2009 Jemrose Gloria's GemBennett Valley Syrah Blend, Syrah more |
11/27/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 90 pointsPoured through Vinturi. Wine was quite restrained for the first hour, then opened up a bit. Blackberry, cedar, leather, medium acidity, medium finish. Very enjoyable, mostly on its own after Thanksgiving dinner. Really thinking to leave the remainder of these in the cellar for a while. |

11/27/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 88 pointsRed and black berry fruit, zippy acidity and prominent oak. Hoping that subsides with a bit more cellar time. Enjoyable. |

2009 Twisted Oak *%#&@!Sierra Foothills Red Rhone Blend more |
11/18/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 90 pointsFantastic stuff at this price. As noted before, it's a different wine with some age on it; I like it when the strong blue fruit subsides, and that's where it is now. |

11/14/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally nice. Previous note applies, and although the wine had benefited from a couple more years in the cellar it was not as softened up as I would have thought. |

2008 Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Right BankNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
11/11/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 91 pointsPoured through Vinturi, consumed over course of an evening. Core of red berries with some black fruit, good acidity and dry, dusty tannins. Still acting very young, I think a proper decant next time is a must. No surprise, it shows best with food. Very enjoyable. |

2009 Renegade Wine Co. GrenacheWalla Walla Valley more |
11/9/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 89 pointsExpansive, jammy raspberry that fairly explodes on the palate. Nicely integrated oak, good acidity. Has character, but is not subtle (which is just fine). |

11/6/2014 - Leomania Likes this wine: 88 pointsBlack currant, cacao, a bit of leather. Middling acidity, simple finish. More of an easy-drinking style but who doesn't expect that at this price point? Excellent QPR. |
