Posted on June 19, 2010 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

  • 07 Paraiso "West Terrace" Pinot Noir (Santa Lucia Highlands): Think red berry fireworks, only in your mouth. Showing beautifully. $40 A- #
  • 07 Paraiso Chardonnay (Santa Lucia Highlands): Lemon & a sweet touch of vanilla tat are balanced enough to belie 14.5% booze factor. $18 B+ #
  • Graham's 20 Year Old Tawny Port (Porto): Enough burnt sugar, coffee & caramel to send your sweet-teeth spinning in sheer delight. $50 A- #
  • 07 Quinta do Vesuvio Vintage Port (Porto): Simply put, one of the finest expressions of Port that I've ever tasted. Superb & sublime. $75 A+ #
  • 07 Brokenwood Shiraz (Hunter Valley): An odd bird combo of brambly red fruit & savory sauce, but u might dig the modest booze content. $35 B #
  • 07 Leitz Riesling Spatlese (Rheingau): Can likely last 20+ yrs but you won't want to wait that long. Especially when sushi is calling $22 A- #
  • 08 Olson Ogden "Margaret's Mandate" Marsanne (Napa Valley): Like sitting on a bench eating a peach by an overpriced honeysuckle bush. $35 B+ #
  • 08 Olson Ogden Manchester Ridge Viny'd Pinot Noir (Mendocino): A minor triumph of bright red cherry fruit, smoke & dark spices. Boss! $38 A- #
  • 08 Olson Ogden "Persuasion" Red (North Coast): This leather-clad guy sure is pleasant but he's a bit drunk & going all over the place $19 B- #
  • 05 Three Sticks Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma Valley): A big CA fruit boy in a Bordeaux-designed graphite-&-stone-colored tailored suit. $65 A- #
  • 06 Three Sticks Durell Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast): Cherry fruits galore, deftly balanced on spice. But BIG – so be prepared. $55 A- #
  • 07 Three Sticks Durell Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast): Well-made, but could pass for a Syrah. A bit too big for its own britches? $55 B #

    So here's one of the many things that drives me nuts about the PLCB.

    Go to the search page (http://www.lcbapps.lcb.state.pa.us/webapp/Product_Management/psi_ProductDefault_inter.asp?plcbNav=%7C32369%7C) and type in Brokenwood. I'll wait.

    First up: Brokenwood Cricket Pitch White 2007.

    Austrian?
