2006 Femar Vini Aglianico Epicuro Beneventano IGTmore |
3/13/2009 - RobertDwyer wrote: 86 pointsFruity on the nose and flavorful on the palate. Tasty and drinkable. Only downside for me was that the fruit felt a little fake at times, and I caught an occasional "off" raisiny note on the finish. At $5.99 this is a good value. Went well with food. |

2011 Gaia Assyrtiko ThalassitisSantorini more |
7/15/2012 - RobertDwyer Likes this wine: 88 pointsPale straw in color with just a touch of cloudiness. Reminscent of a Muscadet if I was tasting it blind. Inviting touch of lemon on the nose along with a salty note that reminded me of the seashore. Very clean and quite dry. Nice wine. Sample for review. |

2007 Vietti Barbera d'Asti Tre Vignemore |
4/6/2010 - RobertDwyer wrote: 85 pointsNeeds significant time to open. Medium-dark color. Fairly limited aromatically but flavorful. Pretty basic red wine flavors. A little tart. Medium-high acidity. A little harsh on the finish, less so when consumed with pasta Bolognese. I'd expect this to soften and improve with age. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2006 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbera d'Asti Cà di Pianmore |
1/23/2010 - RobertDwyer wrote: 89 pointsDried blueberries. Full bodied and flavorful. Medium acidity makes it enjoyable with food or as a cocktail. Nice stuff. |

2005 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbera d'Alba Gallinamore |
2/19/2010 - RobertDwyer wrote: 93 pointsExtremely satisfying. Dark opaque purple. Dried dark fruit on the nose with some secondary (intriguing) ripe apricot aromas. Firm but forgiving tannins. Floods the palate with flavor. Fantastic wine. Will buy more from this producer again. Trust the rhino. |

2009 Finca Sandoval Manchuela Signo Bobalmore |
3/25/2014 - RobertDwyer Likes this wine: 90 pointsA wild, untamed young beast. Exotic aromas of Indian baking spices and teriyaki beef jerky. Powerful flavors with sweet but prominent tannins. Really interesting. I'd definitely like to see where this is in a few years. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2009 Braida (Giacomo Bologna) Brachetto d'AcquiBrachetto d'Acqui DOCG more |
4/2/2012 - RobertDwyer Likes this wine: 90 pointsWhat a delicious and versatile wine. Kind of reminded me of a Lambrusco in a good way. Light and elegant with a touch of fizz. Generous aromatically so fruity. Hard to stop drinking. Just 5.5% alcohol. Goes so nicely with pasta dishes and soups. Luscious and refreshing. Hard to imagine half bottles of this not being put to good use. Enjoyed it at room temp as well as chilled. A fascinating discovery. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2006 Buehler Vineyards Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
2/5/2009 - RobertDwyer wrote: 83 pointsJust an average wine with noticeable off tastes (metallic, vegetal, not so good). Such a disappointment from this otherwise reliable and perennial value producer of primo Napa Cab. I'd be stunned if WS goes 90 points on this one. Stunned. |

2007 RouteStock Cellars Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
12/9/2010 - RobertDwyer wrote: 89 pointsThe thing I like about this wine is how its aromas and flavor profile align with what I associate with more expensive Napa Cabernet. As I smell an empty glass I get black currant, rich generous fruit and savory aspects that are extremely appealing. Cinnamon too. Makes me want to refill the glass. |

2011 Honig Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
6/1/2014 - RobertDwyer wrote: 87 pointsI've had this vintage a couple times now and I don't think I'm going to buy any more. Whereas the fabulous 2010 seemed to get better and better each time I'd open one, this one has a lot of rough edges, comes off as hot at times, and has a peculiar bell pepper note on the finish. So shows signs of a hot vintage (highish alcohol and depth of flavor) and a cold one (vegetable notes). If this is just in a bad place now and rallies it'll be one of the biggest comebacks ever. |

2007 Mueller Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountainmore |
6/18/2011 - RobertDwyer wrote: 93 pointsReally liked the flavor profile of this wine. Fruit forward and friendly on the nose then it gets a little more serious on the palate without getting too herbal. Nice stuff. |

2007 Cupcake Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Central Coastmore |
3/12/2010 - RobertDwyer wrote: 84 pointsThis wine felt to me like a fragmented experience: It didn't seem very well integrated. Somewhat limited aromatically,fruit and some tannic bite on the palate and then a big oak presence. Overall, quite drinkable and perhaps enjoyable but somehow it didn't come together as a complete offering for me. |

2010 Honig Cabernet Sauvignon BartolucciSt. Helena more |
12/18/2014 - RobertDwyer wrote: 87 pointsDidn't show particularly well. A little green (bell pepper) on the nose but then quite different on the palate where it is quite rich with chocolate mint flavors. This bottle just didn't come together well at this point. Disappointing. |

2008 Double Diamond (Schrader) Cabernet Sauvignon Amber Knolls VineyardRed Hills Lake County more |
2/18/2011 - RobertDwyer Does not like this wine: 88 pointsSmoky with drying tannins that overwhelm the fruit. Nearly opaque and the alcohol feels more present than the 14.5% on the label. Reminds me of cinnamon toothpicks the ice cream man sells. Strange wine from Napa. |
