Orin Swift

Mannequin California Chardonnay

15.2%. Bold but complex. Oaky but crisp. I liked it very much. Powerful but well balanced in that direction. Would like to come back for more. — 7 days ago

Orin Swift

Palermo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Dark Ruby color with aromas of ripe berry fruits, herbs and cigar spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with vanilla, oak, tobacco and earthy notes. Well balanced, fine tannins long finish ending with fruit, espresso and tobacco notes and sweet spice! Nice now, will age a bit. — a month ago

Black Stallion Estate Winery

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Very good. Lots of black fruit aromas (a plum, blackberry & black currant), an oak & a vanilla, so I”m a little disappointed. — 24 days ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

Drinking well showing black fruits, graphite, leather, wet earth, savory spice & sweet tobacco. No rush with plenty of years ahead — 12 hours ago

8 Years in the Desert Zinfandel Blend

Gifted by my partner’s sister as a sweet & thoughtful surprise for our 6 month anniversary ♡ We are new to wine but have been spending our past few date nights just at home watching movies with an inexpensive bottle she recommended from our local grocery store (which we enjoy so much!). And to celebrate our anniversary, we did the exact same thing— except this time, with a bottle carefully chosen by a loved one from her own personal collection, who is THE wine lover!! Rudy & I both loved the taste of this one so much. I think it’s a great start for those like us who are getting into wine and have no idea about anything and just want something tasty, because now we know we like zinfandel blends! I’m not there yet with describing the taste of wine but I do really like the complexity of blends now and thought this tasted very clean and yummy (っ˘ڡ˘ς) Thank you Aimee!! Note: we also did homework on how the name originated! Very cool to know how the person who made this sold his popular zin blend & had to sign a clause that wouldn’t allow him to make anymore zin blends for 8 years- hence the 8 years in the desert :0 — 21 days ago

Machete Petite Sirah Blend 2018

Great, super-drinkable meritage. Holds on to the rich character of the petite sirah, but nicely balanced with the grenache for a more versatile wine. — a month ago

Trader Moon

Moon X Black Pinot Noir

paired this with a pot roast, a christmas movie, a new vacuum cleaner, and a fluffy robe - it was lovely. it’s a little on the sweeter side for a pinot but still has the dry punch on the back end. label could have some more interest but overall it’s a solid wine, would probably buy again — a month ago
