First time I’ve seen this variety outside of Chile. Color of the inside of a dead ripe Santa Rosa plum. Aroma is savory and earthy. Olives and Asian plum sauce. Just a bit of blackberry cobbler. Flavors are nice. Mulberry and cherry but with a hint of licorice and tobacco. Hint oily? Thick feel. Fig too. This is nice. More complex and savory than most of the Chilean versions I know. A unique and intriguing red. Glad I got a bottle all the way down in CA at Grocery Outlet. Hope to visit the winery in Yakima someday. — 8 days ago

This is a blood red, fruit flavor driven Pinot. Has some elegance, but lacks character. Reminiscent of CA central coast style Pinot. — a month ago
This is a unique Zin that has actually held up with the age. It’s a smooth criminal of sorts. Likable and easier to quaff than the complex Zins they also produce. Nice stuff. — a day ago
Modern art label is alright. Reminds me of my grandparents art style. Nice color. Black cherry juice hue. Aroma is earthy and jammy. Fairly classic Zin, but with a hot sauna and rocks thing. Flavors are nice. Streak of flintiness to go with the fruit. Plenty of acidic zip. This is a good food wine. Friends with tomatoes and olives, cheeses and basil. Winner of supermarket wine. — 10 days ago
Boring and meh label. And what is a ‘Matchlock’? Color is good. Aroma of berry and dry leaves. Flavors are full and expected. Grippy and decent. It’s a fairly true to type Paso Cab. — a month ago
Cool label. Planetary. Deep color. Maroon. Smells a bit earthy with a berry undertone. Flavors are decent. Smooth and easy to drink. Plums. Bit of bite on the end. This isn’t fruit bombed and overdone as many Arg Malbecs can be. It’s a good everyday drinker. Pleasing, but not very dynamic. — 5 days ago
Decent label, but kinda cheesy. Light and bright color. Smells ripe and fruity. Flavors are gummy fruits and cherry jolly ranchers. Hint of rhubarb pie. This is unique, but not very complex. — 22 days ago
This is fairly well balanced and nice Merlot. Easy and drinkable — 23 days ago

This is an on point Rhone red. Lighter and lightly smokey as the French Grenache tends toward. It’s good food wine. Hint of olives. — 2 hours ago
