2/2/2024 - azwino Likes this wine: NRWow - what an excellent bottle of wine. We did not try it in its youth, but this was still vibrant and very full. Not over the hill, but finish might be slightly thinner than it would have been. Still a great blend of fruit with tertiary flavors. Great with a grilled fillet and mushrooms - really helped express the deeper flavors. |

12/3/2023 - azwino wrote: NRDecanted. Initially very closed, but with air and coming to proper temp the wine opened. Started really hitting its stride after about 2 to 3 hours. Nice, soft tannins, resolved acidity. Soft dark fruit, with warm winter spice. The alcohol is not hot but keeps it warm. |

2014 Caduceus Cellars Primer PasoCochise County Syrah Blend, Syrah more |
10/6/2023 - azwino wrote: NRWaited too long to open this. Heavy vapors of prune and balsamic, which dissipated over time. The syrah flavors came through, but the fruit was not strong enough to overcome the balsamic and tartness. |

2017 Lakewood Vineyards GlaciovinumFinger Lakes White Blend more |
3/25/2023 - azwino wrote: NRNot what I was expecting. Deep copper in color - flavors or apple and golden raisn. This is way more madiera like than a ice wine. I had a Inniskillin Cab Franc ice wine recently, which was bright and delicious. Either this is a different style or its oxidized. |

2017 Emeritus Vineyards Pinot Noir Hallberg RanchRussian River Valley more |
3/25/2023 - azwino wrote: NRRed fruit aromas and a touch of baking spice. Raspberry / strawberry flavors but heavier - almost jammy. Initially a little odd balsamic finish, but that passed as it opened. Finish is medium with a touch of the acidity making itself known. |

2011 Bodegas Alto Moncayo Garnacha Campo de Borjamore |
10/22/2022 - azwino wrote: NRDecanted for about 30 minutes. Aromas of dark fruit, however the initial flavor profile was a lot more raisiny than the aroma let on. The acidity was a bit out of balance as the primary flavors were faded. But as the wine opened in the glass, the raisin flavor faded and the earthiness and dark fruit stepped up. I have one more left, it needs a longer decant but it may not benefit with continued cellaring … |

10/12/2022 - azwino wrote: NRWilypod's note is spot on, but there is also a touch of savory that emerges as it opens, and can add a bit of bitterness after about 3 hours. The sweetness carries through from the aroma to the palate, and all they way through to a fairly lengthy finish. My last of this vintage. |

10/1/2022 - azwino wrote: NRDecanted for about an hour. Was initially still closed; but started expressing stronger aroma closer to the two hour mark. Dark fruit, with some mineral and earthiness; one taster mentioned green notes and tobacco. Notes of classic Rutherford dust, good finish. |

2012 Smith-Madrone Cabernet SauvignonSpring Mountain District more |
9/10/2022 - azwino Likes this wine: NRDeep purple in color. Decanted for about 30 minutes, but could have used longer time. Thought it was closed off at first, but then open to have a combination of dark fruit flavors, with some cedar and chocolate. A bit of cinnamon type spice on the finish. Excellent bottle of wine. |

2011 Hunt McKay Cabernet Sauvignon Morisoli VineyardsRutherford more |
8/27/2022 - azwino wrote: NRWow - not showing its age. Still fruit forward on aroma and flavor - reminds me of of blue berry pie. The wine is dry with a full mouth feel. Tannins and acid are fully resolved, and a finish that goes on. Opens to have some green pepper notes. Day 2 - still going and not faded. Wish I had more! |
