2017 Orofino Vineyards Pinot Noir Home VineyardSimilkameen Valley more |
4/26/2024 - footloosiety wrote: 75 pointsWe wanted to like it, but almost thought it was corked after opening. It went from undrinkable to just not great after about 5-10 minutes open in the bottle, and didn't improve on the second day. It probably didn't help that we immediately opened a Willamette Valley Pinot after assuming the bottle had gone bad, so we had something good to directly compare it with the whole time... |

4/21/2024 - footloosiety Likes this wine: 87 pointsLeanne didn't think it tasted like a Chardonnay. I thought it was tasty. If I could find it again I'd buy it a a $20 price point. |

4/7/2024 - footloosiety wrote: 84 pointsGood, but I think there are better values in the California Chardonnay mid-range price world, and I'd rather pay an extra $10-15 for a Rombauer if I wanted something really nice. |

4/7/2024 - footloosiety wrote: 86 pointsHad an off taste immediately upon opening, but opened up nicely after a few minutes in the glass. On day two it was good. I liked it for the price, Leanne wasn't as impressed. |

2015 Poplar Grove Winery The LegacyOkanagan Valley VQA Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/9/2024 - footloosiety Likes this wine: 92 pointsWe haven't had side-by side with other more well known big BC reds (Osoyoos Larose Le Grand Vin, Painted Rock Icon, etc.) but from occasional tasting memory I think this is on the same level. |

2014 Tantalus Vineyards RieslingOkanagan Valley VQA more |
2/18/2024 - footloosiety Likes this wine: 91 pointsDrank after being in cellar for eight yrs and it had a lot of characteristicd of high quality aged rieslings (toast & petrol) I didn't remember tasting in other newer vintages, while still managing to be pretty tasty. Makes me think that the better-quality Okanagan area rieslings (Tantalus, Synchromesh, others?) will have pretty good ageing potential. |

1/14/2024 - footloosiety Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis has been our go-to red for about a year now. For the price we haven't found anything better. It's like the inexpensive house wine you have when on vacation in Italy that's always great. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

1/12/2024 - footloosiety wrote: 85 pointsUsed to drink this years ago when we lived in the US and got bottles at a good discount. Paid a premium to have it again here, and while I was impressed with the weight of the glass bottle, the contents were just ok. |

2012 Road 13 Petit Verdot JackpotOkanagan Valley VQA more |
1/8/2024 - footloosiety wrote: NR*We actually had a Jackpot Syrah, not the listed*. We havent had the newest versions, but based on our samples, these earlier single-vineyard versions of Road 13 wines dont seem to be worth the premium. I'd stick with the 'value' seventy-four k for a Road 13 red. |

1999 Dow Porto CrustedPort Blend more |
1/8/2024 - footloosiety Likes this wine: 88 pointsAccording to all sources this was well past its prime, but I thought it was very good and enjoyed immediately after opening. Following days it slowly got more tawny-like on the nost & palate. Considering the increasing price of vintage port, I think I'd go this route (or LBV) for 90% of the quality at way less than half the price. |

1/6/2024 - footloosiety Likes this wine: 90 pointsA really good OR Pinot. Hard to compare directly with others as we only have a few a year, but I'd say one of the best we've tried. |

2013 Pirramimma Petit VerdotMcLaren Vale more |
1/3/2024 - footloosiety Likes this wine: 87 pointsA tasty wine for this specific varietal - the few other Petite Verdot ive tried have all been unimpressive. That said, its the same price but nowhere as good as the Pirramimma Shiraz, so not sure I'll buy it again. |
