This was a great surprise. Apparently they are pre- phylloxera vines. The louse cannot survive in the sandy soil. This had tons of fruit ( notably blackberries, raspberries, plums). Soft tannins and a nice finish. Mouth velvet. Very nice. — 14 hours ago

Floral, little citrus and nuts, clean- and fresh. Good, little alcohol on the finish. Had it with chicken au poivre. The pepper may have been a bit much. Need to go a bit lighter on the pepper next time. — 22 days ago

Fragrant, cinnamon and spice. Good acidity, medium to light tannins, with blackberries and cherry notes. Feels young. I bet this would be great in 5 more years. — 6 days ago

Unique smoky nose. Little darker in color than shiavas I’ve had. Brambles, berries, almonds. Pretty quaffable. — 23 days ago

Really liked it. Reminded me of Shiraz of old. NOT oaky, Not Jammy. Nice berries, balance and delicious with or without food. — 6 days ago

Deep mahogany, richness in the mouth. Black fruit explodes in the mouth, and lingers to the finish. Some spice and smoke in there. Tannins in check. This is a really good CDR. — 7 days ago
