8.7

2023 vintage. Vibrant ruby red in color, heavy floral aromas and earthy tones on the nose, plums and cherry on the palette, decent Garnacha or Grenache grape blend, opened up a little after the first 1-2 hrs, paired fairly well with barbecue chicken and mixed salad, decent value for the price. — a day ago

9.0

2021 vintage. Excellent super Tuscan. Elegant notes of cherry, leather, and spice on the nose; a very subtle and medium bodied red, continued to open up after the initial pour. Decent legs, this paired well with steak and truffle risotto. Would definitely enjoy again. — 12 days ago

9.1

2022 vintage. Dark Ruby in color, powerful floral aromas on the nose, smooth notes of plum and blackberry, not chewy but a perfect viscosity for this heavy Malbec/Cab blend; ideal blend, 64% Malbec and 36% Cabernet, makes for the perfect amount of spice and smoke. — 21 days ago

8.8

2023 vintage. Excellent color in the glass, heavy floral aromas on the nose, notes of cherry and jam on the palette with a tail of spice and vanilla on the finish. Paired well with filet mignon, a decently balanced Zinfandel grape varietal, another 1-2 years and this would’ve been even more perfect. — 18 days ago

9.0

2022 vintage. One of the best Rosso Di Montalcino wines I’ve had since our romp through Montalcino enroute to Sorrento in the summer of 2017. Excellent Sangiovese, pleasant floral aromas of black cherry on the nose, vibrant ruby red colors on the initial pour, soft tannins and a delicately structured taste with a light finish; not as harsh as a Brunello, this vintage is perfect. Continued to open up after the first hour, this paired extremely well with a spicy pasta and meatballs dish. Would enjoy again. — 22 days ago

9.0

2023 vintage. Smoke, spice, leather, plum, and blackberry on the initial aroma after opening. Surprisingly smooth fruit forward tastes of berry and plum, not chewy or too tannin heavy. A wholesome blend of Napa County Cabernet with a strong finish. — 11 days ago

Marsannay Pinot Noir

8.7

2023 vintage. A very young Burgundy, standard earthy tones of Pinot Noir, extremely light and subtle, fruit forward taste on the palette, this needs another 3 or 4 years in the bottle, which may help this mature into a more robust Pinot. — 20 days ago
