Wine Reviews: Mini Round-Up for June 5, 2023

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 in a “mini-review” format. They are meant to be quirky, fun, and (mostly) easily-digestible reviews of (mostly) currently available wines (click here for the skinny on how to read them), and are presented links …

Taylor Fladgate Late Bottled Port 2018 $25 (92 points)

Shows a nice core of dark currant and fig fruit that’s been steeped with anise, alder and bittersweet cocoa. Give this a little time in a decanter or cellar for another couple of winters. Possesses the stuffing to cover slow sipping over a weekend. Drink now through 2027. 6,000 cases imported. Source : aff3a2bd120cdc4a81a9874b00cc83cb

A New Era (Dispatch From Collio, Part 2)

Generally, I am not at all a fan of most gender-focused/themed wine experiences. I mean, yes, we certainly need to support and call attention to groups of people who have been historically underrepresented in any given sphere such as wine, BUT… in my mind, we have winemakers. Some happen to identify as men, some as women, and all in all …

2018 Davis Bynum River West Vineyard Chardonnay

We were excited to get into this new addition to the Costco white wine section. Right off the bat the price caught our attention. $13.99 for Russian River Chardonnay? Usually you only find a Kirkland Signature bottle hitting that benchmark. Some later Internet searches turned up quite a bit of information on this bottle. Retail … Source : https://costcowineblog.com/2018-davis-bynum-river-west-vineyard-chardonnay/

Viña Bujanda Rioja Crianza 2019 $15 (88 points)

Drink now. 30,000 cases made, 4,000 cases imported. Source : c4c598472e8c38e635e995d3eda460bf
