2017 Vicente Gandía Petit Verdot Valencia Uva Piratamore |
5/3/2020 - phl103 Likes this wine: NRMy first petit verdot. Deep purple color, blueberry/blackberry/plum, little bit of tannin. On day 2 I picked up cherry and vanilla. I wasn't expecting much for $10, but there's a lot going on with this one. |

2014 Nimble Vineyards Nimble Hog RedDry Creek Valley Red Blend more |
2/12/2022 - phl103 Likes this wine: NRZinfandel-dominant blend. I struggle with identifying the fruit flavors in Zinfandels, so I'll just say typical Zin fruit amalgamation with some hints of baking spices. Mild tannins - well integrated, and not noticeable at first. Short finish. Paired well with pepperoni pizza. Excellent QPR at $15. |
