2018 Cristom Pinot NoirWillamette Valley more |
2/15/2024 - robmillis Likes this wine: 92 pointsDrinking beautifully now. Versatile without sacrificing depth. Earthier and heartier than some of the leading but thinner Willamette Pinots. |

2017 Damien Lorieux Bourgueil Cuvée La ColineCabernet Franc more |
3/1/2023 - robmillis Likes this wine: 88 pointsLighter and more herbal this time. I let it breathe for about 6 hours, then paired with a beef stew. Great combination. Not a stunning wine but very enjoyable. |

2017 Domaine de Roche-Guillon FleurieGamay more |
11/12/2022 - robmillis Likes this wine: 89 pointsExceptional QPR. Pop and pour. Plum/prune, tobacco, a little cola. Not entirely versatile though. Great with meats, not nearly as good with eggs, and soft rich cheese pairings could be challenging. |

2009 Sonoris Cabernet Sauvignon Burney's BlendColumbia Valley more |
10/18/2022 - robmillis wrote: 94 pointsSo, so, so good. Velvety dark berry, leather, maybe a touch of chickory(?). Perfect for red meat, grilled chicken, root vegetables — anything richly flavorful. The only problem is that 15% ABV means I can’t drink this all night. |

2015 Château de l'Isle FortBordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/2/2022 - robmillis Likes this wine: 91 pointsHearty but smooth. Equally wonderful with beef stew the first night and bolognese the second night. Be sure to filter the sediment though. |
