Vinted on January 29, 2011 binned in wine mini-reviews

07 Trivium “Les Ivrettes Vineyard” Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): Tiny production; big-time concentration & complex, juicy flavor. $65 A- #
07 Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay (Napa Valley): Enormous, but chock-full of tropical fruit & coconut complexity. +1 for wild yeasts! $60 B+ #
08 August Briggs Old Vines Zinfandel (Napa Valley): Blackberry in a bit of a smoky haze, but still a friend indeed to game meats. $34 B #
07 Newton Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): This dark currant, dark chocolate, dark *everything* ride gets a tad rough. $60 B #
06 Twisted Oak Tanner Vineyard Syrah (Calaveras County): Offering largesse in its dark berries & leather, & largeness in its alcohol. $32 B #
09 X Winery Nova Vineyard Zinfandel (Lake County): You’ll get cedar & jammy blackberry, but will feel every % point of its 14.5% abv. $19 B- #
06 Twisted Oak Murgatroyd (Calaveras County): Prune, vanilla & currants make for the most fun U can have since Snagglepuss’ retirement $24 B #
08 Banfi Chianti Classico: Socks aren’t going to be blown off, but pastas (& heavier wallets) will be enjoyed w/ this overachiever. $13 B- #
09 Piedemonte Rosado (Navarra): After a sweet, rosy & inciting start, your relationship with this Garnacha rose hits a rough patch. $9 C+ #
