Domaine de la Piégonne Ventoux. Cool label. Stars and a bird. Blue. Good dark plum color. Aroma is dense with a hibiscus and rosehip thing in it. Flavors are delicious mix of fruit (dark berries and black cherries) and rocks. Flowing river rock from high up in the Sierras. Classy stuff. Has a Rhone style, but with a bit more finesse and softness. I wonder what Counoise brings to the mix at 23% of the blend with Syrah and Grenache. This is a nice bottle of lovely wine for a pretty lovely price point. — 2 days ago

Very catchy, very cheap bottle at Trader Josue’s. Screw-top tho. Color is on the lighter side of tinto. Smells like fruit punch or cranberry cocktail mixed with wine. Flavors are more fruit punch. With the fake oak vanilla layer on the top. This is plonk in a pretty bottle. — 5 days ago

Goofy label. Nice color. Some spice in the nose. Berries too. Juicy flavor. Some acidity. Not extra tho. And some complexity there too. Decent CA Pinot. — 8 days ago

Amazing wine. Complete, complex and strange. Interesting, intriguing, and elegant. Fine wine at its best. Sad that my last bottle has been drunk. It’s damn good. — 3 days ago

Lovely purple edge to the ruby red color. Hint of rust. Smells good. If a bit funky. Hint of B.O. Little nail polish maybe. Flavors are heavy on elderberry. Unsweetened elderberry. Very dry and very French. Not extra. Just kinda straight forward. — 3 days ago

This is a pretty aged white… Showing its age with a dark yellow almost orange tint. Smells like volatile compounds from the lab and a hint of sweet lemon stuff. (My friend Margot said Dewberry soap from The Body Shop). Flavors are oxidized and a tad funky. Butterscotch meets limoncello. I read apricots. Yes over-ripe apricots. It may have been better younger. Now it kinda reminds me of some cheap CA Chardonnay. Or old white wine past its prime. — 7 days ago

Had this a couple weekends ago. It’s not too bad. Just kinda boring with a fruit forward style that’s a bit thinner. — 6 days ago

$10 bottle. Nice butterflies on the label. Nice deep red/maroon color. Smells of medicine and wild berries. Flavors are floral with plenty of hibiscus tea and bright red fruits. Tart and smokey. This is a lovely red blend. Simple on the face, but interesting underneath. — 9 days ago
