2019 Bodega Garzón Albariño ReservaMaldonado more |
7/11/2021 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 90 pointsReally enjoyable wine - fantastic QPR. Almost a cross between a Sauvignon Blanc and a Pinot Grigio. Crisp and satisfying. Lemon and citrus, along with tropical fruits. Gives clear indication of its warmer weather origins. |

2016 Nicolette Christopher Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
7/11/2021 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 89 pointsMuch more enjoyable than my first taste with the Coravin. This time I left it open for an hour before drinking. Cherry and red fruit, but a bit muted and balanced. Vegetal tones in both the nose and the palate. |

2017 Liparita Heritage Cabernet Sauvignon Atlas Peak - Napa Valley Atlas Peakmore |
4/14/2023 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 90 pointsBlueberry and overripe raspberries on the nose. Really nice bouquet. Mostly primary notes on the palate. The oak is mellowing from years prior as well. Red and black fruits on the palate, bit of graphite. Still very young - fruit forward. Tannins and acid are plentiful. Will try again in two years. |

2014 Michel Rolland Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
4/20/2024 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 95 pointsPNP through an aerator. Huge, big and bold. One of the most intense cabs we have had in a while. Spouse loved it, seemed a bit too much for me. Still lots of fruit, corners are rounding off. Will try again in a few years. |

2011 Levy & McClellan Et AlNapa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon more |
3/4/2022 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 94 pointsReally enjoyable bottle. Nice dark ruby color. Floral, green pepper, vegetal, leather and moss on the nose. Very subtle and refined. Light cherry and cedar on the palate, strong acidity, but light tannins. Long legs, and a medium long finish. There is a very slight bitterness, but it almost makes it interesting and not annoying. Overall - fantastic. Worthy QPR. |

2016 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon The Reserve To-Kalon VineyardOakville more |
3/17/2021 - MrSkimo wrote: 90 pointsExotic bouquet upon opening, but completely disappeared after a few minutes. All the taste is on the front of the tongue. Black pepper, green pepper, vegetable notes, hint of tobacco and forest floor. No red/blue/black fruits. Not a bad flavor, but hits a single note. No orchestra. 5 people found this helpful, do you?

3/13/2022 - MrSkimo Likes this wine: 92 points2 years since we last tried it. It has really come into its own. Still very bright with plenty of acid and tannin. Forest floor and earth dominate the nose, but a slight graphite and leather are definitely there. |
