Champalou is always consistent and a great representation of Chenin Blanc of the Loire Valley. This one is Granny Smith apple, white grape, and white peach with notes of minerals, coriander, and white pepper. — a day ago

This is solid, less fruity than Deerfield's standard sauv blanc, somewhere between a Cali and a Pouille Fume. Tropical fruit and minerals. — 22 days ago

Raspberry and wild strawberry underlaid with earth notes. Not particularly complex but solid. — a month ago

Blueberry and cassis, bouquet of baking spice and maple syrup have this reminding me of blueberry pancakes. Not sweet though as the tannins from the Pennsylvania oak and cab shine through. As if breathes in the glass, earthy tones emerge including some charred pine and licorice notes. Very interesting wine. — 3 months ago

App wouldn't save my bottle so here's an update with a store image. Classic petrol and mineral aromas with apricot, citrus, and dried green apple. Amazing finish but not as epic as some of the other crus I've had. — a day ago

Strong garrigue (sage and lavender dominate the herbal components), black pepper, and mineral aromas. Tinges of green tobacco, pink peppercorns, and dried chilies. Definitely one of the best GSMs I've had. — a month ago

Interesting Syrah rose with notes of fresh watermelon, wild strawberry, and orange peel. Hit the spot as we transition to the brutally hot Phoenix summer.

Solid white with subtle mineral, floral, and citrus notes. I don't have much experience with white CDRs so not much to compare it to. — 6 days ago

Other commenters may not have prepared themselves for the sheer tannic power of sagrantino, even with only 15% in this blend. Pours a deep brick red veering toward brown, showing significant aging. But ready to drink, probably at its peak. Still, needs time to breathe. Strong saddle leather and horsetail (the plant) aromas backed by roasted game and a bouquet of spices that reminds me of a chocolate-heavy mole. — 22 days ago

The 2021 was a bit more interesting than this, so maybe this needs a couple years to mellow. Either way still a great QPR Chardonnay with notes of dried mango, butter, baking spices, and... — 3 months ago
