2018 2 Hawk Vineyard & Winery Malbec Darow SeriesRogue Valley more |
1/10/2024 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis packs some depth of flavor. The fruit is concentrated and reminded my of serviceberry jam. There is some dark chocolate and a hint of orange. It dropped off quickly on day two. |

2013 Elegante' Cellars SangioveseWalla Walla Valley more |
12/11/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 90 pointsTen years old, this is drinking beautifully. There is no mistaking the Sangiovese. I longed for a nice Italian sausage to eat with it. Bold fruit and nice balance. |

2020 Brys Estate Pinot Noir RieslingOld Mission Peninsula Rosé Blend more |
12/11/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 89 pointsA surprise on an evening of tastings. It drinks somewhat like a fuller-bodied rose, with the Riesling giving a crispness and the Pinot adding strawberry and red fruit. It has a slightly tart, cranberry taste on the front end. |

12/11/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Does not like this wine: 87 pointsAfter more than an hour of air it was still dominated by oak and unpleasant tannins. Two days later it had softened to be a drinkable, average GSM. |

12/11/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 92 pointsStone fruit. Crisp acidity from the Viognier while the Roussanne and Marsanne give a rounder mouth feel. Refreshing. |

2016 Château Branaire-DucruSt. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend more |
10/27/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 96 pointsBlack fruit and lead pencil on the nose. The black fruit repeats with real depth on the taste, adding in some leather, texture, and appealing saline finish. Very impressive. This can sit in the cellar for decades. 6 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2018 John & Mike Favre Petite ArvineChamoson more |
10/8/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 92 pointsI think a few years of aging has benefitted this one. Creamy texture. Vanilla and floral scents. Melon, honey, and a saline finish. |

2021 Devison Vintners Mourvèdre Off The TableWalla Walla Valley more |
7/22/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 97 pointsThis is a stunner of a wine that can show just how good Mourvedre can be as a varietal. There is certainly some orange peel on the nose, with roasted pig. The color is lighter than I expected, but the flavor is there, with black fruit that goes on and on, and perfect levels of acidity and tannin. It would be very versatile in pairing with food. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2019 Alto Vineyards ChambourcinShawnee Hills more |
7/22/2023 - michael.stumpf@placedynamics.c Likes this wine: 87 pointsAge has helped this one. The tannins are more subdued than when I tasted at the winery, and it has become more balanced, if still not very complex. Red fruit. Honestly, I opened it for a recipe that called for red wine, but drank a glass, which was more than I expected. |
