Wine Reviews

95

Domaine Della 2023 Pinot Noir, Graham Family Vineyard, Russian River Valley ($90)

A twist of red licorice and rose petals are suspended in an almost weightless mouthfeel. Delicate with intention, this is a focused Pinot Noir, its character lifted by fine acidity. Gracious and outgoing, with exotic spices of cumin, paprika, and incense.

95

Dylan’s Ghost 2023 Proprietary Red, Hell Hollow, Napa Valley ($105)

Chewy and meaty, with dark, expressive, brambly blackberries and bittersweet dark chocolate. Powered by new leather, baking spices, sweet soil, and firm tannins, one doesn’t have to travel to the depths of hell to enjoy this heavenly red.

92

Eccentric 2024 Epic Cabernet Sauvignon, Argentina ($15)

Dynamic notes of ripe black cherry, blueberry, and vanilla sandalwood take form. Plush tannins are a textural delight.

91

Eccentric 2025 Chardonnay, Argentina ($11)

Sweet peach, honeysuckle, and pineapple are profound and vivid flavors: awe-inspiring for such a value-driven wine.

90

Eccentric 2025 Merlot, Argentina ($11)

Ripe cherries, cranberries, and milk chocolate are glossy textured notes that glide seamlessly across the palate. Sparked by tobacco and bright acidity. The finish stretches with a striking, fresh tone.

90

Eccentric 2025 Pinot Noir, Argentina ($11)

Earthy and savory, with a pop of black cherry mocha. Tannins are sleek matched with lively acidity, resulting in a bright finish.

90

Eccentric 2025 Red Blend, Argentina ($11)

Concentrated flavors of black plum, espresso, and dried violets are quite expressive. Herbaceous mid-point tones surface, sweet and nuanced enough to accent burnished oak tones.

92

Echo Bay 2025 Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand ($17)

Highly aromatic, with fresh thyme and gooseberry. Juicy notes of yellow apple, Key lime, and a hint of vanilla line the palate.
