2003 - Penfolds Bin 138 Proprietary Blend

distinctive red

1 star 1 star 1 star
Non- multi regional blend. It is also one of only two Penfolds reds, Coonawarra produces zesty, spicy and supple Shiraz fruit that exhibits a richness of flavour and a mouth-filling roundness on the palate. Bin 128 is true to this style.

Non- multi regional blend. It is also one of only two Penfolds reds, French oak generally lends a wine understated, aromatic characters and is therefore a better choice with more subtly flavoured wines.  Coonawarra produces zesty, spicy and supple Shiraz fruit that exhibits a richness of flavour and a mouth-filling roundness on the palate. Bin 128 is true to this style.

2000 - Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli Sangiovese Grosso

Great homework

Apr 08, 2008

The '00 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino was acutally a bit tough to figure out.  We spent a few hours just trying to pin down what were some of the aromoas were were tasting, but once we got that nailed down, it was very enjoyable.  It has gorgeous aromas of raspberry, flowers and mineral follow through to a silky palate; SMOOTH.

2002 - Thomas Fogarty Chardonnay Chardonnay

Decent white for the price

Apr 08, 2008
1 star 1 star
This is pretty consistent with most of the Thomas Fogarty that we have tasted, it's medium straw color; very good to excellent ripe peach aroma, very good fruit concentration; full bodied; dry, medium acidity, good balance; attractive guava-like flavors with a shaving of American oak, medium depth; medium finish, textured aftertaste.

2001 - Michael Pozzan Marianna Proprietary Blend

Nice deep complex blend

Apr 08, 2008
1 star 1 star 1 star
This is not extremely special, but it's good value.  It's deep ruby in color, very ripe fruit aromas with a hint of sweet oak; medium-bodied, fairly complex palate, with moderate tannin, dry, good acidity; medium finish, nice and perky aftertaste.

2004 - Avignonesi Cortona Toro Desiderio Merlot

Great price for a strong red

Extreme strong presence, ruby red in color. Full bodied fused with hits of cherry and berry flavor.  Farily complex, very very interesting aftertaste, great with a piece of high quality steak.

Fruit and Coffee fusion

Apr 07, 2008

Barrel-fermented in French and American oak barriques and hogsheads where it has been aging for 14 months. Hints of both fruits and expresso. This is  a full-bodied with a hint of chocolate.

2004 - The Hess Collection Winery The Hess Collection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon

Subttle slice of heaven

Apr 07, 2008
1 star 1 star 1 star 1 star
Immediately drinkable for the soft purity of the tannins and complex cassis, chocolate and oak flavors, it has the sturdy structure to develop for some years, but is best now for its elegant purity.  Blueberry and black currant flavor. The wine's power lies in its tannin, this needs cellar time to mellow.

2004 - Cardinale Proprietary Red Wine Proprietary Blend

Simply amazing

One of the best California blends on the market.  Full-bodied, execellent texture as soon as it enters the mouth, powerful but smooth delivery, great fruit flavors.  Would recommend to everyone.
