golden color, almost a tint of orange. the nose is really mineral-driven, gravelly almost with some nice orange rind. i totally would've guessed old world, maybe austria or something. it's got zesty acid but good body. still lots of minerals on the palate here. almost a bit of almond on the finish.

had some nice green apple on the nose. medium-bodied, creamy, good butteryness. a bit of minerality. nice simple-drinking white.

good salmon color. nose is pretty yeasty, attractive. bracing acid, medium body, good balance, with some toast and refreshing strawberry flavors.

dark golden color. the nose on this was really nice. lots of apricot jam, marmalade. on the palate this was goopy for me. not enough acid. not much fruit either. just kind of sticky with not much of a finish. one of those wines you want to keep smelling, but not necessarily drink too much of.

the nose smells dead on like leather shoes! i love it. smoke and dark fruit compote, too. on the palate, this still had some tannins, but the fruit has waned. still a unique experience. definitely grabs your palate and catches your attention. not too much of a finish though.

the nose on this one was smoky, leathery, dried flowers, good aged bordeaux characteristics. the tannins have weakened and the acid is a bit too much. not totally spent, but a bit over the hill.

great stuff here. nose was explosive with pine needles, menthol, eucalyptus, juniper, all over a rich layer of cherry fruit. juicy acid, solid tannins... the flavors have evolved into a mix of zingy fruit with some secondary earth and tree bark flavors. solid finish.

i loved the nose on this. smoky, gamey, lamb hide, dark rasberries. good structure and acid. rich but not some fruit bomb. lot of complexity here. fun, unique stuff.

aromas are so complex and inviting. cherry cola, root beer barrel, boysenberries... just goes on and on. big, obviously, but what i love about this wine is the silky mouthfeel. so velvety. rich fruit flavors, black cherries, cola, highlighted with some spice and pepper. long, lingering finish.

dark purple colored. what a totally dense nose. rich, black fruits. got a bit of white pepper. dense, but great structure. rich dark fruit, almost a bit beefy.

i liked the more restrained style of this cab. currant, oak and vanilla on the nose, transitioning to the palate, but it's medium-bodied, good concentration of fruit, accented by a good amount of oak, not too much.

nose was really intriguing... lots of green pepper, licorice, blackberries. the palate was medium bodied. not as dense as i would've expected. the acid is surprisingly high. a bit thin for my tastes, but i respect this wine's restraint. it did start to fall apart quite quickly. this is definitely a food wine. might work as a good accompaniment to some stew or something like that.

rich amber brown color and viscous, of course. it smells like some sort of apricot reduction caramel dessert, if such a thing exists. also, there's this wonderful fig paste aroma, just like the richest, ripest middle easter figs you can get. thick, sweet, but it's got grip to the palate and refreshing acidity, so it doesn't feel goopy or anything. lots of brown sugar on the palate, creme brulee, again, figs with no end, and a bit of caramel candy bar. there's this flavor on the finish that reminds me exactly of that orange/chocolate candy that comes shaped like an orange and you crack it... i love those things. and this tastes just like that on the long finish. great with dark chocolate. it gets smoother. but, to be honest, i'd want this with some sort of fig dessert.
