Nice initial blast of cherry. But sours on the finish. Drink these up. I think this one peaked already. Still drinking ok. But I liked the first glass more than the last two hours later. — a day ago

Wow, this was terrific. Loved it. Soft in the mouth, like a puffy satin pillow. Dark mahogany, with an expressive nose and lots of cherry, some spice, earthiness and leather. Only 13.2 alcohol. I was a little concerned my rib eye might overwhelm it, but they complimented each other. — 6 days ago

Rhône Blend: 34% garnacha,33% monastrell,33% Syrah, but this is not from the Rhône as it says above. This is from Valencia. Tastes like a Côtes du Rhône, though. Nice, inexpensive weekday wine. — 15 days ago

Fragrant chard with apple/ pear w a hint of citrus on the finish. Excellent acidity and some stony minerality. Bright and welcoming. Tom- it may be trying to pass itself off as a more haughty cotes de beaune, however. — 4 days ago

Terrific fruit, both on the nose and the palate. Natural yeast in this biodynamic wine. Slight earthiness, great balance between fruit, tannins, acidity. Had with grilled, marinated flap steak. Yum. — 12 days ago

Some blackberry, Smokey notes, so soft in the mouth. Went very well with risotto and sausage. I have to think that’s the pairing in Piedmont for most people. The average Italian there ain’t drinking Barbaresco every night. — 11 days ago

Thanks to my brother for this. Inky, blueberry, plum, and leather. Tannins provide backbone. My only quibble is there isn’t a whole lot on this nose. Enjoyable. Had it with garlic/ wine braised short ribs over polenta. Went great. I think this is the time to open these — 18 days ago
