Delicious, earthy, smooth. No big fruit in the front, just easy and velvet all the way through.

Outstanding wine!!! 60% Cabernet Franc and 30% Tempranillo. The grapes for this wine are estate grown. Deep red color with bright berry characteristics. Full bodied and well balanced with slight berry flavors up front and a strong earthy finish that stays with you. This wine is oaked but not over done. I would highly recommend this wine for pairing or sipping on its own.

Uncorked a classic Napa red from the cellar to celebrate independence. Decanted two hours. Fruity with mellowed tannins, hints of earth and eucalyptus.

Smooth, even-toned and balanced. Earthy. This is what Bordeaux is supposed to be.

Daddy LIKE. This is a wonderfully complex wine with ripe fruit flavors of plum and dark cherry interwoven with layers of mocha, spice box, and sweet tobacco. Nice long finish. While full in flavor this wine is not overwhelmingly big in body. Soft tannins--well balanced--excellent.

Smooth and earthy Argentinian goodness. Not sure why the name sounds Italian...

This cab has grown on me with each sip. More French in style (the earthiness) than Californian. I also get some green notes to go with the pleasant bell pepper flavor.

Cicchitti Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon - 2005I think Cabs from Argentina are one of the best kept secrets in the great world of wine. They have the quintessentially Argentine smoke character, that distinctly earthy flavor- but they are generally more European in style with a subtler fruit-forward character than a Napa Cab. I am a big fan- think they offer great value. (7/10)

This one was not my cup of tea. Heavy on the tannins which were a little overwhelming.

Really tasts like grilled sausage, perhaps even Brats- a surprising nose for a wine- but definitely gets you in the mood for tapas. A little leaner than I personally like in a Tempranillo.

Slight farm animal perfumes- somewhat integrated tannins, pretty lean as Tempranillos go, a little acidic as these go.

Almost a port like aroma on the nose, this Rioja is earthy and tannic. I personally prefer something more fruit forward.

I enjoyed this wine on my birthday at A16 in SF (thanks Alyssa!) What an incredible wine! This first growth is wonderfully complex with soft tannins lightened by its 14 years of age. Nice acidity and earthyness and tight finish.

9/10 - Many years of cellaring life left in this delightful left-bank Bordeaux. Healthy tannins - pronounced blue and blackberry notes-deliciously elegant. Would love to try the 1995 vintage again in 5-10 years.

We drank this last night at A16. Smooth layers of dark fruit (cherry, plum, blackberry) and oak characteristics grew stronger as the wine opened up. Distinct earthiness with aromas of dry forest floor. Firm tannins. Savored every sip! Thank you AJR.

* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005

More complex and powerful nose with blueberry and blackberry aromas, earth, dry dusty aromas with tar, smoke, and sour mash in the nose; a more complex wine than the ’98, the wine is also quite drier with the flavors of the fruit engaged through a grainy filter of dry tannins and earth; the wine seems to be in one of its closed periods, as I think that there is more depth and complexity in this wine than is apparent at this time; good solid finish with lots of balanced acidity and earthy, somewhat coarse flavors. (17.5/20)
