1/15/2015 - geneyus wrote: 90 pointsLovely Rioja! Medium to full-bodied with a nice and scrumptious mouth feel, dominated by deep black fruit, licorice and a side of vanilla. Paired with a slab of assorted Spanish cold cuts and cheeses. |

2011 Montes Alpha Cabernet SauvignonColchagua Valley more |
1/18/2015 - geneyus wrote: NRTypical new world cabernet, raisins & prunes on the nose. Predominance of black fruit, with emphasis on bold fruitiness. Medium tannins. Great value wine, very consistent, which we paired with Angus Hamburger Steaks. |

2009 Mario and Giorgio Brunori Fonteascosa La Battinebbia Marche IGTMuscat Blend, Muscat more |
12/30/2013 - geneyus Likes this wine: 89 pointsA lovely floral, but not perfumy, white wine balanced by light citrus flavors enhanced by some apricot and peach notes. A well-balanced and medium bodied wine that is complex enough to drink alone just to enjoy how it plays around in your mouth ending in a moderate to long finish. It should pair well with well seasoned crustaceans and cream pastas. |

2005 Château Le Grand FaurieSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/16/2012 - geneyus wrote: 78 pointsDisappointing considering it's a 2005 and a St-Emilion Grande Cru Classe. Almost devoid of fruit, little tannins, but were still distinct due to the imbalance. Finish was short to moderate. |

2010 Castello di Amorosa Gewürztraminer "Dolcino"Anderson Valley more |
8/22/2011 - geneyus wrote: 90 pointsVery aromatic with apricot notes. Medium to full-bodied with predominantly lychee & apple, balanced by a fair amount of acid. Paired very well with well-seasoned &/or breaded oriental-style seafood. |

2010 Castello di Amorosa Sangiovese GioiaCalifornia more |
7/28/2011 - geneyus wrote: 87 pointsNose distinct of cherries & apple, reminiscent of kids amoxycillin suspension. Tasting showed an explosion of red fruit, strawberry & cranberry some cherries. Surprisingly dry for New World wine, definitely done in the Old World style. Nice, pleasant & refreshing acidity with moderate finish. Paired very well with Paella Valenciana. |

2010 Tulloch Verdelho Late PickedHunter Valley more |
8/22/2011 - geneyus wrote: 90 pointsThis is a very girlie type of wine, which I don't mean in a bad way. It's a semi-sweet white wine with a refreshing starting notes, honey lemon with some banana in a style reminiscent of German Spätlese Riesling, thus is paired in the same way. Amazing with the Peking Duck that we paired it with. |

2010 Spy Valley Pinot NoirMarlborough more |
12/25/2012 - geneyus wrote: 90 pointsA silky, light to medium bodied deep garnet tinted wine. Predominantly cherry and rasperry fruit with some peripheral grassy tones, a fair amount of acid and a moderate to long finish. Tasted great with some ripe St-Nectaire cheese. |

2008 Domaine Louis Cheze Syrah Vin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennesmore |
7/30/2011 - geneyus wrote: 88 pointsGreat value wine. Well balanced black fruit with spicy highlights & some tinges of black truffle. Tannins were subdued for a syrah with enough acid to pair well with a very savory pasta sauce. |

2010 Spy Valley Sauvignon BlancMarlborough more |
12/14/2011 - geneyus wrote: 90 pointsGood sized nose, with flowery citrus notes. Medium to full bodied, unusual for a Sauvignon Blanc with mangosteen, citrus... distinctly fruity with late notes of smoke. Wonderful finish. |

2008 Mommessin Moulin-à-Vent Les CanneliersGamay more |
2/14/2011 - geneyus wrote: 85 pointsBetter than my expectations. Very light and lively with distinct red fruit, zero tannins and a decent finish. Paired it with Arroz a la Cuban, a local specialty of ground beef stew with tomato sauce & fruits, a surprisingly perfect pairing, the dish adding complexity to the wine, while the wine adding another umami dimension to the dish. |

2009 Alexis Lichine Bordeaux 1er Cuvée ExceptionnelleRed Bordeaux Blend more |
1/9/2011 - geneyus wrote: 85 pointsVery good value for a 2009 Bordeaux. As expected, still quite young. Needs at least another 2-3 years to mellow out the tannins. Will buy more and see. |

2009 Colombelle Côtes de Gascogne BlancWhite Blend more |
3/14/2011 - geneyus wrote: 83 pointsHad with Baked Local Salmon in Garlic & Basil EVOO. Adequate acidity with Citrus notes, cutting through the fish and balancing the oil. Acceptable finish and refreshing at the end. Excellent value! |

2008 Mommessin Beaujolais-Villages Vieilles VignesGamay more |
12/31/2010 - geneyus wrote: 72 pointsWatery with just a faint hint of red fruit. Too acidic & astringent to drink on its own. Must be paired with some strong cheese & tangy hams to make it drinkable. Didn't really have high expectations for it, but was disappointed nonetheless. |

2008 Elian Da Ros Côtes du Marmandais Le vin est une fêteRed Blend more |
2/24/2011 - geneyus wrote: 84 pointsDecent wine, very versatile. Light to medium bodied with predominantly black with a touch of red fruit. Pronounced acidity which cuts well into well-seasoned red meat. Finish is fast to moderate but acceptable. A good everyday wine, but will probably not improve with age anymore. If you have it, drink it before the year ends. |

2008 Jacob's Creek Shiraz CabernetSouth Eastern Cabernet-Shiraz Blend, Red Blend more |
10/29/2012 - geneyus wrote: 89 pointsI found this to be a well-balanced wine, medium bodied, with a good amount of mostly black fruit but softened by some cherry tones. Tannins were moderate with a long finish. I truly enjoyed this bottle, and it went well with some beef lasagna. |

2008 St Hallett Shiraz FaithBarossa more |
8/6/2011 - geneyus wrote: 92 pointsOrdered in a restaurant to pair with US Black-Angus Prime Rib steak. Decanted for an hour before, opened up a relatively young wine, resulting in a well-balanced shiraz, blackberries with a tinge of red fruit, full-bodied with just enough tannins to cut through the meat and a long finish. |

2008 Tulloch Verdelho Late PickedHunter Valley more |
3/17/2011 - geneyus wrote: 92 pointsSmooth and succulent. Just enough sweetness to complement the Cantonese food we had with it. Particularly exquisite with Peking Duck & Fried Shrimp. |

2009 Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc ReservaCasablanca Valley more |
3/24/2011 - geneyus wrote: 89 pointsMedium to full bodies, but not overpoweringly heavy. Distinctly smoky style, reminiscent of Poilly-Fumé with a good price point. Well-balanced acidity and tropical fruit with long finish. Cooked with and drank with homemade Linguine Vongole, excellent pairing! |

2008 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les GrangesCabernet Franc more |
12/18/2011 - geneyus wrote: 88 pointsI rarely like Cabernet Franc single varietals, but this is a refreshing exception. On tasting, an initial flash of flowery notes with the mid range, a nice mouthful of red fruit with a good sized finish. Very quaffable but pairs well with well-seasoned chicken & pork dishes. Paired wonderfully with Philippine Lechón (Spit roasted pig from Elar's). |

2005 Snoqualmie Vineyards Syrah Joy Anderson ReserveColumbia Valley more |
12/17/2011 - geneyus wrote: 83 pointsI'm not so used to a Syrah with such intense black fruit & spice to have very light tannins. Light to medium feel on the mouth with similar finish. It's very drinkable & I enjoyed it somewhat, but didn't impress me as much as I wanted it to. |

8/10/2012 - geneyus wrote: 86 pointsA good value pinot, predominantly red fruit, with strawberry & cherries predominant with a touch of spice on the side. Light bodied with lacy tannins and a surprisingly long finish. Highly recommended for it's price point. |
