2020 Domaine de la Charbonnière Châteauneuf-du-Pape

What a balanced stunning wine! I’m going to Conspire with the other reviewers… that this is an outstanding Wine …. with a few other descriptors. A bit of rich black licorice, sweet Olallieberry jam, and juicy Logan Berry.
At the $40 price point .. one of the most satisfying CNP of the year.

2020 Gabriel Meffre Gigondas Sainte-Catherine
4/1/2024 - Zinslut Likes this wine: 88 Points
A dark garnet color with aromas of a predominantly Grenache & Syrah as a nice uplifting support marriage. Love the herbaceousness of the region and the black plum, blackberry, supple black olive, and earthy tones… almost Elegant. Medium bodied and acid with flavors of more black plum, black licorice, bay leaf, black pepper, & medium tannins. An elegant wine with defined flavors … but not as Muscular or complex I would expect from Gigondas at $45. Drink now through 2029

2018 Brady Vineyard Petite Sirah
3/27/2024 - Zinslut Does not like this wine: 83 Points
I have a lot of experience with Petite , and this is far from a stunner. Very muted and depressed aromas and flavors of blackberry, black plum, walnut, dust, mixed herbaceous flavors, menthol, & green marshmallow. The 15% Abv or acid is not the culprit here… but the astringency. It’s dark as tar .. maybe over extracted and has lost its fruit character, it would take Canadian Actress Laysla De Olivera pouring for me to accept another 1/2 glass. Disappointing…… the wine … never her.
