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
Okay Nebbiolo. Not much going on. Subtle and deep red fruit and not much finish. Disappointing. — 5 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. — 10 days ago
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
Burgundian-style Pinot Noir from Willamette. Elegant cherry flavor and an earthy finish. An amazing value at $25.50. — 10 days ago
Good Cabernet Sauvignon with strong red fruit flavor but not much else. Well made but not memorable. — 17 days ago
Nice Pinot Noir. Very standard Sonoma Pinot. Not interesting but properly made. Good cherry flavor and good finish. Excellent under $30 value. — 19 days ago

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