Not sure I’m detecting a difference from the santo stefano - these are stellar — 9 days ago

I love a power rose and this rioja from Horseneck delivers. Dark color, almost red; fresh raspberries/strawberries, I didn’t check but probably above average ABV - excellent — 19 days ago

This might be OTH at this point - nose is great, full of fruit, but the palate comes up short and a bit wooden. I think this is part of the batch that froze in the garage at Verona - might have something to do with it — 3 months ago

Brought this to date night at La Crem; excellent G-C, nose is superb, palate is restrained rather than explosive; started to seem a bit wooden later in the opening. Paired best with the Dover sole course — 13 days ago

Excellent Beauj from WB, aged just right, more structured than some others, no sparkle or acidity — 2 months ago

Stellar barbaresco, I think the best I’ve ever tried - sort of a funky/barnyard nose but the tannins are much softened - probably the age — 9 days ago

This is the Anderson Valley - love these Keyes Pinots - this one is better than the Ellenbach- no sparkle at all, austere blackberries, perfect aging, more refined than jammy — 2 months ago

This is Aeris, not the Gen Z lingerie store….either way, don’t love this - wooden nose, continues on the palate, initial sparkle faded with air but doesn’t overcome the earthiness implied by the smorgasbord of Italian varietals that make up the blend — 3 months ago
