Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For September 28, 20151 min read

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, along with links to help you find these wines, so that you can try them for yourself. Cheers!

  • 10 Rockfall Christopher's Cabernet Sauvignon (Alexander Valley): Mountain fruit hitting complex high notes, the highest yet to come. $100 A >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Wakefield St Andrews Single Vineyard Release Cabernet Sauvignon (Clare Valley): Chocolate and herbs as main course; and it works. $60 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 14 Wakefield Estate Riesling (Clare Valley): Clare goes all tropical, while losing almost none of its steely stare's power and focus. $17 B >>find this wine<<
  • 12 Donnachiara Aglianico Campania (Montefalcone): Cherries & brambly blackberries in abundance, all of which are gettin' wild tonight! $12 B >>find this wine<<
  • 14 Donnachiara Fiano di Avellino (Montefalcone): If the temperature is 75F or above, I dare you to NOT drink the hell out of this. $15 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 14 Bonny Doon Vineyard Clos de Gilroy Grenache (Monterey County): GMS! Gimmie Some More! GMS! Gimmie Some More! Ok, just pour already $17 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Masciarelli Marina Cvetic Riserva Trebbiano (Trebbiano D'Abruzzo Riserva): Lavender & honey? F-ck yes, sign me up for that, please $28 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 11 Emblem Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): Syrah & Zin up in the mix? Shut up, you'd suck it right down if you didn't know. $35 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • NV Ronco Calino Brut (Franciacorta): Needs to overcome its shyness, as there's much intriguing stuff underneath that delicate surface $29 B+ >>find this wine<<
