8.7

Boring label. Looks pretty in the glass. Rubies like the kind in a cave in a fantasy movie. Smells like earth, warm/hot redwood wood chips, and cherry soda. Hint of fresh house paint and masking tape too. Flavors are clean and pleasing. Hint of cola with the bright dark colored summer fruits. Hint earthy. But lots of cola. Like the flavor of Coke without any sugar. It’s a big style, enjoyable ‘hotter’ climate Pinot. — a day ago

8.1

Weighty bottle for a cheap wine. Boring label. Color is decent if a bit dark for classic Pinot. Smells like matches and cooked berry pies. Tastes ok. Bit of earth. Pretty smooth. Simple. Hint of oak on the finish. This is more 2.5 stars than 4, but it’s alright. — 9 days ago

Label is a bit busy, but a couple photos of who the tribute is dedicated is cool. This has Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot in it too. Smells like wood shops and wet maple leaves. Hint of berry too. Flavors are dense and deep. Plenty of plum and a nice cassis component. Little licorice and some leather in there. This is an excellent red blend. Would work with grilled meat dishes. Also great with tomato dishes. — 14 days ago

8.8

Silly label. Bottle is massive. Aroma is old books, smoke of wet brush, and berry compote. Flavors are smooth and concentrated. Zin flavors for sure. Jammy, ripe and big. Still. 12 years on. Hints of brandy with the 15.9% abv. This is an interesting bottle. A bit much, but still pretty on brand for the Lodi style of Old Vine Zin. — a day ago

Label is kinda cool. Deep red-maroon color. Aroma isn’t very fruity. Soapstone and herbs. Flavors are savory and chewy. Hint of berries. Little bitter. This is a nice little Temp from La Tierra de Castilla. — 3 days ago

8.8

Low enviro impact aluminum bottle. Color is ruby red. Darker than some CA Pinot. Smells like rain and fresh pressed cherry juice. Hint of wet green bushes. Flavors are juicy and full. Bit of zing in finish. Red Zinger tea and raspberry sauce. A bit strange for a Pinot Noir, but it’s enjoyable and the bottle/can would be quite a talking point. — 14 days ago

Decent boring label. Dark color. Smells meaty and a hint savory. Herbs and rocks too. Flavors are juicy and dry with a streak of lovely minerality. This is a great Spanish red. Complex, but crowd pleasing. Hint of earth and plenty of berry-liciousness. — 2 days ago

Pretty standard color and aromas. The flavor is cheap CA Cab. Vanilla over-oaked, jammy plonk. I’d definitely go with the Pinot Noir if buying any Castle Rock reds. The Cab ain’t great. — 2 days ago

9.0

The OZ classic blend of Shiraz and Cab. 60/40. Dark plum skin color. Aromas are enjoyable with a bit of wet gravel, flint and red/black fruits. Wood oil on the end. Flavors are complex and big. Plums, figs and black colored berries/cherries. Bit of menthol (or is that eucalyptus?). This is a classic, well made Australia red. Full and enjoyable, but not fruit bombed or too much of anything. — 14 days ago

This is a Pinot Noir from the Santa Ynez Valley of CA. Not sure about the name, but it’s a critter label of sorts I guess. Nice color. Hint darker than some Pinot. Smells like fruit pastry (cherry-black/blue berry) and incense. Flavors are floral. Rosewater and rose geraniums. Plenty of fruit. Cherry fruit. And some anise or fennel seeds too. Nice southern CA coastal Pinot. — 21 days ago
