Tastes like a $25 Bordeaux but costs $61. Listless and asleep Bordeaux. — 5 days ago

Decant and wait a long time before drinking. Once it breathes it reveals a bitter wine with licorice almost like an Amarone. Interesting style of Cabernet Sauvignon and good with steak or other meaty or chocolate flavors. Good value under $60. — 14 days ago

Acceptable Cabernet Sauvignon. Tight and asleep. Too strong and characterless. Overpriced even at $60. — 19 days ago

Oaky California-style Chardonnay.
Very enjoyable. A great example of this style of Chardonnay. Some may find it too oaky but I enjoyed its vanilla and butter with my Stilton.

Another elegant Pinot Noir from Small Vines. Not as good as the 2017 but still a very smooth wine with excellent cherry flavor. — 17 days ago
