2000 Francis Coppola Director's Reserve Napa Valley Merlot
(2007-08-02 18:53:05 UTC) buddy icon 2000 Francis Coppola Director's Reserve Napa Valley Merlot 92/100

A fantastically full bodied merlot that is as smooth as butter. Flavorful without being dry, this bottle was empty with little effort.

I find it odd that I've seen you as many times as I have out and about, and yet we've never had a glass of wine anywhere. One of these days you'll have to come back down to Cambridge so we can do something about that.

2004 Cos Insolia Grecanico
(2007-02-21 13:06:39 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Cos Insolia Grecanico 95/100

A fantastic white wine, well worth the money. Strong hints of vanilla, some berry, and very smooth.

2005 Santa Margherita Valdadige Pinot Grigio

Light and smooth, this white was very tasty. I'd certainly try it again, though I didn't feel it had a full body.

2004 Yellow Tail Reserve Shiraz
(2006-07-02 17:37:53 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Yellow Tail Reserve Shiraz 82/100

A far smoother shiraz than I usually am used to, this Yellow Tail Reserve is just a bit better than their usual offerings. I really enjoyed this bottle and the flavor it offered.

2004 Virgin Vines Chardonnay
(2006-07-02 17:35:59 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Virgin Vines Chardonnay 75/100

I tend to stay away from screw-top wines, but I gave this Virgin Vines chardonnay a try and needless to say, I wasn't impressed. There's nothing special about its taste and it has a bit of a bite to it in the aftertaste.

2002 Yellow Tail Reserve Chardonnay
(2006-07-02 17:33:14 UTC) buddy icon 2002 Yellow Tail Reserve Chardonnay 90/100

One of my favorite chardonnays to date, the Yellow Tail Reserve is not much more expensive than any other bottle of Yellow Tail, yet it has a more flavorful taste. Smooth and full-bodied, it's definitely worth a try.

2002 Ecco Domani 2002 Merlot
(2006-07-02 17:24:23 UTC) buddy icon 2002 Ecco Domani 2002 Merlot 82/100

This medium body merlot was not as dry as most of the reds I'm used to, but the flavor was decent.

2002 Dog House Maxie's Merlot (Screw Cap)
(2006-06-12 14:45:09 UTC) buddy icon 2002 Dog House Maxie's Merlot (Screw Cap) 75/100

The thick smell of wood came from the bottle even before I poured it and the taste was strong. There was a hint of cherry, but it was otherwise drowned by the oak flavor. I didn't really enjoy this wine, especially without food.
