1/21/2024 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis producer always delivers! This wine seems to balance concentration and finesse. Lots of spice, olives, and black berries. Super aromatic as well. Glad to have another 5 bottles. |

2018 Ferrando Carema Black Label (Etichetta Nera)Nebbiolo more |
1/5/2024 - kosdogger Does not like this wine: 88 pointsHave had the white label before and really enjoyed. This one fell flat. It’s thin, lacks fruit, and has no finish. I know these wines are more on the feminine side but this was just weak and uninteresting. |

2016 Trimbach Riesling Frédéric EmileAlsace more |
12/30/2023 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 90 pointsKind of expected more from this wine. It’s sort of hollow and feels incomplete relative to other vintages. It lacks fruit and finishes dry and short. Curious if age will lead to improvement. Will sit on other bottles for a few years to assess. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

11/30/2023 - kosdogger wrote: 88 pointsNot enjoying this wine. It’s nondescript and lacking any terroir. It’s kind of jammy and feels high alcohol. Been open 60+ minutes and giving up for the night. It definitely needs time and air so will revisit tomorrow. |

10/13/2023 - kosdogger Does not like this wine: 90 pointsThird time having this wine. This wine just didn’t hit. Paired with a streak. It’s disjointed. Not balanced, not much of a finish, and a bit hollow. Oh well Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2019 Pisoni Pinot Noir EstateSanta Lucia Highlands more |
10/7/2023 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 94 pointsQuite impressed as this is my first experience with this wine. Happy to have two more bottles. As much as I enjoyed this wine, I suspect it will be even better in 3-5 years. Lots of spice box, red fruit, and chewy tannins. Going to let the others sleep for a while but happy I bought this vintage and the 2021! |

7/15/2023 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis is really good! If you like Napa fruit but also like a more restrained wine this is for you! Start to finish a delicious wine. Super impressed. |

6/8/2023 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 94 pointsGunpowder and citrus on the nose. By memory, compared the 2018 this much better acidity and mouthfeel. Happily drink this all day! |

2008 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi BoschisNebbiolo more |
4/13/2023 - kosdogger Does not like this wine: 88 pointsNot an easy drinker. Gave it a healthy decant and the wine showed a bit of promise at first. It then became tannic and very dry finish. 15 years in and I guess it’s “too young blah blah blah” but I am dubious this wine ever really evolves into a great wine. AG put drinking window as 2018-33; if this in prime drinking window I guess I am just not a fan. |

3/1/2023 - kosdogger Does not like this wine: 85 pointsPerhaps I will revise my view over the next few hours but this is very disappointing. It’s super dry without any fruit. Can’t drink it |

2018 The Vineyardist Cabernet Sauvignon Calarcadia VineyardDiamond Mountain more |
2/12/2023 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 95 pointsSuper refined tannins! We rarely finish a full bottle and this one just went. Not sure this needs to be aged. Just feels like on of those premium fruit Napa wines that won’t necessarily gain further complexity with age. Have a few more so will wait a few more years and see how it evolves. |

1/8/2023 - kosdogger Does not like this wine: NROne of those nights that nothing I opened worked including this dud- no fruit. Maybe shut down or just a bad bottle |

11/16/2022 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 95 pointsTasted at an Oakville Growers wine tasting in NYC. This wine stood out amongst many producers- great weight, balance, and structure. Suspect this wine will only improve with age. Glad to have bought some. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2010 Joseph Drouhin Beaune 1er Cru Clos des Mouches RougePinot Noir more |
11/14/2022 - kosdogger Does not like this wine: 89 pointsNot a great showing....overall, tight, lacking fruit, and a bit of a struggle to drink. The Burg enthusiasts will say it was not ready. Could be the case, but have had more current vintages of this wine that were far superior. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2010 Pierre Gonon St. JosephSyrah more |
10/28/2022 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 92 pointsEarthy wine that is drinking very well. Paired with the 2010 Jamet Cote-Rotie which was perhaps unfair as the Jamet was silky, floral, and way more graceful. |

2006 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave HermitageSyrah more |

8/11/2022 - kosdogger Does not like this wine: 86 pointsJust don’t get it. It’s too much of everything for my taste and over-priced for that reason. Too much vanilla, too rich and oaky, and detect too much alcohol. |

2015 Bedrock Wine Co. Heritage Wine Pagani RanchSonoma Valley Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel more |
6/2/2022 - kosdogger Likes this wine: 93 pointsIn a great spot- it's a real mix of red and blue fruits. Tannins are really soft and there is a good tension to this wine. This wine would please a lot of crowds as it is super easy to drink and the fruit is excellent. Glad I sat on a few and waited to open |

5/28/2022 - kosdogger wrote: 96 pointsA flawless bottle of chardonnay that I suspect will only gain more complexity with age. Really long finish and medium bodied wine and may simply be the best domestic chard I have experienced. |

4/8/2022 - kosdogger Likes this wine: NRLesson learned.....first time with this wine and I opened it WAY too early....by hour 4 it was starting to show itself. It will be an excellent wine in the future (best guess is to give it 3-5 years min) as all the goods are there and you can tell it's really well made. |
