  Simi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Very pretty ruby color. Oaky, minty nose with some blackberry. Initial palate sensation is fruity, almost sweet. Again blackberry flavors, followed by some "woody" things. Tannins sneak up in there, but not terribly distracting. Medium-length, pleasant finish. Read More

  Snoothrank:

The nose is classic Zin, with a rich combination of ripe fruit scents, from ripe blackberries, sweet cherries and plums, along with a characteristic sweet spice that practically dares you to drink in the whole glass. The taste is very fruit forward, but not rea... Read More

  Snoothrank:

  Fairly oaky and tight on the nose with dark currant and plum fruit over cigar box and caramel aromas topped by hints of minty herbs and ash. Nicely textured in the mouth, this is soft and smooth with a firm backbone of tannins. The flavors today run toward the oaky end of the spectrum, with spicy wood, vanilla and toast notes throughout the pal... Read More

  Trione Vineyards Alexander Valley Bordeaux Blend 2008

  Snoothrank:

  This comes in a gigantic bottle. An initial flood of quite clearly Cabernet driven aromas quickly tightens up revealing a rather restrained array of black currant, vanilla, mulberry, tobacco and allspice driven aromas. This is tight in the mouth with a pop of mistiness on entry. Powerful and dense, yet elegant and transparent, this is very tigh... Read More
