12/9/2023 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 96 pointsThe Sixth Annual World's Largest Blind Tasting of American Sparkling Wine (Houston, Texas): Retail $22. 75% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Blanc. Incredible nose of yeastiness and subtle but ripe fruit. Whoa on the palate. Rich, yeasty, complex. Wonderful. Outstanding. 96 Points.

11/7/2020 - Bam_Man wrote: 93 pointsThis wine has come along nicely since we last tried it three years ago. Has unwound and added considerable depth and length. Not showing nearly as much of its 15.0% alcohol now, either. So decadent, fruit-filled and unctuous. A broad, wonderful Brunello, that pushes the boundaries of the modern style.

5/8/2021 - zochavez Likes this wine: 88 pointsDeep purple with ripe cherries, leather, vanilla, dill and pepper on the nose. Full bodied with medium tannins and acidity. There is an addition of some smoke on the palette. Medium plus finish. A bit of alcohol towards the end. Much more balanced on the 2nd and 3rd day. Great value for a Ribera del Duero.

Nose is developed, fruity, with oak character and notes of cherries, vanilla, plums, spices, mulberries and a touch of licorice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied plus, with smooth tannins, nice acidity and notes of cherries, vanilla, cinnamon, black currants and some licorice in the long finish.

7/24/2022 - jwilliams6 Likes this wine: 92 pointsDeep purple/ruby color. Ripe fresh red and black fruit on the nose. Blackberry, raspberry, black cherry. Savory herbs, violets, rose. Thyme, oregano. Pepper. Slight smoke. Wet earth. Hints of oak. A "greenness." On the palate, rich fruit remains, blackberry and raspberry. Herbs, pepper, stone, minerality. Very interesting wine that seems to be a combination of old world non-fruit characteristics w/ new world alcohol levels and spice. Fruit does not dominate.

2019 Familia Zuccardi Malbec QValle de Uco more |
12/5/2020 - daveyk39 wrote: 89 pointsHigh altitude Malbec (from two vineyards at 3600' and 3900' in the Andes Mountains). Medium purple color. Offers black cherry, black berry, dark chocolate, clay pot and baking spice. Simple, young and round. Medium-full bodied, velvety texture with succulent dark fruit on the palate, and sweet, plush tannins. Potential, but may be a bit too primary to develop significant complexity.

10/21/2021 - Redguy wrote: NRTaut and polished across the palate, this delivers more mouthfeel than substance. Dark fruit with a smoky top note offers a generic profile that lacks richness or typicity. Not a bad wine for the price, just not that interesting.

5/9/2021 - Clark W Griswold Likes this wine: 87 pointsFresh, juicy red fruit. Light structure with bright acidity. Had high hopes based on other reviews and I must say I’m a bit disappointed. Still it’s not a bad qpr. Probably be better in 5 years.

8/13/2021 - ken@ampy.com Likes this wine: 91 pointsA very nice bottle of reasonably priced Bordeaux. Decanter said 97 Pts. That's a bit optimistic unless the grading is solely QPR. Perhaps a 30 minute decant is called for but it drinks well as a PNP. Nothing bad to say about this wine, for the price, a delightful bottle. I bought a case and will enjoy over the next few years. Age won't hurt this wine but I doubt it will improve it significantly either.

2019 Dow Douro Vale do BomfimRed Blend more |
4/27/2021 - isaacjamesbaker wrote: 87 pointsMedium purple color. Smells of plums and blackberries, deep and ripe, with smoky earth, pencil lead, violets and coffee grounds. Medium/full-bodied with a pleasantly chewy texture and medium acidity. Chunks of plums and juicy blackberries, laced with cocoa, cedar, iron and earth. Straightforward but balanced, ripe but nuanced. A blend of Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and others. Great introduction to Douro dry reds at a very attractive price point.

2018 Caymus Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
6/20/2021 - RockyII wrote: 84 points2nd day notes. Deep opaque cranberry purple color. Pretty big nose and taste of vanilla, raisin, cocoa, dates and prunes. Medium acidity but pretty low tannins tho it does have a touch of chalkiness on the finish. Not a fruit bomb but not the flavor profile I prefer and a touch overly sweet and thin. Better QPR choices out there for Napa. About 84-86.

2018 Caymus Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
9/1/2021 - gsomers Does not like this wine: 80 pointsOur first time and very likely last time trying the iconic Caymus. Bought this sometime in 2020 when we were just getting started on the fine wine journey. Caymus seemed like the entry level for novices wanting to get their fine wine on, shining it's seductive $89 price (highest of all the regular wines) out there like a beacon to unsuspecting Costco shoppers. We've had a lot of wine in the last year and a half and a pretty fair amount of very good wine, but very few we both find objectionable. This unfortunately is right where Caymus landed. It's just not our cup of juice. I'd have to say if you have it, hold it or perhaps gift it to the unsuspecting. There are quite a few very good 2018 Cali Cabs. For us, this is not one of them.

8/12/2021 - TommyWiseau22 Does not like this wine: 60 pointsAn utterly absurd price for a chardonnay that pretends it's a dessert wine. It tastes like a mix between coconut milk and vanilla ice cream and at some point you might get a bit of peach or some other hint of fruit but nothing more. I'd be content if I paid $15 for this instead of $63.
