Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For October 16, 20172 min read

Posted on October 16, 2017 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!

  • 14 Sedger David Syrah (Rogue Valley): The view through this glass is smoky, dark, & dense; but what you can see is darn attractive. $42 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 14 The Hess Collection Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder): Supple and gorgeous; or, it will be in about 7 or so years. $62 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Stewart Merlot (Napa Valley): All of the notes in the Merlot chorus are being hit in tune here, you just need to listen for them. $50 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 14 Micheal Shaps Honah Lee Vineyard Petit Manseng (Monticello): The Manseng equivalent of sultry characters in a political intrigue. $30 B+ >>find this wine<<

  • 15 Monte Tondo Casette Foscarin (Soave Classico): Lemon zest and nuts can be sexy. Seriously, I'm not kidding; and neither is this. $27 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Basilisco Teodosio (Aglianico del Vulture): Plum, dark chocolate truffles, and vanilla, wrapped up in exquisitely smooth leather. $20 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 15 Weingut Oekonomierat J. Geil Scheurebe Kabinett (Rheinhessen): Flowers, spice, and more than just a kiss of candied pear. $16 B >>find this wine<<
