This is a Pinot Noir from the Santa Ynez Valley of CA. Not sure about the name, but it’s a critter label of sorts I guess. Nice color. Hint darker than some Pinot. Smells like fruit pastry (cherry-black/blue berry) and incense. Flavors are floral. Rosewater and rose geraniums. Plenty of fruit. Cherry fruit. And some anise or fennel seeds too. Nice southern CA coastal Pinot. — 2 days ago

Cool abstract art label. Heavy bottle. Dark ink well color. Ripe nose hints of leather with the jammy dark berry fruits. Flavors are smooth and fairly balanced. Integrated even. Hint of too much oak, but the fruit and licorice flavors come through to save this. — 15 days ago

Label is boring, but on brand for hipster wines. Smells like balsamic vinegar. Tastes worse. This is bad stuff. — 18 days ago

Smells a tiny bit like tamari. Plus fruits. Baked fruits. Flavors have faded a tad, but it’s still a classic and classy Merlot. Zippy with plenty of tannin. Lots of old book vibes. Hint of rye bourbon. This is a nice bottle of hot climate CA red wine. — 4 days ago

This is a very straight forward and fine enough Rosé. More salmon berry, boring apricots and cranberry mineral water than zippy strawberry and raspberry scone. It’s fine. Not great just fine. — 15 days ago

8.7

Basic label. Color of oat straw tea. Smells like lime peels and crushed seashell fossils. Maybe also hint of artemisia. Flavors are very dry, very mineral and quite acidic. There is almost no sweetness here. Lots of grapefruit pith. Hint of lemongrass teas. Strongly steeped and unsweetened teas. It’s a classic Marlborough NZ SB. — 18 days ago

Critter label (well an antique truck that looks critter like). Good color. Hint of old books and attics with the juice (blackberry-cherry) on the nose. Flavors are ok. Bit of cola and lots of juicy berry-cherry stuff. It’s a hint vanilla cola from oaking as well. It’s a smooth dunker. Pairs with pasta and eggplant a-ok. — 11 days ago

The label says ‘red wine’, but this is a blend. Dark color. Dark as night. Smells like fruit jam of dark berries. Flavors a smooth and jammy. A very easy red. Ripe. Not too crunchy. It’s a party pleaser type. — 14 days ago

8.8

This is called ‘Summit Winds’. 50% Zin, 22% Cab Franc, 17 % Malbec, 11% Merlot. Dark. Smells like berries preserved and herbal tonics. Flavors are dense and fruit forward. Rich. But decent balance and a nice approachable flavor. Bit of bitter cherry pits on the backside. — a month ago
