4/22/2011 - rerail84 wrote: NRThis was my first BV Latour and I dont know if they are normally like this but it tasted like a zinfandel port. Very tart wiith only black licorice on the nose. I was afraid this bottle was tainted but I decanted all night and it really opened up this morning. More notes to come. |

2008 Belle Glos Pinot Noir MeiomiSonoma Coast more |
2/3/2012 - rerail84 wrote: NRColor is crisp with slight bricking around the edges. Nose of ripe red fruit, crushed rock and a hint of mint. Well balanced on the palate, although a bit sweet. Not too complex but very satisfying. Finish is short. Decent Pinot if you want to open something you don't have to think about too much. |

8/29/2011 - rerail84 wrote: NR- Garnet color with slow forming legs and aromas of black currant, blackberry and butterscotch. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of dusty and black pepper with a medium body. Juicy texture with a long finish. |

2007 Charles Krug Winery (Peter Mondavi Family) Pinot NoirCarneros more |
12/2/2010 - rerail84 wrote: 84 pointsThe nose was a fantastic representaion of what a carneros pinot should be. Plenty of earthy minerals, spice and a hint of oak. On the palate this wine was very light and slightly acidic. The finish was short. Not a great repesentaion of a normally great winery. |

7/21/2011 - rerail84 wrote: NR- Ruby color with fast forming legs. It's overly acidic with a light/medium body. Bright texture with a long finish - Decanted for two hours. Very, very tart. I don't know if I drank this too soon but not super impressed. Good nose, with nice hints of spice and a bit of bell pepper. Palate is thin and flabby. Way too much acid, very out of balance. I think this wine has the potential to be good, I may have just drank it in shut down faze or it could just not be that great. Either way, meh. |

2007 Del Dotto Cave BlendNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/7/2011 - rerail84 wrote: NR- Ruby color - The nose is strong and vibrant with strong notes of strawberry, creme de cassis and fresh vanilla. The only this that is off putting is the nose is also very hot! Not sure of the ABV is but it feels like 15.5. The palate is smooth and round with mocha and a bit of chocolate on the palate. Finish is semi long, around 25-30 seconds. Drinking very well right now. |

5/20/2011 - rerail84 wrote: NRNice wine. When I removed the capsul I noticed a bit os seepage with kind of worried me but it turned out to be fine. It was soft and most of the harsh tannins were gone leaving only a bit of spice and a nice amount of acid. Good wine but I think I missed the best of it by about a year. |

7/4/2011 - rerail84 wrote: NR- Ruby color and has flavours of strawberry and rose with a medium body with a medium finish - This wine had an intoxicating nose of lush berries, and cherry blossom. Huge notes of strawberry with a touch of oak. The palate was smooth and balanced but a bit tart. Tannins still present but definitely fading. I'm glad I drank this when I did because I don't think it has a whole lot of time left. |

3/5/2013 - rerail84 wrote: NRHad at Il Fornio with a generous helping of lagnassia and wow was this wine awesome. So supple and smooth, yet masculine and refined. At $65 it is on the pricer side but it is so good you quickly forget the price. Bright color, stunning nose and a finish that will leave you longing for more. Fantastic wine which will last another 5 years without issue. |

2009 Double Diamond (Schrader) Cabernet Sauvignon Bomber XNapa Valley more |
3/8/2013 - rerail84 wrote: NRPnP. Very tight right now. Very little fruit coming through on the nose. Blackberry and soil mostly. The palate is no exception, tight and tanic. Starts to open up after 30 min in the glass. Firm tannins and a nice acidic backbone. Finish is muted and on the short side at the moment. Kind of have to agree with some of the other notes on this wine being in a wierd place right now. Give it another year. |

2009 Double Diamond (Schrader) Cabernet Sauvignon Bomber XNapa Valley more |
11/7/2011 - rerail84 wrote: NRPopped and poured. Bright purple color with a semi muted nose. Small amounts of brown sugar, creme de cassis and new oak come through. On the palate it is somewhat balanced with no real harsh edges but it's definitely fruit driven. The acid takes a back seat but is present. The mid palate consists of dark fruit, smoke and a bit of licorice. Finish is short to med in length. This is my first DD and I guess I was expecting more but we'll see where this wine is at in 6-12 months. |
