One Man, 40 Rieslings

There's an argument to be made for Riesling, and it's made on a regular basis. It goes something like this: Riesling is great, it's flexible and it's food friendly, with wines ranging from dry to syrupy sweet, so there's something for everyone to like....

Finally got to visit the winery after having a taste in San Diego! With a nose of toasty caramel and blackcurrant, this had layers of tannins, with juicy notes of dark red cherries, walnuts and cigar. Lingering finish of dark fruits. I would not call ...

Christy Canterbury MW

Entirely Cabernet, this wine’s highly-defined aromas include black currant, graphite, fireplace smoke and eucalyptus and evolve with time in the decanter. The marked acidity and steely tannins makes this a candidate for a forgotten corner of the cellar.

Almost entirely Cabernet, this juice comes from some of Washington’s oldest vines. The color shows an inky concentration and the tannins are broad-shouldered. The nose is highly perfumed with coffee grinds, dark chocolate, blueberries, black plum and c...

This bottle has enough age on it to round out the edges on the Syrah. What you are left with is a very well balanced bottle with soft velvety mouth feel, blackberry and vanilla. This is an impressive bottle of wine.

The wine is a deep ruby color, and the nose is a fabulous combination of leather, limestone, tobacco and ripe black fruit, with just a hint of dried herbs and mint over the top. The taste is a bit jammy up front, with lots of rush ripe fruit, plum and...

  • Lake Breeze Pinot Blanc 2012

    May 2013

    Lake Breeze Pinot Blanc 2012

    Snoothrank:

    Almost colorless, this Pinot Blanc bursts with fruit and sweet expectation on the nose; there is pear, kiwi, lime and marshmallow in abundance. But the entry is thick and juicy (like the chewing gum of the same name) and rather sugary; the finish is actually quite short with the evaporating fumes of Bartlett Pear lingering on the front palate....

    Venturi Schulze Pinot Gris Blend Vancouver Island Brut Naturel 2008

    Snoothrank:

    Great value under the bottle-cap/crown cap of this wine! Bottle fermented. Done in the style of champagne, but lacking of any major yeasty/biscuity notes you might typically expect with such. A dry wine with a fairly fine bead, creamy texture, soft acidity/freshness, and surprising complexity. A very longish but subtle finish. Honey, pear, and a... Read More
