4/17/2022 - Tym4wine Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery perfumed. Light red cherry color in the glass. Morello Cherry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors. Beautifully integrated tannins. Medium+ finish. This is a lovely wine. Retail price was $130. I get the raves, however, over-priced IMO.

2020 Venge Vineyards Scout's HonorNapa Valley Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel more |
4/15/2022 - Tym4wine Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine is showing very different than the 2019. This is a much more fruit forward wine and a lot less smokiness on the finish. Perfect acidity and tannins. Drinking well right out of the bottle. Perfect mid-week wine when you are looking for something different than a straight up cab. Quite nice and enjoyable blend.

5/12/2021 - Tym4wine Likes this wine: 94 pointsWonderful floral aromas followed by a field of beautifully fragrant violets ands hint of warm, sunshine soaked blueberries. Deep dark garnet in the glass nearly opaque with a razor sharp translucent edge. Flavors of blackberry, minerals, and dark chocolate. Tannins are soft, supple and smooth. Beautifully integrated and with many more years ahead. The finish envelopes the tongue and finishes long and memorable. Wonderful wine for a perfect night and perfect celebration of life and love!

2013 Castelgiocondo (Marchesi de' Frescobaldi) Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
4/3/2021 - Tym4wine Does not like this wine: 87 pointsDecanted 2.5 hours. Nice floral aromas and Spring air. Flavors of aged plum, very acidic with no other fruit flavors. Strong, dense tannins. Very strange taste on mid/rear palate almost like wet carpet? I did not care for this wine.

2017 Hall Cabernet Sauvignon Craig'sNapa Valley more |
2/10/2021 - DonWinspear Likes this wine: 91 pointsAs I sipped this wine, I was immediately reminded of the movie Armageddon where Bruce Willis is left behind to trigger the nuke and after the folks in the escaping space shuttle debate the wisdom of returning once the required period of time has passed, Ben Afflect says, "Harry will do it. I know. He doesn't know how to fail." This wine is good. The Halls don't know how to fail. It's dark and has a nose of cassis. The palate is intriguing because it offers up both a fresh fruity dark berry along with a touch of earthiness to convey a semblance of age. Two faced, you might say. The tannins are solid suggesting a few more years may benefit this wine. A moderate finish. Very nice wine and at $50 a great deal. Well worth it.

11/28/2020 - Tym4wine wrote: 85 pointsSome floral aromas, but largely muted. Some blackberry flavors, seems muddled. Good acidity but lacks structure and appears linear. Seems flabby and relatively uninteresting. Light tannins, short finish.

10/2/2020 - Tym4wine Likes this wine: 91 pointsDark brick in the glass. This wine has a beautifully fragrant nose. The tannins are round and smooth bringing a mellow softness to the wine in the mouth. This is a fruit forward wine with lots of black fruit full of brambly blackberry and having good acidity. The wine has a long, memorable finish. Nicely done.
