Crap. Just alcohol and astringency. It’s cheap at $31.85 but it’s not worth drinking at any price. — 3 days ago

Lovely Sagrantino. Gets much better after one-hour decant. So much flavor. Powerful and strong, with pepper and bright red fruit. Tannins are all smooth already. — 10 days ago

A little too strong now but still a nice cherry-flavored wine. Better in 5 years and likely too early to drink now. Still a nice value at $45 and a good accompaniment to my Czech beef stew. Needs beef. — 21 days ago

Big without character or stable flavor. Not much of a nose either. Just power for power’s sake. — 6 days ago

Disappointing. Astringent and acidic. Not a good Bordeaux. — 14 days ago

Not good. Just strong with alcohol and weak with flavor. — 20 days ago

A great value under $35. A high quality Cabernet Sauvignon that will be drinkable someday, but not yet. Perhaps 2030. It does not need many more years of aging. Now it’s just boldly overpowering and will make your teeth grit. But the potential is definitely there. — 21 days ago

Red-fruit driven Cabernet Sauvignon. Smooth and elegant. So good. A perfect example of the California style of Cabernet Sauvignon. — 7 days ago

Good Barolo but nothing special. Reasonably priced and a good value at $35. Tastes like Barolo should taste. — 14 days ago

M.O.’s Edcora Vineyard is much better than its Sage Ridge Vineyard. Powerful and strong but not over-extracted. Better in five years but still drinkable now. Complex flavor palette with pepper, leather, earth mixed with a dark and brooding side. Peppery nose. Worth its $85 price. — 21 days ago
