Red	2012 Glaetzer Shiraz Amon-Ra Barossa Valley more	Options Post a Comment View Floydian's profile Report Issue 11/19/2017 - Floydian Likes this wine: 94 points perhaps the finest Shiraz I've tasted. The wine looks purple colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like raspberry and red currant. It tastes like forest floor and black pepper. The body is medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
Red	2009 Orin Swift The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel more	Options Post a Comment View Floydian's profile Report Issue 12/25/2015 - Floydian wrote: 90 points The Prisoner has been a consistent solid wine. Have enjoyed many vintages and enjoyed all. This one was purchased in 2011 and enjoyed Christmas Day 2015. Aged well. Served decanted for 30 minutes. Heavy on the fruit - though not a fruit bomb at all. Strong but pleasurable Cherry tones. Texture was on the thinner side of what you would expect, but not overly noticeable. Will continue to collect and horde The Prisoner. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Decanted for an hour - spectacular. Very aromatic - plum, blackberry, strong coffee - wonderful texture - almost silky. Sorry I had to share but still managed to enjoy 2 glasses.

I've heard bacon fat expressed in cdp....but didn't notice any. It was mouthy....like velvet. Intense cherry feel....but not overpowering. A bit of pepper and oregano. Low tannin. Had it with a roast beef and it went very well. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Red	2009 El Bombero Cariñena Grenache Blend, Grenache more	Options Post a Comment View Floydian's profile Report Issue 7/17/2011 - Floydian wrote: 86 points Drank out of the bottle - no aeration or decanting. You can definitely smell the alcohol in this one...almost the only scent coming through on the nose. The one taste that stands out is cedar.

Red	2008 The Hundred Shiraz Limestone Coast more	Options Post a Comment View Floydian's profile Report Issue 7/10/2011 - Floydian wrote: 88 points Bottle 2 consumed in April of 2017 - nowhere near as good as the original bottle. It was stored in 56 degree cooler - and was a bit harsh. Definitely did not improve with age. Initial Bottle consumer in July of 2011 - OMG...this was so good for a $12 bottle. So many complex aromas and flavors. A bit of licorice stood out. I would love to be able to find more of this. The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It tastes like black pepper, petrol and stoniness. The body is medium/full. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

White - Sweet/Dessert	2009 Pacific Rim Sweet Riesling Columbia Valley more	Options Post a Comment View Floydian's profile Report Issue 5/19/2011 - Floydian wrote: 86 points Surprisingly good for an $8 bottle. Noticably peachy, and went down oh so smooth. While this is branded as a Sweet Riesling, it was not in any way overpowering. It would go wonderfully well sitting by the pool or at the beach served chilled. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
Red - Sparkling	2006 Mollydooker Shiraz Goosebumps South Australia more	Options Post a Comment View Floydian's profile Report Issue 5/8/2011 - Floydian wrote: 90 points This was AMAZING. Yes...its different, but on a warm day, a nice cold glass of sparkling shiraz is amazing. This has the usual MD fruit bomb taste, but more refined and the bubbles add to it. Wish I bought more than 2 and wish i can find more. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment
