2004 Beringer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Private ReserveNapa Valley more |
1/7/2012 - pedwards wrote: 94 pointsReally nice restrained Napa cab. Extremely impressed by this. Blackberries, chocolate and cedar. Silky smooth and nice acidity and smooth tannins that balance this out. Delicious. No heat or oak to this. |

2006 Bodegas El Nido Jumilla ClioRed Blend more |
1/8/2010 - pedwards wrote: 93 pointsThis wine has evolved nicely and softened up since trying it a year ago to the week. Dark dark purple in color with a mesmerizing nose of dark fruits, cola, licorice and toasted coconut. I can smell this for days. On the palate dark fruits, nice acidity and well integrated tannins. Transition from mid palate to finish was seamless and 15.5% alcohol was not noticed. Did I mention that the finish just lasted and lasted. Love this wine!! 2010 is off to a great start. |

2007 Sojourn Pinot Noir Gap's Crown Vineyard Sonoma Coastmore |
11/25/2010 - pedwards wrote: 93 pointsThird bottle opened for Thanksgiving so no formal notes taken. Color was a dark ruby, darker than the Sojourn Sonoma Coast PN, with beautiful aromas of strawberries and cherry soda. Silky, velvet, red fruits and just an elegant pinot. Loved it. |

2004 Copain Syrah Hawks Butte VineyardYorkville Highlands more |
9/22/2011 - pedwards wrote: 93 pointsWow - One of the better bottles tasted in 2011. 30 min decant. Rich deep dark color verging on black. On the nose I got hit with gaminess, raspberries and herbs. First thing that came to mind was blood sausage. Somewhat like smelling a meal. On the palate, so smooth with the same flavors as the nose suggests. My first Copain and struck me as Old World style which I seem to lean towards. |

1/4/2011 - pedwards wrote: 93 pointsOh man is this a good bottle of wine!! My first experience with Carlisle and quite impressed. Nose of dark fruits and on the palate.....WOW....raspberry ganache, blackberries, tannins keep all flavors in place and nice acidity. The balance is incredible. What a QPR at $20. Need to seek out more. |

2010 Rhys Pinot Noir San Mateo Countymore |
5/3/2013 - pedwards wrote: 93 pointsFirst experience with Rhys and Wow!!! Decanted for 1 hr and the floral aromas and baking spices filled the room. On the palate a burst of red fruits and spice linger on and on with a medium bodied and beautiful mouthfeel. This is delicious now and look forward to the next bottle. Elegant and well made. |

Velvety, elegant and extremely rich mouthfeel and the finish went on and on. Just a delicious wine. I am loving this winery. |

5/6/2010 - pedwards wrote: 92 pointsSame as previous note from 01/23/10 but also found the finish to have high acidity, as beezer6 mentioned, in a good way. Just makes you want more (nothing wrong with that). Looking forward to visiting the tasting room in Sonoma next week. |

12/28/2010 - pedwards wrote: 91 pointsPop n Pour - On the nose tropical fruits, lime peel. Palate - medium body with honey, lime, peach and just the right acidity to balance the mild sweetness coming from the honey flavors and a 30 sec lingering finish. Overall this is a solid wine and at $9 might be my QPR for 2010. |

2008 Rhys Alesia Pinot Noir Sonoma Coastmore |
12/31/2011 - pedwards wrote: 91 pointsReally enjoyed this. Dark Ruby in color. Nose of baking spices, black cherries and a bit of funk (in a good way). Surprised by the light to medium weight on the palate. Lovely balance of cherries and acidity and the finish lingers for at least a minute. Well done. |

12/3/2010 - pedwards wrote: 91 pointsNice fruit and smooth. A bit of oak on day 1 which subsided the next day. A really tasty wine that I thoroughly enjoyed but not sure worth the $50 I paid for at the winery. |

Taste - Medium to full body with vibrant dark fruit, fresh acidity (not overbearing) and a cherry soda finish that just lasts and lasts and lasts. Really enjoyed this first bottle and look forward to buying a case. Worth the $20 price tag. |
