Old Vine Zin Lodi Zinfandel 2014
It's too sweet for a Zin, if you ask me, even after breathing for half an hour. Even worse, it's all one note. It lacks the dryness and layers I typically expect in a Zin. — 8 years ago
Turley
Fredericks Vineyard Zinfandel 2013
Strong cherry notes. Yes, the alcohol is a bit high, but I don't personally see that as a bad thing. Great with fried green tomatoes! — 9 years ago
Roots Run Deep Winery
Educated Guess Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Oaky/hickory tones. Citrus notes when swirling around in mouth, and a dry, slightly acidic finish. — 8 years ago
Papapietro Perry
Elsbree Vineyard Zinfandel 2009
Drank in 2016, aged into a very mellow Zinfandel. Delicately tart and delightfully dry, but doesn't overreach. Complex fruit flavors stay central on the tongue. — 9 years ago
Snowden
Lost Vineyard Merlot 2013
Heavy up front, but not too fruity. Nice mellow finish that lingers. — 9 years ago
The Hess Collection
Monterey Chardonnay 2014
Smooth and light on the tongue with subtle citrus notes. Not as buttery as we like. — 8 years ago
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin
Yellow Label Brut Champagne Blend

Chronic Cellars
Purple Paradise Paso Robles Zinfandel Blend 2013
Subtle fruit up front, then hits with super tart notes before finishing mildly dry. — 9 years ago
Château Mouton Rothschild
Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1988
For Will's seminary graduation! Soft and very grape-y. A good taste and easy mouthfeel. — 9 years ago
