3/17/2017 - Leomania Likes this wine: 88 pointsNice floral bouquet on the nose. Strawberry, slightly sweet initially, with a transition to a surprising tart acidity which provides a nice counterpoint. Has a nice minerality as well. Quite enjoyable. |

2015 Charles Smith Riesling Kung Fu GirlWashington more |
3/5/2017 - Leomania Likes this wine: 88 pointsA bit effervescent upon initial pour, dissipates quickly. Apple, apricot and citrus. Just a bit of minerality, somewhat low acidity, bit of sweetness. Very enjoyable. |

2011 Esterlina MerlotCole Ranch more |
3/4/2017 - Leomania Likes this wine: 88 pointsThinner, more restrained than some past vintages (there was the epic 2006). Good acidity, should have paired with an appropriate meal. |

2007 Full Pull & Friends Cabernet SauvignonColumbia Valley more |
3/2/2017 - Leomania Likes this wine: 92 pointsSaw a note by Fingers indicating possible "past its prime" status so I quickly opened a bottle. Not to worry, it's doing just fine. Somewhat restrained upon initial pour, opened up in the glass nicely over the course of an hour. Terrific nose. Unfortunately, no other notes taken. 1 person found this helpful, do you?

2012 Suncé Aleatico Serres Ranch VineyardSonoma Valley more |
3/4/2017 - Leomania Likes this wine: 91 pointsTo me, this wine is simply amazing; never tasted anything like it. Red berry fruit with a strong floral component gives way to olive brine, acidity and a bit of minerality. Not a lot of tannins in evidence. Fun but a little serious. I have no experience with this vareital but I'd say drink now, you won't regret it. |
