Concerned upfront from the alcohol smell, but the plums, dark berries and slight tobacco mellowed while open. Even better on day 2. Started with low expectations but was quite pleased and would drink again. — 5 days ago

I liked the uncharacteristic subtle sweetness from plum and dark fruits. Add a touch of leather and vanilla, soft tannins, and this one was smooth. Good stuff! — 4 months ago

Fairly smooth CA Pinot Noir with a little smoke, leather, and berry. Still prefer Willamette PNs but would drink this again. Improved after getting some air. — 4 months ago

Dark fruits and plum with a little oak. Slight tang with fruit upfront but softened nicely with air over a day or 2. Really smoothed out with rich flavor and soft tannins. — 7 days ago

Medium bodied with lots of dark berries, cherries, and oaky vanilla. . Sometimes picked up a little more tannin than I like on the finish, but definitely want to spend more time with Portuguese wines. — 2 months ago

Dark berries, plum, and a touch of leather abound in this Napa Cab. Lots of fruit with lighter tannins made this quite compatible with many foods. — 4 months ago

Not too familiar with French Malbecs but would come back to this one. Tannins smoothed after several hours/next day yet fairly high acidity with tart cherries, berries and plums. Maybe a little cocoa oak and leather too. Good stuff accompanying food. — a month ago

Medium bodied fruity red paired well with pasta/tomato sauce. Time to try more Nero d’avolas. — 4 months ago

Loved the great Costco price but below expectations given the wine enthusiast rating. Need to try other Portuguese vinho tinto wines to get more perspective. — 4 months ago

What’s Durif? Loved the combo with Australian Shiraz. Red and blackberry and cherry with a touch of oak and smoke. This was quite the fruit bomb with mild tannins and medium body. Please sir. . . I want some more. — 5 months ago
