2019 Cantina Sociale della Vernaccia di Oristano Cannonau di Sardegna Maimonemore |
2/17/2024 - noahbw wrote: 88 pointsGreat animal funk and barnyard elements in the nose. a little thin and acidic thereafter, lighter body than we like. missing a round, rich foundation. Not a standout for the price point. Reasonable daily drinker, but not necessarily rushing out for more. |

2020 Consorzio Produttori Vini Manduria Primitivo di Manduria Liricamore |
2/3/2024 - noahbw Likes this wine: 90 pointsvery solid QBR. Great satisfaction as a daily drinker. Nose has wonderful layers of herbs, purple fruit, light cocoa, hints of mint, dry stone, and whispers of heady perfumey wood in a campfire. Great full mouth watering body with solid tannins that never over power. Can't wait to enjoy more. |

2019 The Hess Collection Hess Select Treo Winemaker's BlendCalifornia Red Blend more |
7/12/2023 - noahbw Likes this wine: 90 pointsGood QPR. A real nice nose of spice, cocoa, espresso, and deep quieter jammy berries. Similar notes on the palate. Some pronounced tannin shoulders in the mouth, but round and nicely mouthwatering, juicy. a bit dark and broody in a good way. good finish that ends quite dry. worth some restocking. |

2020 McPrice Myers Cabernet Sauvignon Bull by the HornsPaso Robles more |
7/5/2023 - noahbw Likes this wine: 90 pointsinteresting nose of rich dark berries and cab franc vibes with peppers, pine, mint, herbs, an some low down musty funk. plays strong on the palate and in the mouth with broad shouldered tannins but steady, not over powering or out of balance. With food (roast chicken and pan sauce), it transformed into a more straightforward Paso Robles cab without the curious edges. A nice fun bottle of wine. |

7/4/2023 - noahbw Likes this wine: 90 pointsterrific QPR. dark fruit jam in the nose with cocoa, some graphite, damp woods. robust and round in the mouth with mouthwatering juicy tannin and more chocolate earthy tones; all working so well together. I agree with other reviewer who says this punches above its weight class. worthy of some restocking. |

2020 Azienda Agricola Contesa Montepulciano d'Abruzzomore |
6/26/2023 - noahbw Likes this wine: 90 pointsNice old world nose with dried herbs and flowers, stone, earth, light funk, dark berry fruit, slight animal hide. Round, rich, with singing tannins in the mouth. Cocoa and mineral throughout palate. Dry yet mouthwatering finish that fades brightly without ever feeling acidic. Nice overall balance, but in a rustic, not elegant way. Worth a repurchase. |
