Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For June 2, 20142 min read

Posted on June 2, 2014 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

So, like, what is this stuff, anyway?
I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine reviews (mostly from samples) and tasting notes with you via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are meant to be quirky, fun, and easily-digestible reviews of currently available wines. Below is a wrap-up of those twitter wine reviews from the past week (click here for the skinny on how to read them), along with links to help you find these wines, so that you can try them for yourself. Cheers!

  • 10 Doyenne Grand Ciel Vineyard Syrah (Red Mountain): Smooth leather, modern silkiness, and revving an engine that's a little hot. $65 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 10 Delille Cellars Grand Ciel Cabernet Sauvignon (Red Mountain): The fruit is deeper than a canyon, with modern, sexy adornments. $150 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 10 Betz Family Winery Pere de Famille Cabernet Sauvignon (columbia Valley): All that scaffolding? It's holding a ton of dried herbs. $85 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Betz Family Winery La Cote Patriarche Syrah (Yakima Valley): Tale of 2 cities; one peppery & bright, the other brooding & dark. $70 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Betz Family Winery Besoleil Red (Columbia Valley): Somehow, the kitchen sink red blend just got insanely, spicily interesting. $45 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 10 Delille Cellars D2 Red (Columbia Valley): Big, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy ass Merlot; did we mention sexy? Well, it's sexy $40 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 12 DeLille Cellars Chaleur Estate Blanc (Columbia Valley): Don't mistake subdued entry as standoffish; it's more stately than snobby. $37 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Doyenne Winemaker’s Select Roussanne (Red Mountain): Silky, fruity heft that's also, paradoxically, floral, lively and lithe. $40 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Col Solare Red (Red Mountain): Wound up like a clock spring, but should uncoil slowly – & nicely – given the requisite patience. $75 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Tamarack Counoise (Red Mountain): Proudly – & maybe even defiantly – sporting its rustic threads in a tasty and structured manner. $24 B >>find this wine<<
  • 09 Tamarack Cellars Ciel du Cheval Vineyard Reserve Red (Red Mountain): Tart, tannic, and taking you out for some high-end soy sauce. $50 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 09 Tamarack Cellars Reserve Syrah (Red Mountain): Meaty, mineral, & mad about saline; odd, for sure, but undeniably authentic, too. $40 B+ >>find this wine<<
