Dove Hunt Dog Pinot Noir Rosé 2021

This wine is a very pretty, light salmon color in the glass. Aromas of cherries, strawberries and Meyer lemon leap up on the sniff. It is a fruity nose, and there is a mineral aspect with some salinity, too. On the palate the Grenache shines, ripe as hell. Some raspberry notes come through along with the aforementioned bright red fruit. Acidity is crisp and fresh and the finish lingers quite a while. It's a pretty good wine, especially considering the critter label. — 2 years ago

Cuvée DD Sonoma County Pinot Noir 1993

Initially it l tasted like it was at its peak. Then had with garlic and butter seared scallops and it came alive. Richness and density dove in from it's soul...

Caramel goat cheese, baby raspberry, hibiscus tea, lemon curd.

Still a wonderful brightness.

Reserve James Gang Paso Robles Cabernet Franc 2013

A very easy drinking Cab Franc. It happened to pair perfectly with the dove/jalapeño poppers we made. — 5 years ago

Whispering Dove

Oakville Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Deep dark plum in the glass. Basically impenetrable. A touch of bricking on the thin edges. On the nose, the fruit is barely clinging on but still present. Plums and blueberries are the dominant notes here. A heavy dose of toasted cedar and green bell peppers. There’s faint floral aromas of violets along with a shock of burnt tobacco.

This is about as Napa as Napa gets. I was quite worried about how this Cab would present but it’s still alive and kicking. The end may be nigh but not quite nigh enough. Pleasant acid and well integrated tannins. Big and rich as you would expect an Oakville Cab to be but still smooth after hours of decanting. Plenty of chocolate with a dash of vanilla. The fruit on the tongue is diminished and subtle but still showing pretty well. Cherry pie and blueberry cobbler. The finish is medium length with just a touch of soft spice. This was so much fun and a great experience. Definitely mature and knocking on the door of almost gone but still good, nonetheless.

Dove Hunt Dog Potter Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Won this wine in a wine pull! Went really went with Greek marinated grilled chicken, grilled lemons, wild rice and cucumber salad. Balanced, lemony, lemon grass, not fizzy, touch of pepper and herbs- foods with lemon or herbs and this is a good choice!! — 4 years ago

Bodegas Sauci

S' Condado de Huelva Naranja

Paired nicely, contrasting flavors vs. Dove dark chocolate; plenty of sweetness and orange peel flavor. (Nice product). Also works almost as well vs 72% Ghirardelli — 6 years ago

Wm. Harrison Vineyards & Winery (William Harrison)

Napa Valley Cabernet Franc 2016

William Harrison cabernet franc 2016. Their best cab by far!!!!! I am so happy to have discovered this small family winery. The bouquet is lovely with aromas of dark berry pie. The initial palate brings an immediate flourish of blackberry jam and rhubarb. This is followed by a rush of leather, mineral soil, moss, and oak. The finish then comes dragging in with a beautiful chocolate and spicy finish. This will be perfect with a nice square of Dove dark chocolate. Hang on… Oh yes!!!!! A perfect compliment. It takes a little finesse to make a very good cab Franc and this Family has done an incredible job of it. Im ordering 6 more bottles right now! — 3 years ago

$233.33 from the vineyard, maybe dove in a bit too soon. Also, had a total shit day that could be clouding my judgement. — 5 years ago

Quady Winery

Red Electra Black Muscat 2017

At dark chocolate pairing and tasting. Brings out honey and stone fruit flavors when paired with Dove dark chocolate. Similar but more restrained pairing with Ghirardelli 72%. Same but more bitter with Scharffenburger 82% — 6 years ago
