2011 Kalyra MC2Santa Ynez Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/5/2017 - arass Likes this wine: 87 pointsFine. Basically a nice wine, but a little dull and restrained. We might have kept it too long before drinking. but the MC2 have never been our favorite, particularly at the price. |

2013 Kalyra Grenache BlancSanta Ynez Valley more |
2/5/2017 - arass Likes this wine: 89 pointsQuite a nice white, fill bodied and perhaps a touch off-dry. It has a pleasant round wheaty flavor. Very nice. |

2014 Oak Ridge Winery Zinfandel OZV ("Old Zin Vin") formerly OVZLodi more |
1/31/2017 - arass Likes this wine: 87 pointsIt is a heavy, dark fruit bomb. Very representative of the big lodi zins. Sweeter than might be ideal but still very drinkable. It is a style we generally enjoy and I would buy again. |

2014 Trapiche Malbec Oak CaskMendoza more |
1/25/2017 - arass Likes this wine: 88 pointsThis is a very simple red, but I enjoyed it. medium bodied, a little hot but fairly balanced. Some mellow tannins but very drinkable. There is nothing exceptional about it but I will buy again. |

2012 Mercer Sharp SistersHorse Heaven Hills Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/21/2017 - arass Likes this wine: 87 pointsA heavy bodied red. Deeply layered fruit with lots of raisins up front. Unfortunately there are also some harsher flavors that numb the tongue and prevent it from being all that enjoyable. |

2013 Kirkland Signature MeritageNapa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/21/2017 - arass Likes this wine: 87 pointsA medium bodied red in a style we like. Sort of a solid supermarket wine. Won't be my go to, but very easy drinking and inoffensive, and I did like it. Would be a good wine for a group, likely to please most pallets and a good value. |

1/14/2017 - arass wrote: 87 pointsWine is fine, sort of medium bodied with lots of leather. very dry with some thistle/vegetable flavor. I probably will not buy again, though it is basically a decent wine and not a bad value. |

2015 Gnarly Head Old Vine ZinfandelLodi more |
1/9/2017 - arass Likes this wine: 86 pointsExtreme fruit bomb. A little sweet, very full bodied red. Not a good wine, but drinkable. Not balanced, but I would probably buy again. East coast is wearing me down. |

10/2/2016 - arass wrote: 85 pointsvery dark and intense. Harsh by design I think. very tanic but not in the style of big California wines (not fruity or juicy or all that heavy bodied). wine is like eating a mouthful of thistles. |
