A wonderful Napa Pinot. Consistently solid. Big hot cherry vanilla Pinot that calms down by end...

Deep dark color, pepper and berries on the nose and nice spice and cured meat taste. Good, best of the North Fork wines I've had. I'm going to hold the other bottle for a while and see how that does. 41% Merlot, 23% each of the Cab Sauv and Malbec and the rest is Cab Franc.

Fantastic! So excited in my first Xarello foray...I'm a red wine by trade but this was a lot of fun, razor sharp on the tongue. Going to definitely buy more and enjoy all summer.

Definitely too early for this wine. Pleasant but very simple, even after 90 minutes of decanting. Holding on to the other two bottles for a couple of years.

Maple syrup, chocolate, leather and plum on the nose. Simple, a little too simple in fact. Acceptable gulping wine.

Better than I expected out of Southampton. Nose has tobacco, chocolate and plum. Heavy tannin... has hints of oak, coffee and chocolate. Not the best QPR in the world, but doesn't miss by much. Enjoyable.

Really strong finish. A very nice chard. Paired it with a killer fish dinner of scallops newburg and a chilean sea bass with a kickin' mustard sauce. The wine performed beautifully as the anchor to this seafaring dinner. Peaches? Sure. But drink it after a bite of something oceanic and you'll be happy.

Tasty pinot from the Schug Woot offering. Nice taste of tart cherry. Nice light appearance, paired well with spicy tuna rolls. Probably could have aged a bit with improvement but needed to dig into this Woot three pack. I'll save the Merlot instead.

I'm going to assume this will seriously improve with age, as I'm saving my other bottle for a while. The blend is decent with nice tannins and value is okay, but the buzz on this was a little overhyped.

A good woot. Not a great one...but a good one nonetheless and quite enjoyable. There are some hints of blackberry and mocha and it is quite nice with manly meat. Side note: Trent (the T of C&T) is one of the coolers owners on the planet.

Our House Cab. Can't get a better Cab to dollar ratio on the market. Buy this by the case and enjoy it regularly.
