Trying it again. Cool label. Cool place. Dark as night. Smells like blackberries and molasses. Earthy too. Flavors are robust and chewy. Smoked meats. Plenty of cassis. This is great Cab and a great deal at grocery outlet. — 8 days ago
Having this again. Merlot from right next to the Tri-Cities, WA. Red of blood and bruised plums. Strange aroma of leather, sagebrush of WA, cherry pits, and petrichor. Flavors are elegant and sensual. Berry-cherry layer with wet river rocks and some smokey meats on the backside. This is well done, low priced Merlot from a great place for the stuff, south central WA! — 16 days ago
Fancy stuff for the World Cup. Maybe the best champagne I’ve had. Smells toasty and slightly bread like. Flavors are citrus and saline. Bright and delicate. Lovely. — a day ago
Meh label. What happened to the wheelbarrow? It’s got good color. Red and ruby. Smells slightly funky. Cedar and herbs. Flavors are ripe and smokey. Fleshy. Little ham. Plenty of woodsy stuff. Sarsaparilla. Hint of sweetness or jamminess. Tannic. Has a lovely complexity for CA AVA Zin. — 8 days ago
Arty critter style label. Nice golden, silvery color. Aroma of citrus skins and honey. But very faint. Flavors are nice. Tart limey thing. Fleshy like a lychee. This is a Vinho Verde with a bit of oomph and character. — 16 days ago
Still a nice bottle of unique white. — 6 days ago
This is a workable CA style Pinot Noir. Good color and decent aroma. Tastes pretty good. Well made for a cheapie. ($4 at G.O.). An everyday winner. — 8 days ago
This one is ‘Paso Robles’. Cab. Maybe they changed locations for the ‘Reserve’. Boring label. Color is lighter for Cab. Aroma is floral and complex. Spicy and woodsy. Flavors are subtle and silky. Tart. This is a bit short of such a fancy, big heavy bottle. — 8 days ago
Very basic label. I half assume this is the same wine that’s in the bottle I had called ‘Periodic’. They look very similar. This is 14.5% ABV CA AVA Pinot. Smells like wet earth and cherry Coke. Flavors are decent. Fruit forward for sure. Has some acids and is plenty juicy. Overall it’s just a workable CA cheap Pinot. — 18 days ago
