| Alexandria Nicole Cellars | Destiny Ridge Vineyard, Horse Heaven Hills | 2021 | Barbera | 93 | 8/19/2025 | This wine is very much like an Italian Barbera. You get berry, plum, spicy notes, dried herbs and flowers.
The tannins are not high on this one. But the acid is high. The finish is tart and long. The concentration and intensity are high.
This is the first Horse Heaven Hills Barbara we`ve tried yet. The grapes seem to do well in an area where Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah are well at home. Alexandria Nicole wines are very good. We have more of these to come. And they are reasonably priced as well. | y |
| K Vintners | Jacks Vineyard, Walla Walla Valley | 2022 | Sangiovese | 96 | 8/18/2025 | My brother-in-law passed this on to me. It`s great! It has a fruity nose of berries, dried flowers and herbs, red plums, cayenne pepper, baking spices and vanilla.
The flavor is so intense, spicy, black and raspberry. The body is huge, as is the finish. There is great balance between the fruit and the acidity. You can`t go wrong with this wine. | y |
| Klipsun | Klipsun Vineyard, Red Mountain, Washington | 2021 | Blend (Red Table Wine) | 95 | 8/13/2025 | The blackberry, black currant, cassis, cocoa and coffee are so prevalent on the nose that not much else gets through. Thing is -- it`s gorgeous. It`s like sniffing a hot cup of cocoa when you`re camping.
The palate is cocoa silk, high acid, long finish, concentration and intensity.
This wine is reminiscient of Rutherford reds all the way to the dusty texture on the palate. This is a realy winner of a wine. You sip and then you want to sip it again. But its also got such a lovely nose, you can sit in a corner and just analyze. At a party, it will turn you into a bit of an introvert | y |
