Rich Merlot tasting like a right-bank Bordeaux. A deep, brooding, earthy Merlot. Very good and an excellent value at $30. — 9 days ago
Lovely Cote Rotie even if unremarkable. Some good dark fruit followed by a spicy finish. Correct but nothing special. — 14 days ago
Very dense and heavy, slightly sweet Cabernet Sauvignon. Likely too young to open now. It improved significantly with air. Well-made but one-dimensional now. A lot of power but not much else. — 5 days ago
Some nice Petite Sirah flavor to start by quickly overwhelmed by alcohol. Unpleasant. — 9 days ago
Light-bodied wine to be chilled and enjoyed with fruit or cheese or pre-dinner. Cranberry and pepper. Very nice for this style of wine, and neat to try a new grape. — 11 days ago
Leave out at least one hour before consuming. Deep, intense, brooding Malbec consisting of dark plum and prune. Best consumed with steak. — 16 days ago
Jammy and fruity whole-cluster Grenache with a neat carbonic punch in the finish. A lovely wine that was perfect with mozzarella with balsamic vinegar. — 6 days ago
Lovely California-style Pinot Noir with good cherry and a carbonic flavor. Really good light wine perfect with my tacos. A good choice at $30. — 8 days ago
Disappointing $80 Shiraz. Likely way too young to open now. Maybe if left open overnight it would improve but i didn’t have time for that. Just thin with high alcohol now. Some nice pepper in the finish but not much fruit up front. — 12 days ago

Very strong Aglianico. I would give this wine another five years. Better after an hour. This is a very acidic wine. Some nice deep, dark fruit and earth followed by intense acid. — 2 days ago
