9.1

This is really nice for the cold snap we're experiencing today.
Warm and full of holiday flavors. Spiced fruit, balsamic, dried herbs, plenty of leathery tannins. An inexpensive Rioja that would please at Thanksgiving. Give it an hour to open up.

Such a deep purple. The cork stained the heck out of my hand.
Delicious dark fruit and meaty. Structured to lay down for several years.

@Dave, I’m good, was in New Orleans for a week and came home with a cold/flu I’m still fighting. Otherwise, fine. How are you?

That's not fun! Although, Big Easy sounds kinda cool. I'm good. Trying to adjust to the time change. It's 10pm at 5pm.

I saw Steve Earle live 2 months ago. He is playing with The Waterboys on their Fisherman tour. He also sang some of his own songs 🤩

Wowowee! This is very good for the price.
Cocoa and herbs under the dark fruity nose. A mouthful of dark cherries, plum, cedar, and crushed stone. Made to age for some time.

This is an oddball. It's got some nice fruit, light body, kind of like an American PN, but there's something awkward on the back end. It's like Fruit Stripe chewing gum or... I don't know. It's fine, I'm not sure what food this would complement.

Townes was a one-of-a-kind genius. And so troubled. 🥀

I bought this cheap to sauté some shrimp. It's not a typical PG. Softer edges, predominantly pear and lemon flavors. Green apple on the finish. It's good, just not as crisp as I had hoped.

Funny little package. No age statement on the bottle.
Dark cherry and plum, a bit of spice and tobacco. Jammy. I would have bet the farm this was Lodi Zin.

I bought this cheap to splash into some braised short rib. Of course, I'll have more than the beef will.
It's good. Dusty and plenty of garrigue. Will pair well with the short rib if I can wait that long.

9.0

Unpopular opinion: I like this. I liked it 10 years ago, then I didn't like it when they sold, and now I like it again. Really pleasant raspberry, strawberry, slightly floral, and zero oak. Before they sold it was $16 now it's $23.
And I've just about had it with Delectable
