2007 Alante Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon Roman's VintageSt. Helena more |
7/26/2012 - pkbackman Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery good Cabernet. Good fruit and structure. Is it worth $70? Don't think so. $50? Not sure. Probably more in line with the Chappellet Signature Cab, |

2005 Almira Campo de Borja Los DosGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
3/6/2007 - pkbackman wrote: 79 pointsFirst taste came across as very fruity, lots of raspberry. But the fruitiness was very hollow. Almost like a sugar free HI-C fruit punch. Not very good. Would not get again even at this low price. |

2005 AltoLandon ManchuelaRed Blend more |
3/8/2010 - pkbackman wrote: 89 pointsVery Good. I would not call this elegant. It actually seemed kind of big and in your face. Kind of brooding. But really nice dark fruit. Would not recommend this with a meal, but a very tasty stand alone wine. |

1/24/2007 - pkbackman wrote: NRRaisiny. Slightly nutty. Hints of Madeira. Sweet. Thick and syrupy. All not bad qualities. But unfortunately I couldn't shake the occasional medicinal undertones that kept surfacing. Too much like cough syrup? Rum? |

2007 Andrew Will Ciel du Cheval VineyardRed Mountain Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/15/2011 - pkbackman wrote: 89 pointsThis is a real nice wine. Excellent in fact. It did need a good 2 hour decant to sort itself out though. Loaded with fruit, but more of the high toned variety rather than dark and brooding. Tannins are firm. Real long pleasant finish. Glad I have 2 more to check out over the next several years. |

2010 Anthill Farms Pinot Noir Peters VineyardSonoma Coast more |
2/1/2013 - pkbackman Likes this wine: 92 pointsI could see waiting on this, but it really was drinking well now. Bright berry fruit on the attack, with a smooth savory finish. Mouthwatering. Slightly rustic undertones gives it an edge. Very enjoyable. |

2008 Arista Winery Pinot Noir Sonoma Countymore |
9/25/2011 - pkbackman wrote: 88 pointslittle barnyard on the nose, that dissipates on the palate. Bright cherry fruit. Highly acidic. Definitely a food wine. Not necessarily my style, but good stuff, especially for the price. |
