Not normally a white wine drinker, but found this to be a really solid and well made. Held up to a moderately spicy shrimp and grits. Good QPR.

2010 Domaine Le Garrigon Côtes du Rhône

Red Rhone Blend more

9/10/2011 - stormn1 wrote: 74 points

Knew it was cheap, but was hoping for something to qualify it as an every day drinker or a party wine for after the good stuff was gone. Maybe it's just way too young but nothing about this wine says anything other than airplane wine, minus the little bottles.

A little alcohol on the nose. Pretty smooth and vanilla (not an actual flavor) for a shiraz. Decent structure and tannins. Good fruit with some black cherry and a little blackberry. Nice every day drinker.

2008 Four Vines Zinfandel

California more

8/14/2011 - stormn1 wrote: 79 points

Major fruit bomb. Too sweet for my taste. Very little tannins. Wouldn't be a bad dessert wine, just not what I expected from a zinfandel.

More like a red blend than a true sangio. Not bad, but nothing special or memorable. Pretty soft tannins. Little bit of smoke and dark berry flavor.

Not terrible, but probably not a great QPR. Flat on the nose. Some blackberry notes with heavy tannins. Will likely not buy again.

Dark fruit on the nose. Notes of blackberry and cherry along with some pepper. Decent tannins. That said, it was an okay zin. Doubt I'll purchase again unless the deal is significant.

Good citrus notes, nice clean finish. Not overly sweet. I'm not a big white wine drinker but this will be an enjoyable summer evening wine. Good QPR.

Good QPR for a Williamette Pinot. Bright fruit flavors. Pairs well with lightly sauteed foods or grilled seafood.
