Lot of dark fruit: blackberries, blueberries, and a tinge of spice. Dark, the wine smells like it tastes. Good value. — a day ago

Seriously, has there ever been a disappointing red wine from Contra Costa? Every red vine there is over 100 years old on ungrafted roots in 20 feet of pure sand. What kind of jerk can fuck that up?

Soft. My comparison with the Chilean carmenere is prob unfair given this is 30% Merlot. But it still has that distinctive carmenere taste. Nice fruit. Soft sandy tannins. The Merlot softens this. Very nice wine. — 16 days ago

Deep , dark intensely black fruity; nose reminds me of my Nonno’s cantina. Soft, elegant, and delicious. Usually with grilled steak I opt for Zinfandel, but this change up really hit. Thanks for the wine, Tom. — 2 days ago

I thought this was was a very good Touraine sav blanc. Slightly citrus, some stone fruit and zippy acidity. — 4 days ago

Little apricot, light citrus, and lemon grass. Crisp acidity with a bit of noticeable saline and a slight, pleasant bitterness on the finish. Having this with Spanish tortilla. My Dane Maisie enjoyed the ‘nose’ of this wine. — 13 days ago

Some tannins in the initial impression; opens up to a fruity taste, where the finish is tannic. Not overbearing tannins, but I wouldn’t call it “smooth”. Beautiful nose. — 20 days ago

Crisp, some apple, citrus, and a long finish. Biancello is the local grape along the Metauro River, which flows through Fano to the Adriatic. My nonna was Fanese, so I have an affinity for this. My last bottle. This is a seafood/ simmer app wine. It’s 60, so break out the shorts and fire up the grill! — 2 days ago

Grenache rose. Pale pink, light, crisp, nice strawberry- like mouth. Cracked it to sit outside for a “warm” Friday afternoon. It almost hit 50! At least the sun was bright. — 12 days ago

Pretty intense. Deep purple. Has that classic dark Berry/ Sandy tannin/ spice carmenere mouth. I really like this grape. Just opened a carmenere from the veneto. New world v old smackdown. — 16 days ago
