My wine merchant was out of E Guigal!!! This was a winning substitute. — 4 years ago
Wow, we opened a 2012 Russian River. Subtly fantastic — 2 years ago
We like this bottle. A pretty sound example of Malbec with a sound body through the finish. We will try it again to refine our appraisal. Good value for sure. — 2 years ago
Well, my merchant stoped selling E. Guigal Cote du Rhône claiming he was seeing too many corked returns. I’ve probably bought more bottles of Guigal than any other producer in the past 12 years. I came upon this bottle and believe I have found an acceptable alternative. It has a wonderful body and a richness that lingers through each sip. Give it a try. — 4 years ago
My go-to wine shop no longer carries Guigal. He claims he has too many “corked” returns so I haven’t had a bottle for 3+ years. It’s a wonderful dinner companion with sophistication that’s surprising at this price point. — 2 years ago
A perplexing one, this bottle. On the tongue it starts well but finishes weak. When later paired with a soft cheese it’s finish improved markedly — 2 years ago
Cocoa, cocoa, cocoa Jeeze. More later — 4 years ago

East to buy, easy to drink. What’s not to like. A little thin on the tongue but plenty of flavor on the finish. — 4 months ago
