2/21/2013 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 90 pointsDon't think this wine deserves the 3 Glasses rating by the Italian Wine Magazine, but it was OK. For a price of $9 per bottle, I like it for everyday drinking. |

10/19/2012 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 93 pointsRated at 99 points by that Italian wine expert, Luca Maroni, who supposedly is a really tough rater. But I felt it only rated 93 points at best. But it is a nice wine, especially for the price. |

2005 Clos ApaltaRed Bordeaux Blend more |
10/15/2008 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 93 pointsI bought six bottles even before it was named WOTY in 2008. I immediately opened and drank the first bottle upon receipt and was a little disappointed since I thought it was a little harsh, high in acid, and high in tannins. I drank another bottle in 2010 and it was better, and a third bottle in 2011 and it was still a little better. I think I will cellar my last three bottle for consumption in about 2 years. |

2010 Gnarly Head Authentic RedLodi Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel more |
9/27/2012 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 90 pointsI have a friend who has always told me that Gnarly Head is a great everyday drinking wine. So I have tried a couple of bottles of the cab over the last couple of years and did not especially like it. But then I tried this Authentic Red from Costco and found it to be outstanding for the price. So this is a real keeper. |

Even my son and DIL agrees with me and between us we have probably already bought 5 cases from Costco and will buy more next week. |

12/11/2012 - ManjuDaddy wrote: 80 pointsI thought this was a pretty bad wine -- harsh, acidic, and very high in tannins. I bought a case and drank one bottle, and gave away three bottles -- all three recipients of the wine thought it was bad too. I returned the other bottles for store credit. |

2006 Staglin Family Cabernet Sauvignon EstateRutherford more |
8/11/2011 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 93 pointsI bought two bottle of this one from BevMo when I was wandering around their store one day. I asked the gal what "very good" wine should I buy for a nice dinner with a good friend of mine and this was recommended to me. Pretty stupid of me for believing anybody from BevMo and buying from them, but WTH, maybe I was drunk or something. I do like this wine somewhat, but not at $200 a bottle. I think I have much better cabs in my cellar. |

11/29/2012 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 93 pointsI like this cab. I drank this bottle right after we consumed the 2007 Dunn Howell Mountain cab with steaks. We were still eating the steaks when I opened this bottle. So maybe my rating is skewed from drinking the Dunn cab? But I liked this wine, especially for the price of $30. |

2007 Dunn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountainmore |
11/29/2012 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 97 pointsI now have consumed two bottle of this vintage from my two case purchase a few months ago. Both of these bottles were great and I, and those that drank it with me, had it with red meat -- steaks specifically. I would agree with RP's rating on this one. I think this one is great, especially for the price. |

6/6/2012 - ManjuDaddy wrote: 92 pointsWW of BevMo rated this wine as a 93. I was pleasantly surprised to say that I would rate it at 92 points, since I normally think that WW over-rates the wines that BevMo sells. But I got this at their five cents sale price for effectively $10 per bottle. I got a case and have been enjoying this cheap zin for a while now. |

5/17/2011 - ManjuDaddy wrote: 90 pointsI just had to add my own opinion here. I bought six bottles about 4 years (??) ago and drank one. I did not especially like it and thought that it's WOTY rating was based on the price/value ratio. So I just cellared the other five bottles--open one this year and I don't think it got much better. What was the WS rater thinking when they rated this wine as the WOTY? Very disappointed, but I guess we cannot really be upset due to the price (at that time). Do you find this review helpful?

5/17/2011 - ManjuDaddy wrote: 96 pointsI got my case order a couple of weeks ago and opened a bottle for dinner with a friend who also likes great reds. I was pleasantly surprised with the nose, color, depth, and taste of this wine--I thought it would be a little to young. But it was terrific and shows much promise of getting better with a little age. I would agree with the ratings of the expert raters! |

4/4/2011 - ManjuDaddy wrote: 96 pointsI received my shipment on Friday, 4/1/11, and opened a bottle on Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised at both the taste, color, and smell of this young wine. I expected it to be a little brash and young, but it was well balanced and very, very nice. I did not have to let it breathe long, just an hour or so and I would agree with the WS rating of 96 points. I should have ordered more. |

2007 Long Meadow Ranch Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
2/18/2011 - ManjuDaddy Likes this wine: 91 pointsWE #5 Wine of 2010, rated by them at 96 points. Opened a bottle last night from the recent case that I purchased. To be expected, it was a little young, but did not have any indication of being highly tannic or acidic. In fact, it was very nice and comparable to any good $50 - $75 bottle of cab. I could tell that with a little more time, it would be a great wine, and like the experts have said, it will probably be best after 2014. But it lived up to its rating and I think it is very drinkable now. But right now, I would only rate it at 91 points. It is now 12/12 and I have consumed most of my bottles, and it has not changed much, so I will cellar my last two bottles for at least two more years before consuming them. But in retrospect, I do not think that this is a $44 bottle of wine; maybe $20 at best. |

7/14/2010 - ManjuDaddy wrote: 93 pointsLike the others said, it take a little time for this wine to breathe. But after a while, it is pretty darn good. Great with steaks and red meat. Have had two bottle already and have experienced the same thing both times. Don't just pop the cork and drink it. Give it about 2 hours to breathe first. |

2007 Brancaia Tre Toscana IGTSuperTuscan Blend more |
5/4/2010 - ManjuDaddy wrote: 91 pointsI would agree that this wine is very good considering the price. The WS rating of 93 must be heavily weighted on the pricing. But if this wine is cellared for a couple of years, it would be better. My first impression upon opening one bottle last night was good and I enjoyed it. I will probably cellar about 8 bottles from the case I bought. |
