Weekly Twitter Wine Mini Reviews Round-Up for 2010-10-29

02 Churchill's LBV Port (Porto): Somebody tell Jack Sparrow that when the rum is all gone, this rum-ish & pruney port might do instead $29 B ->
07 Line 39 Petite Sirah (North Coast): It might be a dark & grapey one-trick pony, but it's a *tasty* dark & grapey one-trick pony. $10 C+ ->
06 Robert Biale "Royal Punishers" Petite Sirah (Napa Valley): Blackberry, game & smoke won't punish tastebuds, but will punish wallets $42 B ->
NV Graham Beck Brut Rose (Robertson/Stellenbosch): Finishes a bit of a brute, but comes on as tangy & fun as a mixed fruit cocktail. $14 B- ->
09 Bonny Doon Contra (Central Coast): The price is right for this fun, almost candied berry, lip-smacking-with-pork-chops red blend. $14 B- ->
08 Graham Beck Viognier (Robertson): The honey & peach are far from a joke, but there's way too much smoke for just 20% french oak. $14 B- ->
08 Paul Dolan Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino): A bit of a heavy hand, but that hand is dealing lemon grass & citrus fruits n spades. $18 B- ->
08 Paul Dolan Chardonnay (Mendocino): The smoke might run you out, but don't leave before you meet the pear, golden apple & vanilla. $18 B- ->
08 Paul Dolan Pinot Noir (Mendocino): A Burgundian dons a cowboy hat, spurs, boots, & moseys out on the range. And it almost works. $29 B- ->
07 Paul Dolan Zinfandel (Mendocino): One of the best, most complex, complete and ageworthy Zins I've had in what seems like forever. $25 B+ ->
07 Paul Dolan Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino): So much chocolate you'll feel like you're at a tasting with the Easter Bunny, & like it. $24 B ->
06 Paul Dolan Deep Red (Mendocino): Big, pruny, rough, but as pure & true-to-place an expression as you're likely to find in the U.S. $42 B+ ->
