4/24/2024 - Uff Da wrote: 93 pointsWell, 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. |

3/28/2024 - Looney Likes this wine: 89 pointsHelles 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. |

4/24/2024 - crazywineguy Likes this wine: 90 pointsRhubarb 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 FrancArizona more |
4/24/2024 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 91 pointsRetail $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. |

4/25/2024 - MrOctoberfest Likes this wine: NRMy 2nd Goodfellow wine this week. The other reviews are spot on. Delicious, gulpable and I wish I’d ordered six cases of this stuff, and not six bottles. Also, this has a beautiful, unique color. |

2019 Marcel Lapierre Morgon Cuvée Marcel LapierreGamay more |
4/24/2024 - jlhkiss Likes this wine: 91 pointsOpened 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. |

4/24/2024 - michael47 Likes this wine: 92 pointsFound 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. |

4/24/2024 - Burgundy Al wrote: 94 pointsI 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. |

4/24/2024 - thalver wrote: 90 pointsHaving 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 |
