2005 Havens Bourriquot

This is a phenomenally good bottle. I could just swirl and smell it all evening! Wish I had bought more than 2!

2001 Labastida Castillo Rioja Reserva

This is really nice. Very fruity, nice tannins, like silk. It's got some earthy/vegetal components too. I could drink this all night long!

2006 Neyers Zinfandel Pato Vineyard
(2010-01-04 00:52:09 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Neyers Zinfandel Pato Vineyard 91/100

This is a great zin. It's got some tobacco notes and lots of cherry/red fruit. It's really well balanced and easy to drink, and the fruit is not over the top at all. I am enjoying it! Highly recommended.

2009 Bodega Norton Malbec

Nothing special - loads of fruit and creamy vanilla. Totally drinkable but nothing I'm rushing out to buy again.

2006 Terra Di Vento Petrale Aglianico

oh, so drinkable. Delicious, food friendly, notes of cranberry & other red fruit. Gorgeous nose, great finish. YUM. Not as earthy as I might have hoped for, but so pleasant. Highly recommended.

2007 "Clone 5" Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

I enjoyed this more the second day than the first. It got rounder and fuller overnight, and the fruit got more balanced. New world and jammy for sure, in a delicious kind of way!

2007 Don Ramon Vino Tinto Barrica

Very fruity. Bright red fruits. Nothing overwhelmingly complicated about this wine. It's simple and straightforward. Maybe it'll evolve a bit overnight but for now it's perfectly pleasant. A bit on the oaky side.

2007 Regaleali Nero D'Avola
(2009-12-06 02:29:34 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Regaleali Nero D'Avola 87/100

Pleasant but a little thin on the finish & mid-palate. Good strawberry notes up front and a pretty pleasant nose. Better after some aeration!

2006 Vina Zaco Tempranillo
(2009-12-02 03:07:12 UTC) buddy icon 2006 Vina Zaco Tempranillo 90/100

Very nice. Bright red fruit, some good creaminess and a hint of funk, which makes this very interesting. Very good. Great wine to keep around!

2007 Sharpshooter Pinot Noir
(2009-11-13 22:44:21 UTC) buddy icon 2007 Sharpshooter Pinot Noir 90/100

Really nice. Bright red fruit, some notes of mint and a little bit earthy. Great pinot.
