8/22/2013 - alwebb2000 wrote: 95 pointsBrilliant effort still going strong. Drank at the end of dinner at Luciana's in Dana point - a dessert in itself. Lots of boysenberry though not at all jammy. Just wonderful aromatics. |

2007 Le Cuvíer ZinfandelPaso Robles more |
7/31/2013 - alwebb2000 wrote: 93 pointsBig nose of blackberries and spice and noticeable alcohol. Bold and burly on the palate, that accompanied spicy lamb sausage pizza perfectly. Nicely balanced despite the alcohol. If you like a big, fruity complex Zinfandel, look no further. |

2006 Pipestone Reserve Chateauneuf de PipePaso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
7/17/2012 - alwebb2000 wrote: 94 pointsTook this wine to a Southern Rhone blind tasting. Blew away two Parker 95 CDP's. Sadly I was unable to pick out this wine as even new world much less Paso. Beautifully aromatic, smooth, balanced. 4 first place votes out of the 11 wines present. The group bought 18 bottles. WOTN and best bottle I've opened so far. |

4/27/2012 - alwebb2000 wrote: 88 pointsTasted at Wally's Napa tasting. Very nice red fruit intensity up front, fades on the mid-palate without much of a finish. For ripe, fruity, vanilla and oak.. you may enjoy this. Others in our group did. We were not fans especially at this price point. |
