Butternut
California Chardonnay 2005
If you're into the thick, buttery, oaky chard, this is for you. It's good. Price point is decent. Well balanced. — 7 years ago
Witching Hour
California Red Blend 2015
Wow. Very good blend. It doesn't say on the bottle but from the taste and location I'll guess Cabernet, Merlot, And Zin?
Heavy blueberry and cherry on the palate to begin...Very vanilla heavy on the nose. Great wine, and great for the price. — 8 years ago
Capeside Cellars
Cuvée Rouge California Red Blend 2014
Very vanilla heavy with ripe berry. Got it on sale for $6.99 but wouldn’t pay full price for it again. — 7 years ago
Santa Rita
Secret Reserve Maipo Red Blend 2015
Not sure what I’m missing? Very, very thin. A little bit of oak, both on nose and palate. Tiny bit of currant which disappeared the second it hit my tongue, along with the rest of the taste of the wine. Really not into this at all. — 7 years ago
Sterling Vineyards
Vintner's Collection California Meritage Blend
Pleasantly surprised. Plum, some cedar, oak, and tannins make for a wonderful balanced medium to full bodied red blend. — 8 years ago

Old Vine Mendoza Malbec 2014
Pepper. Lava rock. Some vanilla, and almost cedar or tobacco/aged cigar. Possibly dried fruit like currant or plum thrown in there. Wonderfully complex. — 8 years ago
Josh Cellars
Family Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Very plum on the nose. On the palate I get lots and lots of berry. Maybe a tad of leather midway through, with plum and a bit of (vanilla maybe?) on the aftertaste. Not tannic whatsoever. A good wine. But not worth the price or too dissimilar from the regular label Josh Cab. Edit: I’ve allowed it to open up a little and I’m getting wonderful pepper notes. Vastly improved from first corkage. — 7 years ago
Locatour
California Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Decent. Bit of a leathery nose upon first corking. This gives way to chocolate nose, and also immediately on the palate. This rounds out to berry, plum on the back of the tongue. Definitely doesn't linger around long. Thin. — 7 years ago
Robbie Roemer
Good oak, great tannins...Paul Hobbs hit this Malbec out of the park. Price point is wonderful for the quality. Highly recommended. — 7 years ago
