11/2/2017 - spmulligan Does not like this wine: 59 pointsFairly certain this is made from concentrate, at least in part. Tastes like Concord grape juice from those frozen concentrate cylinders that you mixed with water I had as a kid. It’s awful. Serve over lots of ice or return he bottle if you can. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2006 Château Les Hauts-ConseillantsLalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/25/2017 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 93 pointsAged very well. Great color transitions from rose color to a strawberry hue to violent. Cheddar cheese and heavy mushroom on the nose. Lots more mushroom mixed with some hay and red fruit on the palate. Tannins still there. Wish I had this with a meal. |

10/22/2017 - spmulligan wrote: 90 pointsEven higher rating could be due because this is $10 a bottle. Light and fruit and great balance and acidity. I enjoyed it on its own and with dinner. |

2011 Bevan Cellars Sugarloaf Mountain VineyardNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/1/2015 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 96 pointsA top notch wine. Consistent with CT user reviews of other vintages, the 2011 was superb. Big nose, great structure, great feeling, long finish. Lots of happiness in this bottle. Black tea, herb, nice fruit and hint of mint. More fruit on day 2 of the bottle. |

2014 H J. Fabre Chardonnay-TorrontésLujan de Cuyo Chardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more |
3/17/2015 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 88 pointsAlthough it is 80% chard, the 20% torrontes is actually more powerful. Floral notes, like lilac, are prominent, but a little more body than a pure Torrontes and none of its disagreeable chalkiness. |

2012 Château Haut-MouleyreBordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/6/2015 - spmulligan wrote: 85 pointsNeutral. The wine is fine. Some underripe, tart fruit but blended with a slight ear thy finish. A little tight all around and probably better to wait awhile. |

NV Graham Beck Brut RoséWestern Cape Champagne Blend more |
2/8/2015 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 93 pointsWorth way more than it sells for. This could confuse the best taster for Champagne in a blind tasting. Should be rated much higher here on Cellar Tracker, but people's scores generally track costs (unfortunately). 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2013 Guicciardini Strozzi Vernaccia di San Gimignano Principe Strozzimore |
2/6/2015 - spmulligan Does not like this wine: 60 pointsHard to drink. I poured my wife a glass without telling her how I felt about it, and she immediately said "This is bad!" No wonder they give you three free bottles when you join WSJ Wine Club. |

2011 The Hilt Pinot Noir VanguardSanta Barbara County more |
2/6/2015 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 93 pointsThe nose immediately lets you know you have a great wine. It smells like California. Ruby color with medium watery edge and few color transitions. Palate is not complex, but it is a delicious bowl of fruit flavors. |

2007 Livia Fontana BaroloNebbiolo more |
12/27/2014 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 88 pointsBeautiful transitions between pink/orange to ruby. Thick watery edge. Earth and smoke on the nose. Palate is not extraordinary with nothing really jumping out, but it is integrated and ready to drink now. Good finish despite the less than stellar palate. |

2013 Allagash InterludeMaine Malt, Grain more |
12/12/2014 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 96 pointsAle aged in red wine barrels with brettanomyces. A very good, very interesting beer. Nice balance of sweet and sour. Brown sugar offset with sour mash. Finish is all red fruit (from the red wine barrels). Not as complex or long of a finish as Curieux, but still very nice. Expensive ($22 for 750ml) |

2007 Lorenzo Begali Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Monte Ca' BiancaCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
11/23/2013 - spmulligan Likes this wine: 94 pointsNose is initially tight, like cheap chianti, but opens up to show some nice raspberry, boysenberry, and pepper. Taste: wow - big, enveloping mouthfeel. More palate on the nose + great chocolate. Port-like on the finish and also on how hedonistic and pleasurable this is. Bitter on day two, so drink up! |

2012 Domaine Bellevue Sauvignon Tourainemore |
11/11/2013 - spmulligan Does not like this wine: 79 pointsWhat's the sugar content? Too sweet. It's evident from the color to the nose to the palate. Too much. Odd. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
