2/18/2024 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine was better the second time, a little more time in bottle served this wine well. Still had the full bodied fruit but the palate texture was silkier and the finish cleaner. |

1/28/2024 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 89 pointsI waited too long to drink this bottle, the other 18 I drank 2 years ago was much fresher and had more fruit on the nose and palate. This is still a nice wine, but not special anymore. If you have it drink it asap. |

2017 Slate Theory The KleptomaniacTexas Red Blend more |
1/19/2024 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 92 pointsRed fruit with hint of purple, bramble, and vanilla, with matching taste on the palate. Medium body. The texture is wonderful, absolutely gliding across my palate. Medium finish with gentle but coating tannin. |

7/8/2023 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 90 pointsFantastic QPR cab. Medium full wine with a red fruit profile. A linear wine that has a European style texture that I really like. Medium finish |

3/12/2023 - jcassi01 Does not like this wine: 87 pointsA bit weedy for me on the nose, it overshadowed a solid palate of ripe red fruit |

2021 Desire Lines Riesling Cole RanchMendocino County more |
1/15/2023 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 90 pointsClassic pear and apple fruit on the palate. Bone dry, good texture, clean finish. What was missing was the nose, it was nearly non existent. |

2020 Denis Dubourdieu PureBordeaux Sauvignon Blanc more |
10/7/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 90 pointsLight bodied sauce blanc with lemon and herb on the nose and palate. While it’s not a complex wine, it has nice texture and a clean finish that mirrors the nose. |

2019 Carlisle Alicante Bouschet Pagani RanchSonoma Valley more |
9/10/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 92 pointsRich mixed fruit on the nose and palate. As always with Carlisle wines, the texture and acidity are perfectly balanced. Finishes smooth and clean. Highly recommend! |

2019 Alexander Valley Vineyards Cabernet Francmore |
8/13/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis wine drank amazingly well. Dark inky fruit, that exuded cassis on the nose and palate. After a couple hours a hint of BBQ smoke emerged, but don’t take that as a slight. Clean medium finish with classic AVV tannin. |

2018 de Négoce Cabernet Sauvignon OG N.76Napa Valley more |
7/30/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 91 pointsCherry starburst on the nose, rich cranberry sauce on the palate. Easy going tannin and a medium finish. Gains more complexity with air, which I didn’t give it much of, so give it a couple hour decant to open up more complexity |

2020 Ab Astris Clairette Blanche Estate GrownTexas Hill Country more |
7/29/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 89 pointsCool River rock and pear in the nose, phenolics are light. Stone fruit and mineral on the palate. Biting acidity and oil battle on the palate. Sneaky long finish with some astringency. This wine begs for goat cheese and crackers. Serve cold. |

2019 Augusta Vin Malbec Estate ReserveTexas Hill Country more |
7/23/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 90 pointsThis Malbec is well made, no rough edges. It has a European medium-light body and silky texture. Nose has bramble and light woodsy aroma, but the palate is all light bodied black fruit. A bit of the woodsy bramble comes back on the finish. |

2019 Adega Vinho Cuvée CarinhoTexas High Plains Red Blend more |
6/10/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 91 pointsBright cherry and pomegranate nose and palate. Finishes with a granache like garrigue finish. Some grain on the finish. This is a Merlot/Tempranillo blend, but I was bling tasting I would have guessed Grenache. |

2018 Carlisle Zinfandel Carlisle VineyardRussian River Valley more |
5/27/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 92 pointsClassic Carlisle dark berry nose. On the palate pomegranate and sour cherry overlay the dark berry fruit. There is a touch of tart acid. Finishes with drying tannin and sour cherry. |

2018 Silver Ghost Cellars Cabernet SauvignonNapa Valley more |
5/15/2022 - jcassi01 Does not like this wine: 90 pointsHad a typical Napa profile of blue and black fruit, full body, some spice and tannin on the back end. There’s nothing wrong with this wine, but it has no identity. I suspect some sugar as well. |

2016 Failla Syrah Hudson VineyardNapa Valley more |
1/22/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 92 pointsAs one might expect from a Napa Valley Syrah, this drank more like a Zinfandel than a Walla Walla syrah. I think this would a good bottle to introduce to a non-Syrah drinker. Juicy red fruit with hints of Syrah umami. Medium grained tannin on the finish and a nice finish. |

2018 Desire Lines EvangelhoContra Costa County Red Blend more |
1/8/2022 - jcassi01 Likes this wine: 91 pointsBeautiful color that I won’t attempt to describe. Solid nose of red and purple fruit that followed on the palate. The red fruit had richness to it, but there was lifting acid that prevented it from tasting heavy. Right down the middle medium bodied is how I would describe it. This wine is like a great pair of loafers, you can dress it up (dinner party quality) or dress it down (Friday night pizza and movie). Highly recommend. Needs decanting due to sediment. |
