2014 Gramercy Cellars Syrah Lower EastColumbia Valley more |
1/6/2019 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 92 pointsThe most Northern Rhone tasting Washington Syrah I've had so far. Color is a little more purpley than from the Rhone, which, if blind tasting might be one of the only clues you'll get that this isn't from France. Nice job Grammercy Cellars! |

NV Jean Vesselle Champagne Brut RéserveChampagne Blend more |
12/31/2018 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 90 pointsNew Year's Eve Champagne. This is good. It's not Bollinger, but very satisfying and enjoyable. Nice to have some toasty notes on the palate at this price point, $38.00 I think. Some mineral and slate, lemon, brioche. Nice bubbles. |

2012 Stéphane Ogier Syrah La RosineVin de Pays des Collines Rhodaniennes more |
12/12/2018 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 94 pointsI don't know what to say about this wine anymore.. maybe I do. This is ridiculously good! Shoe polish, figs, and most importantly that Northern Rhone funk! Paid $58 for a magnum. Not going to get better Northern Rhone at this price even in a 750. |

12/9/2018 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 89 pointsPaired with grilled pork ribs and mashed potatoes. Nice together. The wine looks violet colored. There is no sediment in the bottle.

2011 Bodegas Hermanos Peciña Rioja Señorío de P. Peciña ReservaTempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more |
11/30/2018 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 91 pointsDrank with homemade tapas. Leg of Lamb skewers with vegetables and potatoes. This has the foundation to be great in a few years. Seems pretty young still. A little wood heavy at the moment, but you can tell that it will integrate with time. Dark fruits, figs, earth, tobacco. Longer decant would have helped. |

2017 Pecchenino Dogliani San LuigiDolcetto more |
12/7/2018 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 90 pointsI'm sorry, I have to go 90 points on this. Really, really satisfying to drink, especially with Italian food. Freshness is the keyword here. Flowers and a little slate on the nose. Cherries, mineral and spice on the palate. Lots of backbone and good acidity which stands up to sauces and meat. Loved this! |

2016 Domaine Du Castel Jerusalem - Haute Judee La VieJerusalem Mountains Red Blend more |
11/11/2018 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 93 pointsDrank via Coravin over 2 weeks. I expected this to be good, but not this good! The freshness and alive-ness of this wine is overwhelming! It has that intangible something special that makes this wine exceedingly satisfying. Roughly a Bordeaux blend. Flowers and lead on the nose. Berries, herbs, mineral, slate on the palate. A little vanilla too but not from being over oaked. Wine has spent most of its time in steel tanks. Beautiful! |

2016 Allegrini ValpolicellaCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
11/9/2018 - Curt Hawkins Likes this wine: 88 pointsNothing too complicated here, but enjoyable nonetheless. Lively, bright, medium body and texture. Slightly unripe cherries in a good way, well integrated oak, just a hint which gives off a little note of vanilla, a little underbrush. Medium acid, medium finish. Good with pizza. |
