Valle dell'Acate
Tenuta Ibidini Nero d'Avola 2016
Great value. Simple. Straight forward. Good balance between fruit and earth. #nerodavola #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
Domain Normand (Sylvaine & Alain Normand)
Mâcon Chardonnay 2016
Well ripened yellow fruit and flowers on nose showing decent depth. Palate was rounded out and balanced with a sharp backbone of acidity. The fruit was sweet and showed good complexity. Quite tense. Needs a little more time to relax and fully come together. #macon #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
L'Ecole No. 41
Columbia Valley Merlot 2014
Heading towards old world characteristics with more restraint and structure. Well made. Fruit undefined but just ripened at moment. Fine finish. #merlot #lecole #washington #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
Dunham Cellars
Three Legged Red Red Blend 2015
Fruity black and red fruit with a touch of smoke on nose. Medium- complexity. Palate was full with good grip. Mid palate was hollow. Short finish. #dunhamcellars #ctbucklinwine #washington — 6 years ago
Domaine Michel Cheveau
"En Chatenay" Beaujolais-Villages Gamay 2015
A serious and well made #beaujolaisvillages Spicy and dense nose with good intensity. The red and black fruit on the palate was taught and well defined lacking any “fruityness”. Great character. Well balanced with a fine structure. Good length. Fun with character. #domainecheveau #gamay #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
Casasmith
Northridge Vineyard Cervo Barbera 2015
Overly sweet red fruit on nose. Almost frosting. Palate is dry and doesn’t make sense with awkward fruity and medicinal notes. Short finish. #casasmith #barbera #washington #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
Double Canyon
Horse Heaven Hills Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Black fruit and Smokey meat dominated nose. Medium intensity and little complexity. Sweet and ripe palate. Tasty and straightforward. Loose structure. Hot finish. #horseheavenhills #cabernetsauvignon #doublecanyon #washingtonstate #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
Valle dell'Acate
Vittoria Frappato 2016
Fun wine. Notes of Campari, burnt orange, spice, red fruit, flowers on the nose. The palate was lean but lively. Balanced structure but lacked fruit in mid palate. Fine finish. Good food wine. #frappato #sicily #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
Vignobles Thévenet & Fils
Mâcon-Pierreclos Chardonnay 2016
Under ripened orchard fruit, lemons, and white flowers on nose and palate. Medium- complexity. Elevated and racy acidity added a lot of movement and texture to wine. Lacked fruit in mid-palate to balance everything. Fine finish. #thevenet #chardonnay #mâcon #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
Charles (Chad) Bucklin
Owner and founder of C. T. Bucklin Wine Advising
Woke up after a few minutes in the glass. Pretty color with some rim variation. Incredible complexity and intensity on the nose. Ripe red fruit, flowers, meat, and herbs all blended together with very few distinct notes. Structure has melted away leaving a silky texture but a shorter finish. Drink now!! #marcsorrel #hermitage #ctbucklinwine — 6 years ago
