I saved this wine for a long time. It was a gift from my brother. It's pretty expensive and reasonably old (2004). I saved it to open it on my birthday. It's a dark red, with the typical signs of aging (beginning to turn brownish at the edges). It has Read more
This is an interesting wine. A mix of syrah (56%), pinot and zinfandel. It's unusual, but pleasing. There's some sweetness at first but it blends right in with the meal.

Interesting wine at first. Pronounced smell of berries and a strong taste of vanilla flan. It reminded me the purple Yellow Tail. It's, however, a strong wine. Not bad, but not what I expect from a good merlot.
Interesting white: very lemon-y and citric with their typical acidic hints. Some faint vestiges of a buttery texture.
This is a really good wine. And expensive too. Its bitter sweetness is interesting, with an intense bouquet of caramel and fruit. On the palate, definite hints of chocolate. It didn't earn a five star rating from me because it's too acidic, which distracted me from the experience of wine Read more
An initial fruity taste comes to mind but then a slightly acidic finish takes a bite. It's not bad everyday wine, but nothing special to write home about. Would probably benefit from more aging in the bottle.
Very smooth with a fruity nose. Deep ruby red color. Did a very good job pairing the fettucini Carbonara at the Swiss hotel in Sonoma (see attached photo)
I keep insisting on this family of wines... I never learn. :-) This one is not too bad at first: a small hint of fruity sweetness. Then on a second sip its true nature comes out: bland and impersonal -- not much body or personality to it. Highly passable.
Dry wine, with some initial acidity and high tannings but well-balanced and with interesting notes of raspberry.
This is a great wine, aged just right. It had a licorice-caramel touch to it, even though it was not sweet. It's not too bold, more on mellow side. Signs of aging were apparent on the glass, a more brownish finish to it. Not too big on the nose, though, Read more
