3/29/2024 - VinedyRoad Likes this wine: 89 pointsFavorite of a few Charlottesville area wineries' Viogniers we tried. Did not disappoint last night at home. Very good QFP. Note after winery visit found it at local Wegman's supermarket for several $'s less than at winery. |

2015 Château La DominiqueSt. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend more |
3/15/2024 - VinedyRoad Likes this wine: 89 pointsvery disappointing, perhaps a tainted bottle based on others' scores. I thought it to be past its prime. Found it to have little flavor and no finish. Serviceable but not worth what I paid nor did it live up to others comments. |

2014 Cade Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Howell Mountainmore |
2/4/2024 - VinedyRoad Likes this wine: 95 pointsAmazing. Was surprised that I still needed 30-45 minutes in a small bulb decanter to settle in. Color and nose showed almost no sign of aging. Only slight negative is finish is relatively short for a wine of its quality. This was last of two '14's, fortunately there is still a '15. |

2015 Trinchero Cabernet Sauvignon BRVNapa Valley more |
2/2/2024 - VinedyRoad Likes this wine: 91 pointsSurprised how the tannins are still not fully integrated given its age. After about an hour decant it finally settled in. May leave the last bottle for a year or two before opening. |

2011 Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella ClassicoCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
1/5/2024 - VinedyRoad Likes this wine: 92 pointsWas concerned bottle might be well past prime. In fact it needed about 30 minutes to open up and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Lot's of well balanced tertiary notes, sadly no 'raisin' tones remained. Per WS drinking window is through 25. Glad there's one bottle left in cellar |
