Lovely, fresh, and balanced. A representative example of the pure but fun expression zins can achieve.

Well, just when you think you’ve had outstanding Cabs from Walla Walla, this one will still pleasantly surprise you. All the classic hallmarks are there, but there is an added layer of allure and depth. Can’t wait to revisit on a few years.

2015 Thummerer Winery Eger Egri Kadarka Grand Superior

Red Blend more

3/28/2024 - Looney Likes this wine: 89 points

Helles Ziegelrot mit ausgeprägten Aromen Sauerkirsche, Mokka, Schokolade und abgehangenes Fleisch in Erinnerung rufend. Nach dem Belüften werden auch Noten getrockneter Beeren sowie Amarenakirsche und ein Hauch dezenter Würze erinnernd an getrocknete Kräuter und Holz wahrnehmbar. Weich und strukturiert am Gaumen mit animierender Säure, samtigen Tanninen und feiner Textur. Der Ausklang ist anschwellend und wärmend, unterlegt mit zarter Bitternote sowie angenehm schokoladigem Nachhall. Im Bordeaux Rotweinglas und bei kühler Raumtemperatur, 15-16°C, servieren.

Seine kräftige Struktur lässt sich bestens mit grillierten roten Fleischstücken, gebratenen Würsten oder leichten Wildgerichten paaren. Aber auch zu Bollito Misto, gebratener Ente, mit Sauerkraut gefüllter Paprika oder gereiftem Weichkäse harmoniert er wunderbar.

Die Rebsorte stammt aus dieser Region und ist in Aromatik sowie Textur Pinot Noir ähnlich. Die Weinbauregion Eger liegt nordöstlich der Hauptstadt Budapest. Aufgrund des warmen Pannonischen Klimas gedeihen hier besonders rote Sorten. Familie Thummerer führt das Gut seit 40 Jahren und bewirtschaftet alles in allem 100 Hektaren Rebland. Das Herzstück der Domäne bildet der in den Tuffstein gegrabene Keller, der einerseits als Lagerstätte für die Fässer dient, andererseits einen Verkostungsraum mit traditionellen Holzöfen beherbergt.

Rhubarb and charcoal on the nose. Quite dense and concentrated. Tertiary fruit characters from the nose but with a green herbal twist. Slightly unusual profile. Very smooth. Medium bodied - a food wine.

2020 ARIDUS Cabernet Franc

Arizona more

4/24/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 91 points

Retail $50. Heavy Bottle (). Under cork. You could probably count the number of wines I have tried from Arizona on one hand and if you exclude the wines from Aridus, well, I would not need a hand at all. This, however, *is* the first Cab Franc and it is pretty fantastic. I expected a bunch of fruit, not much acidity, and well, not much more. A funny thing happened: good fruit, a bit of earth, an herbal note, and plenty of tartness. Yeah, this is pretty darned good. 91 Points.

2021 Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling

Columbia Valley more

4/24/2024 - red freddy Likes this wine: 90 points

Impulse Purchase @ Total Wine
I was seeking a Ste Michelle Gewurztraminer that I had previously had good results with (I recently had a Boeckel Gewurztraminer Midelberg that was good, but found a little too sweet for my taste). Total Wine did not have Ste Michelle Gewurz, but suggested a Ste Michelle (off-dry) Reisling. I opted for their 'Dry' Reisling instead of the 'Off-Dry."
13.0% abv - $10

Served @ 10c/50F with Sauteed Shrimp over Fettuccine and Salad.

Pale yellow on the pour and in the glass. Nose of citrus and white flowers. Light-bodied, citrus on the palate with some peach notes. Pleasant acidity refreshing the palate. Just a hint of sweet, any more sweetness would detract from the overall impression and experience. Nice, pleasantly tart finish!
Excellent accompaniment to the shrimp pasta entree. Spouse Endorsed; I'll get more.

2019 Marcel Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Marcel Lapierre

Gamay more

4/24/2024 - jlhkiss Likes this wine: 91 points

Opened and paired with grilled chicken and mixed salad. Cloudy purple with a crimson hue. Floral nose brings purple lavender, red roses, nutmeg, cinnamon spices, and orange peel. The palate is medium-large, square, and compact, bringing a hard core of raspberries and sour rhubarb followed by high-toned pomegranate/cherry notes, wood smoke, and black tea into a tannic finish. This will be best 2026-2036. Technical score: 92. Enjoyment score: 90.

BTG. Berry with orchard fruit, plenty of bready notes bordering yeasty for such a current version of the wine. On the ultra bright side, just able to retain its good sense of balance. Enjoyable, but once again not a Champagne that thrills me.

Found a bottle that was opened at least 6 months ago and was half full with no argon. Surprised how delicious it still was, with layers of roasted nuts, fig, chestnut honey with a surprising level of crisp acids to balance out the sweetness. Amazing QPR if you like these rich sherries.

I haven't had this wine in over a decade, and no surprise, the wine is better now than ever before. Spiced and floral start with roasted beef and so much black fruit. Spice is the star here, this is wonderfully complex and layered. Still so young with miles to go.

Having been through several bottles of this since fall, this wine strikes me as still displaying plenty of tannin-structure, One bottle was funky (TCA-like), but the off-putting aroma didn't seem to be present in the taste. One more recent bottle seemed to have more subdued tannins.....these probably need a couple years. That probably won't happen here 89-91 pts

4/24/2024 - MrOctoberfest Likes this wine: NR

Finally! After a long run of disappointing Baroli (which actually had me questioning if I’d fallen out of love with Nebbiolo), I finally had one that reminded me why I fell in love with the Langhe in the first place.

The tannins are prominent, but they are “polished” and not too upsetting. More importantly, there is great fruit, spice and a little menthol to go along with a COMPLETE lack of nail polish remover. This is such a pretty wine, even though it is a long way from maturity.
