Red	2018 Dynamite Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast more	Options View WineNerd76's profile Report Issue 4/8/2024 - WineNerd76 Likes this wine: 90 points Deep ruby in color; black cherries, black plums, and graphite on the nose; medium minus acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry sauce, blueberries, hibiscus, and crushed gravel with a long fruity finish. I like it. Nellie says it's ok. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2022 Dynamite Vineyards Merlot South Eastern more	Options Post a Comment View red freddy's profile Report Issue 10/15/2023 - red freddy Likes this wine: 88 points Repeat Purchase (new vintage) @ Costco 13.5% abv, $5 ($9 less $4 discount) Served (aerated, 1-hr decant) w/Tri-tip & Salad. Purplish-red in the glass, nose was fragrant with blackberry and plum and heartier flavor. Moderate acidity with ample tannins, leaving a slight 'fuzzy-tooth' feel. Nice, tart, lingering finish. I'd buy again. Recommend decanting for an hour or so prior to serving. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2021 Dynamite Vineyards Merlot South Eastern more	Options Post a Comment View red freddy's profile Report Issue 1/20/2023 - red freddy Likes this wine: 88 points Impulse Purchase @ Costco. On a flyer, I wanted to try an inexpensive Merlot. 13.0% abv, $5 ($9 less $4 discount) Prior offerings from this vintner have been in the lower-cost category; several varietals (both reds and white) from Northern California, I believe this is their first foray into "down-under" territory (South Eastern Australia). "Popped & Poured" with Chinese Take-out. First impressions were quite disappointing; seemed both lighter-colored, and lighter-bodied for a merlot; drinking more like a Nouveau Beaujolais than a Merlot. Setting it aside, I decided to re-sample some days later. To my utter surprise the wine had 'opened-up;' blossomed, so to speak. (That or spouse had dumped the bottle & replaced the contents with another wine.) Purplish-red in the glass, nose was fragrant with blackberry and plum and heartier flavor. Moderate acidity with ample tannins, leaving a slight 'fuzzy-tooth' feel. Nice, tart, lingering finish. I couldn't detect any indication of spoilage (an indication of high acidity, I believe). I'll buy more, but decant for several hours prior to consuming. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Has a cherry candy-like quality like a Pinot Noir. Not a bad wine for $5. 87--88. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Red	2018 Dynamite Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast more	Options View Jacbowron's profile Report Issue 1/23/2021 - Jacbowron Likes this wine: 83 points Such a good wine! Maybe the best I've ever had, just ask all the other wines, they will all tell you this one is the best. Smells like a very stable genius, tastes like more rounds of golf than any other president in history. Honestly, I don't remember drinking this. Woke up in the middle of the night to take a piss and the option to leave a review was open on my phone. I'm drunk, so I must have enjoyed it. The rating I left says I didn't, but the spinning room says otherwise. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

And this did nothing to change my mind. Jammy, nutty with vanilla. Not a bad start, but very acidic that is hard to ignore and sucks the life out of the wine. Do you find this review helpful?

Sweetness level is at a minimum, for my tastes, which tend to veer to the Right Bank as far as Cab goes. Of course price influences likeability, so take that into account, as the price was well under $10. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Some VA?? P: Med body; Almost swtish frt with some heat, met by mid-P pucker which slowly resolves into a long finish which seems to BUILD (rather than shed) its astringency. Not sure WHY I missed it a couple of wks ago, but this appears to be drying. :( Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

A NICELY balanced style for drinking through '17, & even though likely on the decline, my score takes into consideration the SENSATIONAL QPR of this vendor's $4.95, ASTONISHINGLY but 31% of the one source I saw on wine-searcher! 1 person found this helpful, do you?
