Gnarly Head

1924 Limited Edition Double Black Lodi Red Blend

Excellent wine for the price. Almost has a sutle Merlot taste but without the oaky finish. — a month ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

High Mountain Vines Chardonnay 2022

A very expressive, a bit more intense Chardonnay, a great representation of high elevated vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina with compelling complexity. Has a great mouthfeel, with more weight and beautiful finish. Love it with shrimp scampi or any chunky grilled fish. — 3 months ago

California Pinot Noir 2021

Better than 2020. Very fruity: a cherry, raspberry. Rather light & smooth. — a month ago

Yangarra Estate

High Sands McLaren Vale Grenache 2016

A highly awarded Grenache from Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, possibly the best terroir for the varietal in Australia. Its gnarly old bush vines were planted in 1946. It is dry farmed on a 1.7 hectare block sitting on the deepest sand with the lowest vigour and yield. Not as raspberry as many Australian Grenache - more balanced, restrained and excellent. Wine of the Year at the 2020 Halliday Wine Awards receiving 99 points. On the medium weight palate red berries and cherry finishing with ultra fine tannins. Jancis made the comment, “Might give the odd cult Spanish wine a run for its money too.” — 3 months ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

Выпито 22.12.24 в прекрасном аргентинском стекхаусе El Gaucho. Как всегда - достойнейший малььек 2020 года. !🍷 — a month ago

Albe Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Garnet-colored. Hits like it might be astringent but immediately smooths out and rolls across your tongue leaving a layer of tannins that diffuses nicely. If you swish it around, it will make you pucker. Very dry but buttery if you keep it centered in your mouth. I bought it because of an average rating of 9.3 for this 2020 vintage but I don’t think I’d rank it that high. Maybe a 9.0, a little disappointing for $50. — a month ago

Bodega Catena Zapata

High Mountain Vines Mendoza Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

It worked great with the Brazilian barbecue. Punches well above its weight. Good stuff. And the restaurant has a deal on south american wines on Mondays and Tuesdays. — 4 months ago
