2000 Basilisco Aglianico del Vulturemore |
4/6/2013 - Three-Star Dave Likes this wine: 84 pointsThe timing was right with this wine, but the flavors were simply not what I wanted, or was recalling from Aglianicos I drank in Italy. Disappointing. |

10/6/2007 - Three-Star Dave wrote: 78 pointsA pleasant white, a bit of salt and complexity to the flavor, nicely dry. Used (mostly) to mix with cheese for a nice fondue. |

2003 Canyon Wind Merlot Grand Valleymore |
3/29/2009 - Three-Star Dave wrote: 78 pointsNormal red color. Hot nose when opened, but after aeration a distinct cocoa flavor. When first opened, astringent mouth with a nutty flavor, okay, with an innocuous finish. After aeration, less astringent, but a slight off flavor in the finish. |

2002 Cave Spring Riesling Indian Summer Select Late HarvestNiagara Peninsula VQA more |
5/10/2008 - Three-Star Dave wrote: 93 pointsOh, my. It quickly got past a slightly musty nose into pure amber sweetness, with just a hint of citrus to keep it from being cloying, a touch of floral to round it out. Triffic stuff. |

2005 Cosentino Winery Zinfandel CigarZinCalifornia more |
6/15/2008 - Three-Star Dave wrote: 89 pointsPale in color. Smooth and light at first, ending in a spicy, slightly alcoholic palate. Blends with steak, without adding much flavor. |

2005 Cosentino Winery Zinfandel The ZinLodi more |
2/24/2009 - Three-Star Dave wrote: 84 pointsVery jammy nose, almost like a Mourvedre. Dark, smooth, slightly hot finish. Slightly off aftertaste. Slurpable. More fruit than spice, alas. With a bit of aeration, the off notes are gone, but it's still not much more than a Good. |
