Rivalry and murder in an old, California, family winery.

Tasting 17 - Horse Heaven Hills - Red Blend Les Chevaux

• Name: Horse Heaven Hills - Red Blend Les Chevaux
• Variety: Red Blend
• Region: Columbia Valley, Washington
• Country: USA
• Year: 2015
• Price: Not sure - served by my host.
• Review: (www.winemag.com) The mint, green herb, vanilla and blackberry aromas are elusive. The flavors are lightly styled, with a sweet finish.
• Your review: Medium red color and clear. Detected a smooth creaminess that I hadn't sensed in a red wine before. A little spicy.
• Paired with pastas with meat sauce, pesto.  Roasted sweet peppers, chicken and mushrooms.  

Tasting 16 - Satis Dei

• Name: Satis Dei
• Variety: Syrah - 55%, Grenache - 45%
• Region: Tierra di Castilla
• Country: Spain
• Year: 2016
• Price: Not sure - served by my host.
• Review: (www.traderjoes.com) As the name says, it’s a blend of two grapes that are giants of the Spanish wine scene: both the Syrah and the Garnacha grapes were grown in the Tierra de Castilla region, located in the very heart of the country. The 55% Syrah brings big body and quite the pronounced structure, including upfront tannins. The 45% Garnacha contributes a nice counterbalance to those tannins, along with red fruit tones. Overall, the aromatic, fruity profile—with touches of oak and a long, intense finish—promises to make quite the impression on whoever is around when you drink it..
• Your review: Medium red color and clear. Strong tannins and fruitiness. Not overpowering alcohol.
• Paired grilled eggplant, zucchini, fried tofu, and spicy garbanzo beans.

Tasting 15 - Head Snapper Radiant Red Blend

• Name: It's a Head Snapper Radiant Red Blend
• Variety: Blend of red grapes, bottle didn't say
• Region: Livermore, California
• Country: USA
• Year: Not shown
• Price: Not sure - served by my host.
• Review: (www.tastings.com) Black garnet color. Fruity aromas of toasted fruit cake with butter, marzipan, and vanilla fudge with a slightly chewy, soft, fruity medium-full body and a smooth, captivating, breezy black licorice and spiced tea finish with crunchy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A full-bodied red that will be a nice wine for the winter holidays.
• Your review: Dark in color and tannic. Aromas of berries and cherries.
• Paired with cheese and crackers and olives.

Tasting 14 - Kirkland Prosecco

• Name: Kirkland Prosecco
• Variety: Most likely Glera, but bottle didn't say
• Region: Asolo, Veneto
• Country: Italy
• Year: Not shown
• Price: Not sure - gift.  Probably ~$7.
• Review: (costcowineblog.com) The Kirkland Prosecco is a DOCG wine, the highest quality designation that a Prosecco can have because it's both controlled (controllata) and guaranteed (guarantita). ... Having only 11% ABV and being “extra dry” according to the back label, this wine is light, fruity, and with just a hint of sweetness. 
• Your review: Nice, tiny bubbles, perfect sweetness, fruity taste.
• Paired with cheese and crackers, but kept drinking it with the chicken parmesan.

Tasting 13 - Barboursville Virginia Merlot

• Name: Barboursville Vineyards, Virginia Merlot
• Variety: Merlot
• Region: Barboursville, Albemarle County, Virginia
• Country: USA
• Year: 2017
• Price: $14.99.
• Review: No review found, but here are the winemakers notes: Established as one of the estate’s most important and consistent varietals, this classic Merlot is one of our most popular wines, for its very gratifying palate and food pairing manners. Supple, silky, yet with attractive tannic grip, the wine is forthcoming with luscious aromas and flavors which suggest it most frequently in everyday dining, and when a glass by itself is desired.. 
• Your review: Medium body, dark berry and earthy aroma.  Mild in the mouth, a little on the dry side. Pleasant after taste.
• Paired with a Tuscan kale and mushroom stew.

Tasting 12 - Rosso di Montalcino

• Name: Casanova di Neri, Rosso di Montalcino
• Variety: Sangiovese
• Region: Tuscany
• Country: Italy
• Year: 2013
• Price ? Served at a friend's house.
• Review (klwines.com): Dried cherry, fruitcake, and fennel come out on the nose of this Rosso di Montalcino. A hint of mint accents the juicy cherry notes on the palate, which shows good depth of flavor. There’s lots of youthful vitality here yet, though the tannins are fine enough to make this approachable now. 
• Your review: Medium body, kind of acid in a not pleasant way. Fruity aromas not too strong.
• Paired with a plate of liguine and clam sauce.

Tasting 11 - Chianti

• Name: Straccali Chianti
• Variety: Merlot, Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero
• Region: Chianti
• Country: Italy
• Year: 2014
• Price ? Served at a friend's house.
• Review (wine.com): Straccali Chianti is vibrant ruby red in color. On the nose the wine is bright with youthful aromas of ripe red fruit. On the palate, velvety and refreshing with good structure.
• Your review: Medium bodied, dry, intense and herbal.
• Paired with a thick lentil, sweet potato stew. I think I would have rather tried it with the lamb.

Tasting 10 - Ancient Vines Cline

• Name: Ancient Vines Cline
• Variety: Zinfandel
• Region: Contra Costa County, California
• Country: USA
• Year: 2016
• Price ? Served at a friend's house.
• Review (wine.com): The 2016 Ancient Vines Zinfandel shows spicy, bright strawberry, with coffee and chocolate characters. Ripe fruit and soft tannins make this a mouth-coating rich vintage. Aging on new and used oak has lent this wine a subtle vanilla quality that nicely complements the explosive fruit notes.
• Your review: Full bodied.  Balanced between sweet and dry, leaning toward dry. Dark, fruity aroma. Tried to taste vanilla but couldn't detect it.
• Paired with a lamb stew that stood up well to it.
