Give it some time, but after a decant lovely balance. Beautiful dark fruit.

2011 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain

I think there is likely bottle-variation in this vintage. I'd say this was the least composed Dunn I've drunk. Not bad but not as fruit forward or balanced as the normal Dunn. I would say not as put-together as I'm used to.

This was a fairly forgettable pinot, I tend to think it is passed it's prime. Pale red color. Light red fruit on the palette, medium acidity.

2013 Lucien Crochet Sancerre Rouge La Croix du Roy

Pinot Noir more

This is drinking fine now and only likely to get worse, drink now. It opened quite tight and needed about 45 minutes to really open up. Dry, earthy mushroom notes with cherry fruit undertone. Age isn't being kind to this wine as the fruit fades.

This was refreshingly pleasant. Balanced acidity, with a beautiful taste of soft strawberry, peach, and floral notes.

Enjoy with friends.

2017 Hundred Suns Pinot Noir Old Eight Cut

Willamette Valley more

1/1/2020 - akolicich Likes this wine: 90 points

I really liked this, it's a great value drinking wine and great for a group. It's a mouthful of raspberry juice, with a subtle finish of earthiness. Not very complex, and maybe a bit over-oaked, but really pleasant.

2006 Robert Foley Claret

Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more

12/21/2019 - akolicich Likes this wine: 91 points

Started off quite harsh, could be a bit over the hill. After 60 minutes started to open up. Tannins still fairly pronounced, flavors of coffee, chocolate, and hints of dark fruit.

Overall a fun one to try but probably not a crowd-pleaser.

Incredibly drinkable right now. Soft tannins, red fruit, not incredibly complex. Great gifting wine for a friend. Only knock is it's overpriced for what it is.

This could use some more time.

Tannins aren't balanced, has some dark fruit and a bit of pepper. Overall should let it age and maybe decant for longer (I did only 30 min). There's better cabs out there.

2004 Bressler Cabernet Sauvignon

St. Helena more

Drinking well right now, could probably go a few more years. Tannins have balanced-out. Flavor of plum/dark red fruit.
