2020 Au Bon Climat Pinot Noir Runway VineyardSanta Maria Valley more |
4/26/2024 - ed-d Likes this wine: 93 pointsMu favorite single vineyard offering from ABC. Light and precisely flavorful. Not a big mouth filling style but very tasty. |

2009 Alain Voge Cornas Cuvée Vieilles FontainesSyrah more |
4/26/2024 - ed-d Likes this wine: 92 pointsStarting to soften up a tad. Still youthful but very pleasant to drink now and for the foreseeable future. |

2022 Kirkland Signature Pinot Noir Russian River Valleymore |
2/28/2024 - ed-d Does not like this wine: 83 pointsNose & flavors are dominated by vanilla oak. There's good fruit here but it is overwhelmed by the oak. A Pinot Noir for Silver Oak drinkers. Not my style but some might like it. |

1998 Renato Ratti Nebbiolo d'Alba Ochettimore |
2/10/2024 - ed-d wrote: 90 pointsProof that old Nebbiolo is the best. Still a vibrant color with only slight tints of orange on the rim. Very full & rich with the acidity & tannins tamed to perfection. Showing well for a "little" wine. |

1996 Bodegas Alejandro Fernández Ribera del Duero Tinto PesqueraTempranillo more |
11/2/2023 - ed-d Likes this wine: 98 pointsIt doesn't get any better than this! A 27 year old Ribera del Duero that is as vibrant as the day it was bottled. A true testament to the genius of Alejandro Fernandez and a great vintage in Ribera. It may get even better but if you have any of this vintage, why wait. |

1996 Weingut Baron Knyphausen Erbacher Siegelsberg Riesling EisweinRheingau more |

2019 Lucien Muzard BourgognePinot Noir more |
3/25/2023 - ed-d Does not like this wine: 86 pointsA bit too acidic for me. Flavors are there you just can't get past the acidity. Pucker up for this one. |

2019 Kirkland Signature Chianti Classico RiservaChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese more |
3/25/2023 - ed-d Likes this wine: 88 pointsVery serviceable for $8.99 from Costco. Affordable to accompany a weekday pasta. Nice. |

2020 Domaine Corne-Loup TavelRed Rhone Blend more |
12/11/2022 - ed-d wrote: 87 pointsVery dark in color & very vinous on the palate. Not your light, refreshing rose. More like a very light red wine. |

2019 Gibbs Cabernet FrancSt. Helena more |
12/11/2022 - ed-d wrote: 90 pointsGreat dark fruit flavors wrapped in a heavy dose of vanilla flavored oak. Lovely, if you can tolerate the oak. |

2016 Château Haut-Bailly La Parde de Haut BaillyPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
12/11/2022 - ed-d wrote: 87 pointsGood dark fruit on the nose and the palate. Semi-aggressive tannins are ok to wash down food. Fell apart by the next day. A bit of a disappointment. |

2014 Jordan Vineyard & Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valleymore |
11/12/2022 - ed-d wrote: 93 pointsOne thing that Jordan does well is build wines that age well. Lovely fruit and very little tannins left in this wine. Perfect for the dinner table. |

2019 Château de la Maltroye Bourgogne BlancChardonnay more |
11/12/2022 - ed-d wrote: 89 pointsVery oaky at this stage both in the nose & on the palate. Nice citrus fruit once this open up a bit. Needs time to settle down & let the oak integrate. |

2020 Tenuta Sant'Antonio Scaia Garganega ChardonnayTrevenezie Chardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more |
10/23/2022 - ed-d wrote: 89 pointsA very nice, refreshing blend. The Chardonnay gives the wine some depth of fruit while the Garganega provides structure and acidity. Very nicely done and affordable. |

2012 Ca' Marcanda (Gaja) MagariBolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/23/2022 - ed-d wrote: 93 pointsYou can always count of Gaja for high quality (at a price.) With a few years of age this was stellar. Unabashedly Italian and proud of it. |

2014 Maxville Lake Winery Cabernet FrancNapa Valley more |
10/23/2022 - ed-d Likes this wine: 93 pointsIf you are a Cabernet Franc fan, this winery is a sleeper with their version of the varietal. Everything a fan wants in a deeply fruited, herbaceous Cab Franc. |

2017 Livio Felluga Friuli Colli Orientali Friulanomore |
10/23/2022 - ed-d Likes this wine: 89 pointsFor interesting, affordable white table wines, Italy is the place to look. Even with a few years of age this was still vibrant and packed with fruit. Nicely done. |

2017 Duckhorn Vineyards Chardonnay Napa Valleymore |

2016 Domaine de Beaurenard (Paul Coulon et Fils) RasteauRed Rhone Blend more |
10/23/2022 - ed-d Likes this wine: 88 pointsFor my money there is not better value in everyday red table wine than Cote du Rhone, especially when you get into the village designations. This had a bit of age but was holding up nicely without any major signs of deterioration. Nicely done. |

10/23/2022 - ed-d Likes this wine: 89 pointsA very reliable producer of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. This Sonoma Coast bottling is the best of the myriad of offerings. Good fruit and acidity at a very reasonable price. Widely available. |
