room. Lot of upfront dark earthy expressive fruit. A bit tart on the finish. — a month ago
Yum! All I can say. Delicious premier cru from my favorite region in Burgundy. Earthy, mineral, super balanced. Ever lasting finish. Yep, got to drink those wines once in a while. Feel so blessed that I can. 🙏🙏 — 2 months ago
Delectable doesn’t recognize the label correctly. This is the 2018 Morey-Saint-Denis 1st Cru Les Chaffots.
Just had to have this tonight as I couldn’t let Peter drink his premier cru by himself. Not sure if he was picky or had the wrong year, but this one was incredible. And hate to say it because I don’t like paying so much money for it. But ahhh it was awesome. You know it when you fight your wife for the last sip! Strong earthy undernotes but so vibrant, such bright layers of red fruit. Yum! 😋 — 4 days ago
Our most favorite Pinot when we traveled Yara Valley last November. Intense vibrancy, fresh raspberry infused with cherry and carried by spice earth. All in perfect harmony. Love it!! — 25 days ago
This was my second Pinot Noir from Jack Winery in Napa Valley. Their winery and tasting room is towards the top of Altas Peak. However, they are getting their Pinot grapes somewhere in Sonoma, I believe, closer to the ocean. The 2019 blew my top. The 2021 brought me back down to earth with a smack. Nothing special and certainly not for the price. Not sure if they received the grapes from a different vineyard or if there were striking difference between the two years. The 21 version had little character. Just light to medium bodied red fruit with little else going on. — a month ago

Very nice, high quality wine but I can just not get over these vegetative green notes (methoxypyrazines) from the predominant Carmenere grape in this blend. Just reminds me of green peas or agave. So that ruined it a bit for me. But my wife, Tammy, really liked it. We will be going to Chile this fall to look up some of these awesome wineries.
