|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zulai, Areni | 2019 | 4.1 | Vayots Dzor, Armenia | May, 2023 | It reminded me of a Pinot Noir, but kind of spicy - notes of cherry, blackberry, and pepper. A little earthy as well. This was a dark red, ruby wine. |
| Clay Shannon, Cabernet Sauvignon | 2020 | 4.1 | California - North Coast | June, 2023 | Oak, tobacco, dark fruit notes, sort of dry medium acidity, not really smooth or tannic. Very very good wine, I was happy with this bottle. |
