2003 Hardys Shiraz BanksideSouth Australia more |
11/24/2007 - somadoc wrote: NRFor over 150 years, Hardys has been crafting some of Australia's best-known and most popular wines. This rich red shows typical Shiraz characteristics of intense black fruit, mint, vanilla, and pepper aromas. It's dry with generous fruit flavours, excellent structure and balance. Great with a warming bowl of chili con carne. |

2001 Joseph Drouhin BourgognePinot Noir more |
11/24/2007 - somadoc wrote: NRA great Pinot for game birds or flavourful meats, such as bison. It displays aromas of earth, cherry, beet, dried leaves and spice. It is dry with a taut structure and lively acidity. Medium-bodied, it displays a very good finish. (Vintages panel, May 2006) |

12/21/2009 - somadoc wrote: 92 pointsMy first taste of Tignanello. Not awesome, but very good. Loads of black fruit and anise??? on the nose as well as in tasting. Have 7 more of these so will be interesting to see how it changes. |

2000 Zanoni Amarone della Valpolicella Classico MonteZovoCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
11/24/2007 - somadoc wrote: NRmagnificent wine from the Cottini family, it is black/violet in colour with a bouquet bursting with cherry jam as well as smoky, tar elements. The palate is rich and plush with ripe fruit and velvety tannins leading to a delightfully long finish. A perfect end to a meal along with aged parmigiano reggiano and pears. (Vintages panel, March 2005) |

2007 Jonata Winery El Alma de JonataSanta Ynez Valley Cabernet Franc more |
12/16/2012 - somadoc wrote: NRI'm not able to rate this as, although we all loved it, it is SO powerful and such a high alcohol taste that I don't know what number to give it. The fruit is abundant but I had to concentrate hard to get passed the alcohol. My first time experiencing the "alcohol bomb", and it was a bomb. I hope time will mellow this so we can truly appreciate the wine underneath. |

1998 Stonegate Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
12/9/2007 - somadoc wrote: 90 pointsAlthough this 1998 vintage is reported to be past it's drinking date, this last bottle from our cellar was still excellent. Full fruit - blackberry, blueberry - and some tobacco. If you have any left, don't think that they are going to be duds, as ths was a very nice wine still on December 7, 2007. |

2005 Cakebread Cellars Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
1/18/2013 - somadoc wrote: 90 pointsInteresting night - we had the Cakebread Merlot first, which I was disappointed with, and then this cab, which I enjoyed more. Was that because it was nicer or because I already had half a bottle of wine in me :) This has a nice fruity nose with soft dark berries on the palate and a far nicer finish than its merlot cousin. |
