2019 Château PoesiaSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/24/2024 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NRJammy Zinfandel-like nose with hints of raspberry and cola. Sweet red fruit excites the upper palate with lingering finish. Tannins are grippy yet refined. Great price point. I'm a fan. |

2/10/2024 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NRLemony nose with hint of sea breeze. Briny, nice acidity. Paired great with food. Drank way too young. Will try to refrain from drinking the remaining bottles for at least five years. |

2015 Shea Wine Cellars Pinot Noir Block 7 Shea VineyardWillamette Valley more |
11/20/2023 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NROutstanding. The best of the 2015 Shea line up to date. Ripe cherry on the nose. Excites all dimensions of the palate. Cherry cola on a long finish. Very fruit forward. Seamless. Although in a very good place now, this should only get better over the next five years. |

2015 Domaine Santa Duc Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau OuestRed Rhone Blend more |
3/23/2023 - kanab ram Likes this wine: NRColor and nose reminds me of an Oregon Pinot Noir. Forest floor and potpourri with a hint of dark berry. Heavy, syrupy mouth feel that starts out soft and juicy on front of palate and leads to a very dry medium finish. Very pleasant with food. I did not get the metallic notes that others had mentioned. Note sure I agree with the 96 given by Parker but probably somewhere in the low 90s would be more appropriate for me. |
