9.1

Maybe the highest rated Sav Blanc I’ve had: quite strong (in a good way!) on the nose: the entry into what’s coming next with notes of grapefruit, smoke and green apple on the nose - which corresponds to the palette. Sharp, citrus acidic finish punctuates a great glass from start to finish. Viva la France! — 7 days ago

Sweeter then I’d normally go with - but balanced nicely with a chicken dish. Good structure, great price. — 2 months ago

A perfect, juicy Californian chard: light & crisp on the palette, pleasant on the nose. Drinks well alone, but best paired with something to balance the citrus after that first glass. — 3 months ago

Pretty solid Bordeaux blend! The CabSav and Merlot blend work well together. Has a kind of Cab Franc finish with the traditional Bordeaux elements of earth and a strong, commanding finish. Easy price point but sublime Big French red experience: Viva lá France! — 9 days ago

Perfectly smooth and easy sipping French White. Nice acidic kick towards the finish, so is best with a nice accompaniment. Also drinks solo - easy and well likable table white! — 2 months ago

8.7

A good, fruity sparkling rosé that does not disappoint. Sweet - so pair with something savory to balance this out but a nice afternoon sipper. Young, juicy red berry fruit notes throughout and ends with more of a juicy note. Good glass! — a month ago

A wonderfully blended Rioja - smooth, silky and perfect on the nose. Has a quiet presence on the palette that ramps up nicely with a sturdy finish. Mature red fruit and Spanish perfection in a glass - ¡salud! — 2 months ago
