On Oct 30

Great Zin. Tons of bramble fruit flavors, yet is very balanced. Nice long finish. Very enjoyable bottle.

Great color, and I enjoyed the black cherry and plum flavors and spicy finish. This is easy drinking and at a good price point.

Will look forward to seeing how this evolves over time in the cellar. Nice cassis aroma, with a twinge of chocolate. Full fruit palate with a long and peppery finish.

"I did read that he was from Burgundy, which I thought was cool! Thanks for the tip on the Chardonnay - I will definitely seek it out. Love the white Burgundies, but don't love their price tag, so I'll give the Radford Dale a try!

Have a great weekend!"

"Alex Dale is from Burgundy, I know you wouldn't guess from the name. Their Chardonnay, which was about $20 no idea if it's more or less now, was great and about as Burgundian as an Chardonnay I've had that wasn't from Burgundy. Worth looking around for if you like that style. The shiraz/viognier is pretty good too but a notch below the other but I bet in a vintage or two it's going to rock!"

"It was my first wine of theirs, and I was impressed! Will definitely seek out some more. :) Anything else you'd recommend other than the Gravity?"

"Great note on the Radford Dale. I am a big fan of their wines. I think you're right about the gravity. Give it 2-3 years and revisit."
