2012 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Cask 23Stags Leap District more |
2/7/2023 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRVery Good / Excellent. Decanted and sat for 45 minutes before first taste; drank over the next two hours. It is what you would expect from Stag's Leap. Deep purple color, long legs, dark fruits, vanilla, cassis. Very smooth, almost creamy. It is a Parker-ized wine. |

2007 Tenuta Sette Ponti Oreno Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
2/7/2023 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRVery Good. We were concerned that this might have passed its prime. We decanted for about 30 minutes prior to drinking. Beautiful ruby color. It retains a wonderful acidity despite the depth of the red and black fruits. It paired fairly well with braised lamb and potatoes, but it probably would have paired better with, guess what, northern Italian. |

2017 Invina Carménère Luma Chequén Carménère Gran ReservaCentral Valley more |
11/6/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. Inky purple, decent legs. It has the typical green pepper notes of Chilean Carmenere on the nose and the palate. Reasonable finish; it lingers for a few seconds. Nice wine for $12. |

2017 Truett-Hurst Old Vine Zinfandel 3 VineyardsDry Creek Valley more |
10/18/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. Part of a vertical tasting. This vintage was the least favored. After the rich and jammy 2016, this felt thin and under-developed. Not even as good as the 2019, which was not TH's best. |

2016 Truett-Hurst Old Vine Zinfandel 3 VineyardsDry Creek Valley more |
10/18/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRVery Good. Held this back as part of a five-year vertical tasting. This was hands-down the consensus favorite. Dark and jammy. The cork was nearly black when I pulled it. Decanted and let it open up for two hours. Wow. |

10/18/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. A little past its prime, but still drinkable. I held this back to taste as part of a five-vintage vertical. Brambly and jammy, Consensus opinion was second best to 2016. |

2016 Robert Foley The GriffinNapa Valley Red Blend more |
8/16/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood / Very Good. Pop and pour by the pool on a summer night. Inky purple. First note on the nose is powerful vanilla. Red fruits, warm tannins. Delicious, and better once it has been open for a couple hours. |

2016 Château Sainte-Eulalie Minervois-La Livinière La CantilèneRed Rhone Blend more |
8/16/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. Pop and pour with a group of friends on a warm summer evening by the pool. Inky purple. Rich dark red fruits with some tobacco, leather and herbs. For the price (~$25) it is an excellent summer drinker. |

2015 Ridge Petite Sirah York CreekSpring Mountain District more |
8/10/2022 - clio_wine wrote: NRGood. Other reviews claim it needs more time. To me, it tasted like it is past it's drink-by date. Deep inky purple and some tobacco notes, but it felt flat and not nearly as interesting as other Ridge wines. |

7/13/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRFair / Good. I have several inexpensive Mencias lately with high QPR. This is not one of them. It's ok, standard mencia notes, just nothing I would buy again. |

2019 Francois-Xavier Nicolas Père & Fils Côtes du Rhône Vieilles VignesRed Rhone Blend more |
5/17/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. A bit on the light side for a CdR, still a pleasant drinker with nice acidity. Better with food than on its own. |

2019 Bodegas Borsao Garnacha Campo de Borja Tres Picosmore |
4/30/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood / Very Good. Plummy, jammy, oaky. It drank really well with pork bbq. I normally drink beer with bbq, but the bottle was already open and I gave it a try. It worked. |

2020 Altos Las Hormigas Bonarda Colonia las Liebres ClasicaMendoza more |
4/9/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. Dark ruby color, long legs. My seasonal hay fever has made it a challenge to taste test wine, but it has a nice mouthfeel, much like Rhone wines that don't see oak. The alcohol is well integrated. Certainly a very nice wine for $10. |

2013 Di Majo Norante Molise RamitelloRed Blend more |
3/21/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. Bought this off the clearance rack at a good wine store. I was thinking it would be past its "drink by" date, but this was surprisingly good. I don't drink a lot of montepulciano, but this was the darkest, densest in my recollection. Tasty. |

2/28/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. Nice dark ruby color. Good legs. Has traditional cab notes except a bit of vegetal, almost green bell pepper notes on the finish, similar to a Chilean Carmenere. |

2018 Julien Cruchandeau Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits Les CabottesPinot Noir more |
1/21/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood/Very Good. Bright raspberry flavors, a bit of forest floor. It reminds me of a beaujolais. It tends to the lighter side of French Burgundy. Delicious. It paired well with broiled cod in white wine and butter sauce and veggies. Because it is light, it did not overpower the fish. |

2016 Uvaggio (L'Uvaggio di Giacomo) Montagna NeraEl Dorado Red Blend more |
1/8/2022 - clio_wine Likes this wine: NRGood. A tasty Zin-Barbera blend. Smooth drinkable. Plum notes. The barbera really softens the zin. It's a nice change from some overpowering, high-alcohol zins. |
