2016 Seghesio Family Vineyards Zinfandel Sonoma Countymore |
10/3/2022 - syrahz Likes this wine: 91 pointsHard to believe it's 14.8% alcohol. Smooth, zinny, great for sipping or with food. Opened for my wife's 74th. |

2017 Clos St Antonin Côtes du RhôneGrenache Blend, Grenache more |
5/23/2022 - syrahz Likes this wine: 89 pointsServed this to my wife's school chums from over half a century ago. Had with smash burgers and fries one time, and then another time with steak and frites. They loved it. My wife loved it. Her sister loved it. Me, I feel it lacks acidity and minerality. It does have pleasant red fruits and a nice mouthfeel. No tannins at all that my weak palate could detect. It's not bad, but not great. Perhaps that's why it's a girly wine. I think this could be a good wine for braising short ribs or a chuck roast. I will save a bottle for some autumn weather braising. As for those who tossed it, that I don't get. I'm not a high roller and as a daily drink I'd be okay with a bottle of Kirkland Malbec. This is better than that, although twice the price. |

2/2/2022 - syrahz Likes this wine: 92 pointsLooks like a Pinot Noir in the glass. We were surprised by the taste: black cherries, blackberries and other dark fruits. Lovely mouthfeel. Unlike any Garnacha in our memories. I didn't detect any tannin. Poured thru an aerator. All four of us found it unusual and lovely. |

1/14/2022 - syrahz Likes this wine: 92 pointsA home run. Nearly gin clear in the glass, but oh my, on the palate there are notes of tropical fruits, lime, ruby red grapefruit, spice...more than I'm capable of describing. We love the 2020. This is even better. |

12/19/2021 - syrahz Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis tasting was interesting because the wine was served with appetizers to close friends who moved here from France in 2002. As a side note, they work for Michelin. Yves stated he's not a fan of white Bordeaux, and couldn't recall haven't tasted anything that he cared for...with the exception of Sauternes, of course. This wine changed his mind. Four of us, and the wine was gone before dinner. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

10/8/2021 - syrahz Likes this wine: 89 pointsThis is a Cab? It's tasty, but doesn't drink like a Cab at all. I rated as a mystery wine based on overall quality. But nonetheless, it doesn't taste like a Cab to me, or the missus. |

2018 Bodega Catena Zapata Malbec Paraje Altamiramore |
4/17/2021 - syrahz Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis is still pretty tight. Decant before tasting. The comments on the tannins make me wonder if we're drinking the same wine. Tannins are there, but smooth and refined, and provide good structure. Dark fruit. Nice finish. I believe this needs more time. Your opinion may differ. There's half a bottle left for day two, so there's still something to learn here. |

2014 Kaiken Malbec UltraVista Flores more |
4/6/2021 - syrahz Likes this wine: 92 pointsExcellent Malbec. Dark fruits, a hint of chocolate, full and ripe, just enough tannin to provide structure, satisfying finish. Better than the last bottle, as I remember. |
