2018 Larkmead Vineyards Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
2/5/2022 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 95 pointsI know I should be holding this longer, but I had to try a bottle. It was fantastic. Soft and lush, without being jammy. Really nice bottle of Cabernet. Glad I've got three more in the cellar. |

2012 Pecci Celestino Brunello di Montalcino RiservaSangiovese more |
11/1/2019 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 93 pointsExactly what you hope for in a glass of Brunello. Not sure why CT shows a drinking window starting in 2021, because this is showing really well right now. Smooth, soft, good fruit, and classic flavor profiles for a tuscan wine. Great with pizza too! |

2013 Rhys Pinot Noir Santa Cruz Mountainsmore |
1/19/2018 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 95 pointsAstounding wine. Don't know how Pinot Noir can get much better. Balanced and flavorful, with just the right mix of acidity and fruit. Delicate, but with a long finish. Cherry pie and forest floor. Many wines in this price range don't seem to merit the expense, but this one does. Probably worth much more! |

2010 Aubert Chardonnay Sonoma Coastmore |
9/14/2017 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice, got that slight funk to an aged Chard. Still a bit of oak, and malo? Works well with an aged cheddar and a nice afternoon. Cheers! |

2009 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-PapeRed Rhone Blend more |
7/12/2017 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 95 pointsReally good stuff, I'm not sure how wine gets much better. I am a fan of CdP, but this was especially good. Smooth, but complex. Full and round, great texture and body, lots of fruit without being cloying. Not much tannin, but what's left is slightly sweet and tasty. Can't say I've had much better wine than this. I'm getting Raspberries with a hint of cherries. |

2015 Château Puech-Haut Coteaux du Languedoc Saint-Drézéry Rosé Tête de BélierMourvèdre more |
5/20/2017 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 90 pointsDrinks so nice. It's nice and smooth and just a touch sweet. Subtle white peach flavors with a gentle star jasmine aroma. Beautiful wine to slurp on a hot southern California day in May. Perfect with Fontina cheese and crackers. |

2013 Evening Land Vineyards Pinot Noir Seven Springs VineyardEola - Amity Hills more |
1/14/2017 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 90 pointsNice aroma and flavor, smooth texture and tannins. Doesn't taste too much like most Oregon Pinot's. Doesn't have much of the musty, forest floor flavor I associate with OP's. But very nice regardless. Cherry and lavender. Good wine. |

2014 Patricia Green Cellars Pinot Noir Durant VineyardDundee Hills more |
12/3/2016 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 92 pointsI always like Patty Green wines, and Oregon Pinot's, especially from this area of the valley. Has that distinctive Oregon aroma and flavor profile. Call it wet forest floor if you like. Nice cherry notes, good acidity and a nice tight profile. We got 4 more bottles, so it will be interesting to note how this changes. Still young, but very drinkable right now! Love it! |

2010 Heitz Cellar Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
10/29/2016 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 92 pointsHad with Tri-Tip. Great combo, the wine is perfect for drinking right now, and went with this savory meat really nicely. Softer and smoother Cabernet than many, but a really nice wine for the price. Fruit is very apparent, but not too jammy. I like it. |

2007 Dusky Goose Pinot Noir Dundee Hillsmore |
10/21/2016 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 95 pointsExtraordinary wine. Amazingly fruit forward for a 2007. Cherries all the way. Had the classic Oregon Pinot aroma and body and color, but tasted youthful and fresh. Full bodied, with no latent tannin left. I wish I had a case of this. |

2012 Domaine Clos des Rocs Pouilly-Loché Les BarresChardonnay more |
10/11/2016 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 92 pointsWait for 10 to 15 minutes before tasting, it's skunky right out of the bottle. But after that it's really nice. Like a lot of white burgs., it's nothing like Cali Chard. Good acidity, a bit of mineral, nice lemon curd, none of the buttery slop or flaccid texture of a cheap chardonnay. Great finish and loads of texture. |

9/15/2016 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis wine is incredible. Really amazing aroma's of cherry and blackberry. It's complex and textured with just a bit of tannin and oak. The finish is long and satisfying. I could drink this all day and all night long. Thanks Foxen for an amazing wine experience! |

9/4/2016 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 93 pointsThis was really nice, thanks Marty. Great body and texture, nice balance to the mineral and fruit. Wish I could drink a bottle of this every night. Amazing how French Chard. is so different from Cali. |

2011 Terry Hoage Vineyards Syrah The HedgePaso Robles more |
4/2/2016 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery nice bottle of wine. Had with some tender Filet's, and it was perfect. Smooth tannin and decent fruit, without being sweet. This is what makes Paso so great. Very good wine, beautiful place and still very reasonable priced. |

2013 Bedrock Wine Co. The Bedrock HeritageSonoma Valley Zinfandel Blend, Zinfandel more |
12/11/2015 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 92 pointsAmazing complex and fascinating red wine. Still lots of tannin, but you can tell this is an amazing wine. I can't even describe all of the flavor profiles and aroma's going on here, but I wish I had a case or two to figure it out. Nice! |

2010 Larkmead Vineyards Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
11/7/2015 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 94 pointsWow, great wine. Full Cab flavor array. Smoky, spicy, round tannin, very nicely balanced. Weston says it tastes like a high end Washington Cab, not Napa. I don't know, but it tastes really good. Glad we got two more bottles. Had with some roast beef (all day long in slow cooker), and it was perfect. |

2011 Evening Land Vineyards Pinot Noir Eola - Amity Hillsmore |
9/17/2015 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 89 pointsMuch better than the first bottle I opened. Maybe the first one was flawed? I don't know, but this was a very nice and classic Oregon Pinot. Delicate but complex, with some interesting flavors. |

2010 Rivetto Barolo Del Comune Di Serralunga D'AlbaNebbiolo more |
8/21/2015 - Chuck C Likes this wine: 90 pointsHas that distinctive dusky italian red wine color, with smooth tannin and nice cherry aroma and flavor. I love Barolo's and this one is a nice example of them. Probably could use a couple more years in the cellar. Glad I have three more bottles. |
