Took awhile to open. When it did, it was full-bodied, no aftertaste, notes primarily of blackberry, currants, and some tobacco. Paired well with filet. Enjoyed at Bourbon Steak, Nashville. — 7 days ago

Perhaps this vintage needs another year in the cellar? Citrusy, closer to Sauvignon Blanc, still pleasant, particularly in warm weather. Paired well with chicken. — 7 months ago

Spectacular with halibut. Nice balance of Chenin Blanc lightness/vanilla and Sauvignon Blanc fruit. — 10 months ago

Tried for the first time. Jammy, not tannic, yet too much for pasta (tortellini—yes, I should’ve had a white); probably better with veal or pork. — a year ago

First time tasting this wine. Found it to be very smooth yet full bodied. It paired well with pan-seared chicken. — 10 days ago

Took awhile to open, so perhaps it was a bit young. Really nice nose. Medium-bodied, decent balance of tannins and berries. My husband said that it “tasted like Chateauneuf du Pape”. No doubt it will pair well with the filets to come, but right now it goes great with Antoine’s bread. — 3 months ago

Full-bodied bodied by not astringent. Fruit forward but not overly so. Great with filet. — 10 months ago

Paired with Thanksgiving turkey; not bad. Definitely ready to drink, but not particularly memorable nor objectionable. — 2 months ago

Light tannins, somewhat fruit forward, reminded me of a Meritage. Good with filet. — 5 months ago

This was the jewel of all of the wine options at this particular restaurant. Full-bodied, a bit fruit-forward; went well with both veal Marsala and lasagna. Bonus: the leftover wine, when corked and stored in the refrigerator, held up well for a week. — 7 months ago
