Cantina Massara

Verduno Pelaverga 2022

This wine is PALE ruby with medium (+) intensity of red fruit (especially after a short decant) such as fresh wild strawberries, pomegranate, stewed strawberry rhubarb, redcurrant, red and black cherry compote, next to iris, lilac, black licorice, fennel fronds, anise seed, white pepper, and crushed wet stone notes. It’s a lovely compilation of fruit, floral, herb, spice, and mineral qualities.

But don’t let the pale hue fool you, this wine is no shrinking violet when it comes to structure; it’s dry with high alcohol (14% ABV), medium, fine-grained tannins, a medium body, and vibrant acidity, making it incredibly versatile as a culinary complement.

Conundrum Proprietary California Red Blend 2012

Wow. Wonderful compilation of flavors. Definitely reflects it's name. A hint of sweetness, bolt fruit, and hints of oak and earth. One out of the ball park for the price. — 10 years ago

Domaine Bernard Defaix

Bougros Chablis Grand Cru Chardonnay 2010

Fresh! Intense, powerful, and dense compilation of flavors explode on the long lasting finish. Green grapes, lemon, and grapefruit take the lead on what becomes an unfolding drama of complex but balanced taste. A delightful and unique experience. — 10 years ago

Domaine François Carillon

Les Macherelles Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2019

Young, but accessible. Gun flint nose is instantly seductive descending like smoke onto brioche and twists of impossibly minute lemon peel, lime and tangerine piths, underripe pineapple freshness, Marcona almond, toasted sesame, chalky chunks have absorbed the smoke, and fallen citrus celebrates its rebirth. Lemon pith that oozes lemon skin oils like dewdrop diamonds. Incredible minerality that crystallizes into spines of grapefruit, dandelion, dried gooseberry, and marigold. Shiny, bright, crystal clean, and revelatory. Amazing compilation of parts that remains suspended like a chandelier in ethereal weightlessness.

Fortis Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

Brian McMahon
8.9

Through dense plantings, meticulous pruning and canopy management, and careful hand-harvesting at night, each 25 pound bin of fruit arrives at the winery in pristine condition. The appellation compilation of Fortis will vary year-to-year according to each region􏰀s performance throughout the vintage. Fruit for the 2005 Fortis is a selection of 52% Stags Leap District, 28% Oakville, 11% Rutherford and 9% Carneros. HARVEST and WINEMAKING The 2005 vintage was a long, slow wait as cool temperatures prevailed from budbreak to September. Luckily, the last few months were sunny and warm through November when picking finally got underway. This wine was sorted with an intensive process of cluster selection, then berry selection before crushing. After malolactic, the wines were transferred to French oak barrels — 10 years ago

Le Clairet The Perfect Red Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Big bold nose of spicy raspberry and ripe red fruits, and a deep ruby red color. The flavor is equally peppery and zingy, but dry, with bold plum and ripe red fruits, with a finish of cracked pepper and a long, lingering finish. Sick compilation. — 4 years ago

Proprietor Blended Special Cuvée Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Never had this before.... I must say its a compilation of flavor ... Normally when bing cherry is first on the nose it tends to be a lighter wine but this is a great full cab with smells like fresh juiced cherries but dark on the pour with a wonderful Berry/ raspberry/ cherry flavor combined with anise and Clove that's so wonderful what a creation of wine love! — 10 years ago

Is that a giant wine glass or a small punch bowl you use for drinking?
