2011 Williams Selyem Unoaked ChardonnayRussian River Valley more |
8/4/2013 - lpoollad99 wrote: 88 pointsLight summer wine that balances tropical tones with a mineral base. A light golden hue that suggests its body style - flavorful and certainly something different when compared to the buttery Chard's we have become accustomed to out of No Cal. |

2009 Château Belles-GravesLalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
8/4/2013 - lpoollad99 Likes this wine: 91 pointsReally nice and enjoyable wine - light in body with its Merlot base showing through. Earthy nose with an elegant almost fruity flavor. Could only find a single bottle here in Oregon and would love to find more. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2007 Paradigm Cabernet SauvignonOakville more |
7/24/2013 - lpoollad99 Likes this wine: 92 pointsCherries and leather on the nose - fantastic deep red hue - light on the tongue for something so colorful - soft tannins with a great finish - wish I had another bottle. Very solid wine and thoroughly recommended. |

2011 Truett-Hurst Old Vine Zinfandel Rattler RockDry Creek Valley more |
7/19/2013 - lpoollad99 wrote: 85 pointsReally not sure what to make of this wine - very fruit forward with tons of strawberry jam but seems to bounce around on the tongue with no clear direction - for me....an 85 might be high |

2010 Razi ChardonnayNapa Valley more |
7/11/2013 - lpoollad99 Likes this wine: 91 pointsWith its deep straw hue, the full bodied Chardonnay has a nose of butterscotch and tropical fruit - almost sweet on the tongue with a lengthy finish. A fun wine for all seasons. |

2008 Stonestreet Chardonnay Red PointAlexander Valley more |
7/5/2013 - lpoollad99 wrote: 90 pointsLow production (185 cases) high alcohol (14.8%) Chardonnay that carries a deep straw hue. While sitting under the Alexander Valley fog line, the low growing elevation certainly pulls heat from the valley floor leading to a tropical nose and long finish. Dense and full bodied. |

NV Monticelli Brothers Rolando RossoNapa Valley Red Blend more |
6/26/2013 - lpoollad99 wrote: 92 pointsA wine with a great story - which ties to it not having a vintage attached - each year, the Monticelli Brothers bottle 50% of the barreled nectar, replacing it with new wine - giving this wine an average age of 6 years. Fantastic with rich pasta dishes and highly recommended. |

2009 Stonestreet Cabernet Sauvignon RockfallAlexander Valley more |
6/26/2013 - lpoollad99 wrote: 89 pointsDecanted in the glass with a layered nose of currants and spice (pepper). Big tannins, astringent and maybe a little earthy - should have left it cellared - does seem to have potential. |

2006 Burly Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
6/15/2013 - lpoollad99 wrote: 90 pointsA big Napa Cabernet that was decanted for 90 minutes before drinking. Can't go wrong with any other of Burly vintages - always recommended. |

2010 Stonestreet Sauvignon BlancAlexander Valley more |
5/11/2013 - lpoollad99 wrote: 90 pointsI always seem to enjoy all of the whites I drink from Stonestreet. This small production (387 case) Sauvignon Blanc does not disappoint - definately a great white for a warm spring afternoon. Grapefruit, pear and candy apple on the nose, solidly balanced with slight acidity that seems to tie it all together. Would certainly recommend and drink again. |

2008 Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valleymore |
5/10/2013 - lpoollad99 Likes this wine: 90 pointsAlways consistent, It's hard to go wrong with a Jordan Cab. Found a great distributor out of Portland Oregon, Sec Wines, that I would highly recommend for the purchase of Jordan wines. |

2004 Burly Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
3/26/2013 - lpoollad99 Likes this wine: 94 pointsI love the wines made by Massimo Monticelli. The Burly brand is exceptional across all vintages. I cellared this for many years - waiting for the right moment to open as i only had one bottle and opened while traveling on business with a friend about to be deployed to Qatar. Great wine, great dinner at Carnevor in Milwaukee and certainly worth the wait and effort to carry across the country. |

2007 Alexander Valley Vineyards CyrusRed Bordeaux Blend more |
8/18/2012 - lpoollad99 wrote: 90 pointsI agree with all who have posted that this will improve over time however, it was very well received by all this afternoon who had the chance to taste. A spiced nose similar to a Jordan Cab, the '07 Cyrus seems layered in both texture and taste. Astringent and oak'd for sure - one of those bottles you wish you would have left unopened to explore in later years. |

2009 Stonestreet Chardonnay Broken RoadAlexander Valley more |
8/18/2012 - lpoollad99 wrote: 91 pointsI love the complexity of Stonestreets chardonnay's. The '09 Broken Road will not disappoint. Balanced with equal amounts of fruit and butter, it lingers on the tongue, astringent yet flavorful. |

2009 Jordan Vineyard & Winery Chardonnay Russian River Valleymore |
8/17/2012 - lpoollad99 wrote: 89 pointsFloral with light buttery undertones. I like all of Jordan's Chardonnays and rarely do not have at least one bottle on hand. Chilled on a summer afternoon - good times with good friends. |
