Yadkin Valley Merlot 2017

9.1

This is a small town beauty pageant winner - rural North Carolina channeling the Right Bank... gorgeous brooding ripe almost stewed plum, blackberry & boysenberry mingled with dusty edges, spices, savory and a wild savage forestry-herbaceousness. Medium bodied w/firm tannins backbone - an absolute pleasure that absolutely over-delivers @ $17. .1 bump for locale & price point — 5 years ago

Bodegas LAN

Lan a Mano Edición Limitada Rioja Tempranillo 2011

La quinta esencia de la Rioja moderna. Potente, afrutado, largo, equilibrado. Una belleza de etiqueta, pero una botella excesivamente gruesa y pesada que aporta nada al contenido — 7 years ago

Pouilly-Fumé Sauvignon Blanc 2016

9.0

Picture yourself in rural France stopping for lunch at a small family owned bistro on a hot and dusty rural road. You park your rental Peugeot go in and order a Sauvignon Blanc to pair with your light fish or veal lunch. This is the type of wine you could enjoy. A wine that comes from a small vineyard under the radar of most, inexpensive and one that will surely refresh. Straw colored, green apple aroma, a light smack of citrus lime on the tip of your tongue and the roof of your mouth followed by a smooth almost peach fuzz and light fruit finish. 12.5 Alc/vol — 8 years ago

Auslese Riesling 2017

By the glass. Barb said aromas of Fairy Floss. (Aussies who have been to rural Agricultural Shows will be familiar with Fairy Floss - a sugary whipped confection). Also a note of Lemon and petrol, but oh so young - yet to display its potential. One of the least sweet Ausleses I have ever had. Great refreshment and lively acid. — 7 years ago

Chinon Cabernet Franc Rosé 2023

Orange blossom half and half sipped out of a cantaloupe soaked in the Atlantic. Also those orange circus peanut candies you find at rural gas stations. I know this note sounds terrible but it’s just because I’m a poor writer, the wine is actually quite good as per usual. — 2 years ago

Kalimera Ischia Biancolella 2017

20-30 year old vines planted to a rural, ancient vineyard. Original winery may date back almost 3,000 years. Intense orchard fruits interlaced with plump acids. — 7 years ago

Château Bouscassé (Alain Brumont)

Vieilles Vignes Madiran Tannat

Dark and dense, but with a fresh line and earthy/bloody component nestled in the dark fruit and balanced oak. The flavor is of course driven by its lip smacking tannins, yet with a good fruit coverage which made them more approachable than expected. Modern winemaking in this rural outpost is the recipe for success. Nice performance — 8 years ago
