Dry Riesling straw colored white wine with grassy nose. Medium body white , with after-notes of hay and gravel.

2016 Famille Perrin / Perrin & Fils Côtes du Rhône Reserve
1/8/2021 - Carolinius Likes this wine: 94 Points
Dry, medium-bodied red wine with a screw cap, opening to a nose of cherries, currant, blackberries, and black pepper. Deep burgundy tending toward opaque at center and ruby at the edges. Extraordinary balance of tannins and sweetness with some residual sugar. Presents itself as non-alcohol forward, with smoothly pleasant floral notes developing. Long finish consistent with opening notes of berries and black currant. Excellent table wine, surprisingly affordable. Enjoyed with filet mignon and baked potato. Wife says this is now her favorite wine. As an accompaniment to food I’m inclined to agree.

2014 1000 Stories Zinfandel Bourbon Barrel Aged
4/7/2019 - Carolinius Likes this wine: 94 Points
This is a still, dry, red wine, ruby-colored, fading to pink at the edges. It is of middleweight with medium to low acidity. Nose of walnuts and fresh rubber tires. Opening notes of cherry and chocolate. Middle tones include a slight, interesting hint of bitter black pepper. (Is this the bourbon barrel oakiness?) Delightfully long finish that suggests soda water and lemon. Remarkable complexity for a mid-weight red. I served it with spaghetti and meat sauce and sautéed spinach, and the match was perfect.
