2007 Wild Rock Cupids Arrow Pinot Noir
(2009-05-03 15:45:10 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Wild Rock Cupids Arrow Pinot Noir 93/100

Absolutely delicious and easy going while still commanding respect. Incredible particularly at the price point.

1999 Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon
(2009-05-03 15:40:55 UTC) buddy icon 1999 Shafer Hillside Select Cabernet Sauvignon 98/100

Massive wine. Ridiculous without being over-the-top with its fruit. Extraordinary balance of alcohol and fruit. Very long finish.

2006 Domaine Alfred DA Red
(2009-04-28 01:50:33 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Domaine Alfred DA Red 89/100

Too much heat to be great, but nice fruit, good, bright acid, good with food. Needs to decant for an hour.

2006 Mollydooker Goosebumps Sparkling Shiraz
(2007-10-20 20:56:30 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Mollydooker Goosebumps Sparkling Shiraz 82/100

Very, very strange midpalate, and remarkably NOT refreshing or luxurious. Tight nose, but a long finish.

2005 EVIL Cabernet Sauvignon
(2007-10-18 03:17:49 UTC) buddy icon 2005 EVIL Cabernet Sauvignon 86/100

Not bad for this price point, but it's a VERY young wine with tons of overwhelming tannis.

2003 Torre Muga Rioja
(2007-10-18 03:16:31 UTC) buddy icon 2003 Torre Muga Rioja 90/100

Straight-laced execution of a rioja, and it delivers... but it feels strangely perfunctory. Forgettable.

2005 DuMol Pinot Noir

2005 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir
(2007-10-18 03:12:23 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Merry Edwards Pinot Noir 95/100

2005 Qupe Syrah
(2007-10-18 03:11:21 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Qupe Syrah 87/100

Refreshing, but utterly forgettable.

2004 Plumpjack Estate Cabernet
(2007-10-18 03:06:02 UTC) buddy icon 2004 Plumpjack Estate Cabernet 98/100

My favorite cab. Period. Only makes me look forward to the reserve.
