NV Mawby Blanc Brut, USA, Michigan, Leelanau Peninsula, Wine Review

Score: 
91
Grade: 
A-
Current Price: 
$27.00USD

This is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot gris and Riesling from northern Michigan.  Light golden in color, clear and bright with many tiny bubbles.  The nose is nice with some red apples and a touch of tangerine rind.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, apples with a slight bitter almond note.  Tasty.  This drinks well on its own, very clean, but really worked better with food.  Stuffed Mushrooms (with cheese) went quite well.  Drink over the next few years.    

2006 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon, USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Wine Review

Vintage: 
2006
Score: 
96
Grade: 
A
Current Price: 
$180.00USD

This is 97% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% Merlot from Washington state.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim, opaque and bright.  The nose has black cherries, cedar and dust.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Flavors of black cherries, some cassis, spice and cedar.  Good acidity.  Long finish.  At age 18, this is getting close to peak but still packs a punch.  It is a big wine.  Drink over the next ten to fifteen years.  It drinks well on its own and will work well with most (not seafood) dishes.  Roasted Chicken would work nicely.  

2021 North Coast Wine Club Sangiovese, American Red Wine, Wine Review

Grade: 
B+

Purple/garnet in color, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is nice with cherries, slight "tree bark", and forest floor.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, this is nice but begs for food.  Flavors of cherries, some dark cherries and nice earthiness.  Nice finish.  A nice choice for pizza.  Drink over the next few years.
