I would call this a Nebbiolo if blind. Lovely nose of sweet cherry, orange peel, dried autumn leaf, baking spice, and very light barnyard. Medium to full body. Tasted very youthful on the palate with fresh acidity and good fruit intensity. Tannins start to resolve and lingers around on the long finish.
A blend of Merlot and Sangiovese. This should hold for another 5-8 years. — 25 days ago
This used to be labeled as Clos Noly, but since Clos de Monsieur Noly received Premier Cru status, the label was changed to Domaine Claude Manciat.
Decent complexity with Asian pear, lime, fresh cut grass, and flint. Round and textured, but somewhat flabby on the plate. Better served chilled.
Pouilly-Fuissé price has increased substantially since 22 vineyards were granted Premier Cru in 2020. This one is still reasonably priced at less than $20.00. — 8 days ago
A charming 100% Falanghina with ripe stone fruits commingling with fresh citrus fruit. Floral on the nose and mineral driven on the finish.
The winery is on the island of Ischia in the gulf of Naples, but the grapes were sourced from Benevento for this bottling. Would love to try the other bottlings from their estate vineyard on the island. — a month ago

A blend of 62% Merlot, 20% Malbec, 10% Petit Verdot, and 8% Syrah. Candied dark fruits with earthy undertone. Oak is nicely integrated. Supple soft palate. Delicious. — 5 days ago
