2004 Bella Vista ZinfandelTemecula Valley more |
8/23/2010 - richardhod Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis is a very very good Zinfandel indeed. It would be rated even higher, but for the idiosyncratic winemakers not releasing their wines until they are at peak, meaning you can't keep them for long after they release them! this Zin is very tasty, but you can tell it's going to start going downhill soon.. and this is the newest Zin they have released! Lunacy... I like my wines mature, but I like the choice to try them younger too, as wine has many peaks. |

7/4/2010 - petitblanc wrote: 88 pointsDark but thinnish bing cherry color. Plenty of wood and spicy red fruits. A few hours of air helped integrate some of the ample tannins, revealing a generally clean wine with perhaps slightly excessive alcohol for my tastes. Overall a ripe style of tempranillo, showing plentiful tannins and berries. Simple and pleasant, if a bit thin. Drink now with a decant, or hold a couple years. |

2002 Bella Vista Cabernet FrancTemecula Valley more |
8/6/2009 - petitblanc wrote: 89 pointsMedium-light ruby to brick at the rim, showing just a bit of age. Very open nose, rich, creamy, cab franc perfume and berries. A bit of grape jelly, bacon fat, violets, spicy aromatics of wood, generally a very pure cab franc profile. Nicely balanced, with good structure for drinking now or over the next few years. Fairly short, simple, but enjoyable finish. Slightly elevated alcohol for my taste, but not excessive. Overall very decent, showing some class and complexity, an unexpected experience from this AVA. |
