4/20/2023 - krmcgrath Likes this wine: 89 pointsInteresting. I’m definitely more in BOTTLESCHOLAR’s camp then PORTLAND SETH’s (who I'm generally aligned with) on this one. I get all the smokey, meaty, tobacco notes complicating dark cherry and something blacker. I’m not really getting the cloying, flabby cough syrup vibe. Maybe a bit blocky and straight forward and not what you would call elegant but I’m good with the $20 spent. Bottle variation? |

9/15/2022 - krmcgrath Likes this wine: 89 pointsDark cherry, dark chocolate and coffee. Oily. Herbs. Enough acidity to counter balance. Rustic and a little stemmy but no green. Working for me on this Thursday night. |

2018 Château Le Rey Les ArgileusesCastillon Côtes de Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/22/2022 - krmcgrath wrote: 87 pointsDefinitely fruity but with no layering depth. Lots of scorched earthy notes and drying, somewhat green tannins dominating the finish. Not bad but also not really interesting or satisfying and not ideal on it’s own. Don’t think this is one that just needs some more time, it is what it is. |

2011 Mckinley Springs Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hillsmore |
11/23/2019 - krmcgrath wrote: 89 pointsReally tasty but with a green Cab Franc kinda vibe. Dark fruit, brambly earthy notes and fairly big smooth tannins. Great with food and good on it's own. |

1/2/2019 - krmcgrath Likes this wine: 89 pointsI really like this wine. Rustic and honest, it's dark and juicy with surprisingly good balance. Food friendly but fine on it's own. Nearly perfect for Wednesday night at under $10. |
