2020 Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay The CutrerRussian River Valley more |
3/1/2023 - Zinslut Does not like this wine: 81 pointsWent to Smart & Final of all places.. the “Cutrer” was discounted from $35 to $17.99…. Hmmm… what a deal…. Well NOT so much. This is similar to the same characteristic as their regular bottling with this being a Russian River Appelation. Not close to the SC bottlings I revered early in my career… to the point I don’t recognize It. Fruit if Any.. maybe caramelized pear is muddled with course tight grain toasted Oak with again a watery non existent finish. Those that called it Balanced are delusional .. elegant .. maybe in a Car Crash…and scoring it in the the 90’s is a 1990 Fantasy. |

8/1/2022 - spacewrangler wrote: 94 pointsPop n pour over 3.5 hours. I'd take these faded reviews with a grain of salt, they may enjoy young robust cabs or milkshakes as I call them. This has aged so gracefully at 13.5%. For my palate in no stage of decline, plenty of fruit and in balance. Plum, pomegranate, cedar, mint and some leather fill out a lithe profile. Finish lingers, a classic Napa cab. Well stored bottles have room to run. Try my last bottle in 2-5 years.

4/22/2023 - vide Likes this wine: 93 pointsBeautiful balance of soft spice on the nose, and this is reflected in the artfully constructed palate. The wine is not as deep as previous bottles I have had, and it lacked a little in structure. I do not know where awarding it 97 points (please see below) comes from. 93 I feel is about right,

10/31/2020 - Wineguy_pgh Does not like this wine: 84 pointsAfter opening the bottle I tasted the wine and thought the wine was tainted. So i decanted it for about 35 mins, thinking it just needed to some sort to blow the mustiness off the wine.

2/29/2020 - Neecies Does not like this wine: 75 pointsDecanted an hour before dinner (lots of sediment) only to find plodding flavors drug down by heavy oak and low acid. We struggled thru a glass apiece and dumped the rest.

11/5/2022 - oakville72 Does not like this wine: 75 pointsCould be a bad bottle, as Otis Wine Lover wrote, but I think it's a bad lot. Raisins and VA (volatile acidity). Options: (1) discard, (2) return to Trader Joe's, (3) use in place of balsamic vinegar, (4) use as drain cleaner.

2018 Martin Ray Cabernet Sauvignon SynthesisNapa Valley more |
12/7/2021 - Baron Slick wrote: 91 pointsFull bodied and briary upfront, with dark cherries, blackberries, and licorice in the background. It comes across more as Paso Robles than it does Napa Valley, with sound structural integrity, and tannic persistence on the back end and through the finish. Tasty.

2019 Franciscan Estate Cabernet SauvignonMonterey County more |
8/26/2021 - jdporter3 wrote: flawedA pleasant wine. Has that youthful brightness and shows currants and mild tannins. A medium bodied quaff, not over oaked. Accessed by Coravin and let it breathe a bit. Certainly a short finish. All in all, what you ought to get for about $20 but so rarely do, especially from CA. A nice daily red.

11/1/2021 - Baron Slick wrote: 93 pointsRipe, buttery, and delectable aromas segue into a superbly dense frame of racy acidity and mineral-inflected notes of loquats, preserved lemons, apples, and nuts. Dry yet mouthwatering, this is structured and perfectly balanced, with bottle age complexity and a beautiful ash-driven finish. All class.

4/17/2019 - Baron Slick wrote: 84 pointsA blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, this offers bittersweet notes of black cherries and melted, dark chocolate on a thick, syrupy, extracted bed of oak. I didn't expect for it to be on par with its premium label siblings but this was disappointing.

8/19/2020 - Baron Slick wrote: 90 pointsA nice intro to a California interpretation of Rhone varietal wine. Grapey notes of black and blue fruit, asphalt, and white pepper-like intensity. Full bodied and open knit, with flavors that gradually build nice depth, breadth, and complexity as the wine evolves in the glass. Cool label too.

6/18/2019 - wine-enthusiast wrote: 87 pointsThis bottle had a touch of tca. Very mild, added an earthy note. The wine had spicey notes with red fruits, tannins that dissipated in an hour. Medium bodied , would be 89 points w/o tca. The tca was on the cork, immediately apparent upon opening.

11/24/2020 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 88 pointsThe Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (My House, Houston, TX): Retail $20. Funk. Not quite Brett, I don’t think, but there is a reductive, sulfur thing going on. Normally, I like the funk, but this is a bit over the top, even for me. The palate is fruity, but that funk is definitely still there. Very Good. 88 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com
