2007 Osprey's Dominion Vineyards Merlot ReserveNorth Fork more |
11/10/2014 - LINY08 wrote: 89 pointsAgree with previous review. Fruit is still there but it is fading a little. Tannins are completely integrated. Nice dark fruit and coffee notes with a whiff of earth. Drink now until 2016. |

8/8/2014 - LINY08 wrote: 90 pointsDark purple, almost black. As others noted...cigar box, big notes of black licorice, plum and blackberry. Nice mouthfeel with smooth leather like texture. Medium body and decent length and texture. Tannins are still present but well integrated. Well balanced and enjoyable. |

2007 Channing Daughters MuddLong Island Red Blend more |
4/21/2014 - LINY08 wrote: 88 pointsGreat nose, nice mouthfeel with rich texture, cherry cola, spice from the Syrah and medium finish. Drank well but agree with other reviewers...with minimal tannins left this is probably best sipped alone or paired with lighter fare. |

2010 Bedell MerlotNorth Fork more |
4/14/2014 - LINY08 wrote: 88 pointsBedell always does a nice job with their merlot. Recommend decanting for an hour or two prior to drinking. Or, give another year in the cellar. Very good, but has room to improve, too. 87-88 |

2010 Simi Cabernet Sauvignon Landslide Alexander Valleymore |
4/14/2014 - LINY08 wrote: 91 pointsWhat a nice wine. Agree with past reviewer, could use a couple more years for everything to integrate, but this is one to watch. Strong acidity with long finish where cab franc kicks in. |
