This has a fantastic nose with sweet plums, toasted spices popping in a hot cast iron skillet, coffee tones and an enchanting candied violet/rose tone. The wine moves through stages alternately gaining a more roasted, caramelly tone and then reverting ...

Since my Dec 08 review I've tried some old barolos, and this shares some of their round fungal acidic traits, but with more of an acidic greeting. Sublimely mellow and loud at the same time. With each sip I taste something new, but I'll be damned if I ...

Fresh and intensely aromatic with layered fruit that suggest mangosteen and waxy yellow cherry, there is a nuance of starchy vegetal that resembles sunchoke but the notes of smoky bacon, almond, licorice all wrapped up with a saline edge are completely...

A beautiful, unique rose. Tart cranberry notes with a hint of herbiness, and very subtle oxidized qualities. Very tangy and fresher than other vintages I've had, while still being true to the aged rose style of this wine.

Mary Margaret McCamic

Firm stone fruit notes, earth, and mineral. Medium-bodied with a pleasant kick of acidity on the palate. Very good now, and I'd love to see how it mellows over the next year.

Gregory Dal Piaz

This opens with a rather intense asparagus note over sweeter braised celery tones. There is an emerging floral note but of a sturdy sort recalling carnations and the vegetal component takes on a fave bean note. Nuances of water chestnut, smoke, and wax...

The nose is funky with forest floor, mushrooms and some sour minerality all mixed together with rose petals, smoke and some light red licorice. The palate is a bit more straight forward (how could it not be?) with a sour strawberry and cedar tartness....

Really? I am the only person to review this wine? Really? C'mon Snooth-folks... you disappoint. This is a great wine and actually quite a nice wine to go with a variety of foods (we drank it with a 10-course meal recently (amongst other things)). Did ...

This opens with just a touch of an acetic tone then turns layered with an earthy, leathery core of jellied raspberry fruit with a touch of vanilla and high tones of pepper, cedar, and a brisk saline note. With airing this gains nuanced floral and star ...

Gregory Dal Piaz

A minor terpene note on the nose quickly blows off revealing a complex and compelling nose of roast tangerine, mineral, honeycomb, brushfire, and caramel corn, though more corn than caramel. The bright acids wash across the palate and lift the pink gra...

    Huerta de Albalá Syrah Vino de la Tierra de Cádiz Taberner #1 2006

    Snoothrank:

    Nose is a wonderful bold blast of ripe fruits with a touch of cedar. Well balanced tannins and a long finish accompany this lively flavorful syrah (80% syrah, with merlot and cab sauv). Also noticed a hint of cotton candy along the way. A truly enjoyable experience overall. Read More

  • June 2014

    We’re back with another cellar of the month. Perhaps unwittingly I’ve taken an editorial turn over the past few months. In addition to writing about wines and wine regions, I’m finding it increasingly interesting reading about the people that make this industry work. Now that of course means winemakers, sommeliers, and writers, but the story is ... Read More

    Viña Turzaballa Gran Reserva 2001

    Snoothrank:

    Earthy and funky at first with eggshell and soil notes, this blossoms slowly with raspberry and wild strawberry tones accented with dried citron peel. Light and fresh in the mouth, this shows some nutty oak up front before laying down a pure, crisp mid-palate replete with crystal clear raspberry fruit. This is high acid without being acidic and ...
