  • November 2009

    Gundlach Bundschu Gewürztraminer Estate Vineyard 2008

    $22.50


    HondaJohn's Review:

    I'm generally not a big fan of Gewurtz. Generally I find them dull and flat. This wine proved me wrong. Aromas of leche and grapefruit and some spice. Lots of layers of fruit flavors including grapefruit, leche and apricot. Good acid, not flat!

  • Gundlach-Bundschu Chardonnay Sonoma Valley 2007


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Has the feel of a Carneros Chardonnay. Lots of big fruit aroma like lemon, pineapple and some citrus I couldn't identify. Lots of citrus in the flavors with a creamy finish with some butterscotch but braced by good acidity.

  • Panther Creek Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard 2005

    Compare and Buy

    $43.34


    HondaJohn's Review:

    This is the true sense of Oregon Pinot and Shea vineyard. Nose is full of funk and earth. Lots of earthiness and layers of red and black cherry. Good acid and nice balance. Nice to taste an American wine with 13% alcohol with great flavors.

    2007 Anaba 'Coriol' White, Sonoma Valley 2007

    $28.00


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Okay ... couldn't wait to let this age more. Floral aromas but some nice honey notes. Nice acid with grapefruit, lime and leche. Developing nicely.

  • Bodega Norton Malbec Barrel Select 2006

    Compare and Buy

    $13.94


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Lots of aromas including caramel, tar and black fruit. Lots of black fruit, nice smooth tannins and long finish. Worked really well with a rib-eye and should only improve.

  • R Wines Boarding Pass 2007


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Softer and smoother than the 05 that I loved. More balanced but still high in alcohol. Some cocco, dark fruit and some oak. Dark fruit, some spice and nice finish.

  • Matanzas Creek Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

    Compare and Buy

    $31.99


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Not quite as intense as I was expecting. Had a little bit of a bite to it that suggested it could use some more time. Otherwise, nice red fruit and great leather and smoky aromas.

  • Matanzas Creek Winery Merlot Jackson Park Vineyard Bennett Valley 2005

    $49.00


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Lighter elegant Merlot. Hard to believe it is 100% merlot as it is complex and has hints of what I'd expect from other varietals. Clean wine with cassis and coffee with nice smoothness and long finish. Would like to see how this ages.

  • Matanzas Creek Winery Pinot Noir 2007

    Compare and Buy

    $30.99


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Very nice wine and one that I think will approve with age. Came across as a cross between a Carneros and Russian River Valley Pinot. Red cherry with a hint of caramel in the nose. Strawberry and cherry flavors with good acid.

  • Matanzas Creek Chardonnay Sonoma Valley 2007

    $29.00


    HondaJohn's Review:

    Somewhat soft style chardonnay. Aromas and taste were a bit muted but were delicate and nicely balanced. Finished with some mineral.
