2019 Quivira Black Boar Zinfandel,Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma

You ever date someone so hot, so magnetic, so mind-meltingly irresistible that you know she’s going to break your heart—but you let her do it anyway? That’s the Quivira Black Boar Zinfandel. A full-throttle femme fatale in a bottle. Think Summer Finn from 500 Days of Summer—if she smoked cigars, rode motorcycles, and had a blackberry compote addiction.

From the first swirl, you know this Zin isn’t going to behave. It’s lush, heady, and dripping in black cherry and smoked spice, like it’s been sunbathing topless in a cedar box. It’s got that Dry Creek Valley swagger—juicy but tight, brooding but teasing. One minute she’s giving you ripe plum and peppery heat, the next she ghosts you with a flash of acidity that says, “Don’t get too comfortable, sweetheart.”

The tannins? Silky but manipulative. The finish? Long. Unforgettable. Slightly dangerous. You’ll taste her the next morning and question all your life choices… and then pour another glass.

This isn’t your Tuesday-night Netflix wine. This is the Zin you open after someone texts “u up?” and you say yes—knowing full well you’ll spiral. You’ll try to forget her. You’ll move on. But months from now, some random bar will have this on the list and you’ll think: Damn. She really was something.

So go ahead. Fall hard. The 2018 Quivira Black Boar Zinfandel isn’t here to love you back. It’s here to wreck you—and look good doing it….. Wine X Sez; XX1/2. #xratedwines #SummerFinnEnergy

2021 Smith-Madrone Estate Chardonnay, Spring Mountain, Napa

“The Zendaya of Napa whites—stunning, multi-layered, and impossible not to love.”

Let’s cut the bs: most Chardonnay these days is like reality TV—it’s everywhere, it’s often bloated, and you mostly pretend to like it because your mom or your boss does. But then along comes something like Smith-Madrone’s 2021 Estate Chardonnay, and suddenly you’re like, “Ohhh, so THIS is what everyone’s been trying to do.”

This wine is Spring Mountain’s mic drop, the liquid equivalent of Zendaya at the Met Gala: bold, graceful, dangerously refined, and showing zero signs of trying too hard. It’s giving complexity, it’s giving control, it’s giving, “I dry farmed this vine on a 35-degree slope without breaking a sweat, Karen.”

Let’s talk taste: imagine lemon curd made by a monk who only speaks in haiku, grilled pineapple served on a slab of wet limestone, and a flirtatious slap of white peach and toasted almond. There’s ginger and white pepper in there, too—like your Chardonnay just came back from a three-week silent retreat in Kyoto and now only wears linen and drops truth bombs.

The acidity? Mouthwatering. Like, Pavlov’s dog sees the bottle and starts drooling. And that finish? It lingers. Like your ex’s Spotify password—still hanging around, still useful, and still making you feel things.

Texture-wise, this thing is smoother than a freshly waxed Tesla. It’s creamy without being heavy, rich without being obnoxious. Think: silk robe, not velvet tracksuit.

And for $45? In Napa? That’s basically theft. Get two. One for now, one for that “future self” you keep promising you’ll take care of.

Final verdict:

If most Chardonnays are a Marvel sequel, this is the A24 indie film that wins Sundance and then haunts your dreams for weeks. Drink it slightly chilled, preferably while staring wistfully out a window and rethinking all your life choices. Or pair it with seafood, fresh pasta, or whatever makes you feel like a main character.

Wine X Sez: XXX & Hotter than Pedro Pascal in a knit sweater.

Clarice Pinot Noir, Gary’s Vineyard, Santa Lucia Highlands 2023

Let’s get one thing straight: this Pinot isn’t here to make friends. It’s brooding, a little wild, and probably smoked a cigarette behind the winery before bottling. The 2023 Clarice from Gary’s Vineyard doesn’t give a damn about being pretty—it’s here to throw elbows and remind you that finesse doesn’t have to be fragile.

First whiff? It’s all crushed cherries, warm dirt, dried herbs, and a little edge-of-the-knife funk that makes you do a double take. Like, should this smell this good? Or is it about to start a fight with your Bordeaux?

On the palate, it hits with dark fruit, spicy undertones, and that Santa Lucia Highlands grit—think black raspberry jam left out on a slate countertop in the sun. There’s structure, but none of that tight-ass, over-oaked nonsense. The acid’s sharp enough to wake you up, the tannins have bite, and the finish? Long, dry, and just a little bitter, like a good roast or a bad ex.

This wine isn’t elegant in the traditional sense—it’s compelling in the way a dive bar is more fun than a country club. If you want polish and politeness, move along. If you want something with a little swagger, this one’s already got its boots on your table.

2017 Cain Five, Meritage, Spring Mountain District, Napa: For those evenings when you’re pondering life’s most pretentious questions like, ‘Does terroir actually matter?’ and ‘What exactly am I flexing here?’ From the Spring Mountain District of Napa, this blend of five varietals is like a self-congratulatory pat on the back in wine form. The label whispers, ‘Five Varieties, One Vineyard,’ but all I hear is, ‘Five reasons to drink TWO…..’ Dark fruit, cedar, and that inevitable waft of “I just spent too much on wine, but I don't freaking care” nostalgia. Decant it, sip it, and tell your guests they ‘just wouldn’t understand.’ Cheers to the rule of five (I might have just made that up) Wine X Sez: XX1/2 #napavalley #springmountain #cabernet #foodporn #xratedwines #bottledancing ...

No, this one’s been hitting the gym, and it shows. From the first swirl, you’re hit with aromas that scream ripe raspberry and cherry, but not the polite kind, with a hint of reckless abandon.

Juicy red fruit leads the charge, backed by a punch of cracked black pepper and a whisper of earthiness that feels like it’s trying to keep things grounded—good luck with that.

And while the acidity keeps it fresh, there’s a decadent, almost hedonistic undercurrent that makes you wonder if this Grenache’s true calling is just to have a little too much fun.
