2023 Veritas Estate Bluebird RosêLake Michigan Shore Rosé Blend more |
5/20/2024 - Vino Me wrote: 87 pointsSourced from the Nitz vineyard.This is a Rhone blend made up primarily of Syrah and Grenache. 20 cases were made. Pale pink color. The winemaker said she was going for a Bandol style but this was very light bodied which likely resulted from the direct pressing the grapes were given. I think some skin contact before pressing would have benefitted this wine. This had a somewhat creamy texture with strawberry and gooseberry notes. 87 points. |

4/20/2024 - Vino Me wrote: 94 points3rd time I have had this wine and I still have 2 bottles in my cellar. The cork was wet and came out in 2 pieces. There was also signs of some slight seepage. However that did not effect the quality of the wine as it was really showing well at 21 years old. Deep gold color. Cotton candy nose. Good acidity to balance the sweetness. Tropical notes without any noticeable petrol. 94 points. |

2020 Andremily RoséSanta Barbara County Mourvèdre more |
4/20/2024 - Vino Me wrote: 85 pointsOpened by Lostverse. I think this is primarily Mouvedre. Dark reddish pink color. Full bodied. One of the heaviest Rose wines I have had. Dark spices and alcohol. Blackberry and cassis. Not sure what to make of this wine and really hard to score. Metallic finish. Needs food. In the end it is just too heavy and over the top for my taste. 85 points.

2003 Taylor (Fladgate) Porto VintagePort Blend more |
4/14/2024 - Vino Me wrote: 96 pointsI brought a half bottle of this to Las Vegas to celebrate my nephew's 21st birthday. Decanted an hour before drinking at a restaurant. Parker's review of this wine was glowing saying the 2003 could stand "shoulder to shoulder" with the finest ever produced by Fladgate. Heavily sedimented. Blackish red color. Supple tannins and rather smooth. Notes of prunes, figs, molasses and sweet black fruits. Good concentration. No heat on the long soft finish. Fantastic Port. Drinking well now. 96 points. |
