Brittan Vineyards 2014 “Basalt Block” Pinot Noir, McMinnville

by Keith S Wallace | 2014, Malbec, Pinot Noir | American Wine Reviews, Wine Reviews

Robert Brittan is best known as the winemaker responsible for  Stags’ Leap Winery’s Petit Sirahs. Those inky monsters redefined the grape as a luxury Napa Valley wine. Robert was the head winemaker throughout the nineties and became the winery’s president...

Matetic 2014 Corralillo Syrah, San Antonio Valley, Chile

by Keith S Wallace | 2014, chile, Corralillo, Matetic, syrah | South American Wine Reviews, Wine Reviews
