This wine has a beautiful coral color in the clear bottle and the glass. The nose is lovely, with lemon and cherry aromas leading the way. The palate offers a very nice bit of acidity, along with a flavor profile which includes citrus, raspberry, black cherry, herbs, and sour gummy candy. The finish is savory and medium in length. It’s a very food-friendly wine, with fresh acidity and a fruity profile. I would love to have this with pork, salmon, chicken, or just about any kind of sandwich. — 5 days ago

This wine is a pale yellow, with some light frizzante showing on the sides of the glass. The nose shows a floral aspect, with notes of apricot, mango, lemon, and lanolin. The palate is just as complex, with citrus minerality, salinity, and a nutty flavor. The acidity is middling, but on the brighter side of it. The wine finishes long and savory. It will be a nice pair with shrimp or crab. — 23 days ago

This wine is a rich salmon color, with a nice clarity. The nose features cherries, strawberries, a hint of lemon and stone fruit, and a light minerality. Flavors of fruit dominate the palate. Cherry, pear, apricot, lemon, and tangerine all play together. There is a subtle salinity running through the sip. The medium finish is fruity and the acidity is fresh but not racy. I had it with shrimp scampi, and it worked out just fine. — a month ago

This wine has a light orange color, owing to the skin contact with the white grapes from which it’s made. The nose is almost all citrus, mainly tangerine and lemon, with some spice thrown in for good measure. The palate is a delight. Apricot, citrus, and a bit of fancy teabag flavors are in the mix. I notice the reviews for it are less than enthusiastic, but I'll stamp my foot in favor of it. — a month ago

This wine is a clear straw color in the glass. The muted nose shows some stone fruit and minerality, but there is not too much there. The palate is more lively, with a tart citrus, melon, and nectarine flavor profile. It definitely tastes more like a wine made from white grapes. The acidity is rather bold, which pairs well with the citrus element. If you have a pork chop made with fruit, this would be an excellent pairing. I found that the wine was also a great pair with a spicy cucumber and tomato salad, so it’s versatile. — 7 days ago

This wine colors up in a light straw tint, and it’s a little cloudy. The nose offers minerals and various types of citrus aromas, like lime, orange, and lemon. A strong note of apricot and peach also appears. The palate has stone fruit, citrus, and a good streak of salinity. That savory edge lasts through the rather lengthy finish, while the acidity is brisk. This is a nice wine as an aperitif, but it also pairs well with a spicy shrimp dish. — a month ago

This wine has a greenish gold tint in the glass. The nose offers plenty of minerality, from wet sidewalk to limes. The palate is similarly blessed with savory salinity as well as a racy acidity. Notes of pear, stone fruit and Meyer lemon also appear, but are more subdued. The finish is quite long and tart. Pair with shrimp or crab, or simply enjoy a sip or two. It’s a delicious wine. — a month ago

This wine has a light straw color with a very slight frizzante quality. The nose shows lemon, apricot, and a floral component. On the palate there is plenty of citrus minerality, a touch of stone fruit, salinity, and an acidity that’s zippy, almost racy. The sip finishes quickly, but leaves minerals and Meyer lemon behind. Use it as an aperitif or pair it with oysters or shellfish of any sort. — 9 days ago

The wine has a rich ruby color. The nose is all about ripe, red fruit. Strawberry, cherry, plum, and blueberry notes abound, all very fresh due to the tank aging. On the palate, we find those fruits repeated, except with a dressing of earthy minerals on them. The tannins are semi-firm and the acidity is bright. This wine will take a chill well, and will be a great pairing with backyard barbecues this summer. — 21 days ago

9.5

This wine is a medium-dark ruby color in the glass. The nose is fully dark, showing plum, blackberry, sour cherry, and anise aromas. The palate is a shocker. I had never had a wine made from the Mondeuse grape, and I was taken aback. Those dark fruits are noticeable, but they appear alongside a massive minerality. The earthy tone of this wine takes no prisoners. I would say it’s like a brawny Pinot Noir, but that doesn’t do it justice. Maybe a Pinot Noir blended with Syrah, except we know that never happens. Right? This wine is an experience, one for which you should brace yourself. — a month ago
