2017 Ana Diogo-Draper Paso Robles Tempranillo
Saturday Jan 02, 2021
Saturday Jan 02, 2021
Ana's top-notch Tempranillo is intensely fruity and flush with plump berry flavors, like taking your pick of the juiciest fruit from bushels of blackberries, cherries and plums, all topped off with a delicate touch of mocha from a year of barrel-aging in fancy French oak.

Aromatics of red plum and autumn leaves are accented by subtle notes of lavendar and boysenberry. The mid-palate offers flavors of Bing cherry, and ripe raspberry, finishing with soft, well integrated tannins with a hint of pomegranate. All I can say is WOW!!!

Gum drop laced blackberry and cherry notes are accented with violet, smoke and herb elements. supposedly a hint of banana lingering on the finish. I have to say, not one of my favorites. 2020 really disappointed me.

Very interesting California Barbera, This one runs more on the soother feel but not as tannic. Blackberry flavors greet you with this wine also with an earth smell that reminded me of a Cabernet Franc.

Black Girl Magic - Red Blend
Friday Oct 02, 2020
Friday Oct 02, 2020
A complex, well-crafted and inviting wine that shows tobacco and vanilla bean notes alongside generous plum, raspberry, and blackberry. The ripe and juicy mouth offers the chocolate cherry flavors typical of Merlot blend with the peppery spice of Cabernet to round out the full body. The finish is bold, gripping, and invites another sip. $24.99

2019 Placer Andaluz - Tempranillo/Syrah
Wednesday Sep 30, 2020
Wednesday Sep 30, 2020
The Tempranillo was youthful and vibrant, packing a punch of flavor, a ton of potential. The Syrah balanced the Tempranillo, adding elegance, structure and a little note of underlying spice. The Tempranillo accounts for the primary grape in this blend. It propels this wine to be a nice fruit forward wine with red fruits leading on the palate. The Syrah is there and adds some really nice balance, as well as an underlying note of peppery spice.

This soft but full-bodied wine smells like maple syrup and brown sugar and tastes ripe, almost sweet, due to low acidity and plenty of oak treatment
