Eben Sadie, King of South African Syrah, actually is a genius with every varietal he works with. From Syrah, Grenache, Chenin Blanc, and even this, 100% old vine Cinsault, raised in concrete and stainless steel, this wine is pure, vibrant, spicy and fresh with great depth in its pretty bouquet of wild strawberries, dark , stemmy fruit and minerals. A unique wine that can certainly age yet is absolutely delicious now. A fine, fine representation of single varietal Cinsault made by a great winemaker at the height of his craft. — 8 years ago

Although it might seem like infanticide to drink this wine this young, it works surprisingly well now. Fabulous knows underbrush and spices and also some plum nuances. On the pallet what really surprises is the velvety and soft nature, while at the same time the tannins provide structure without getting in the way of the overall package. One might mistake this for a second growth Bordeaux of a good year, Albeit with a distinctive personality. — 8 years ago

If you happen to have magret of duck lying around and perhaps serve it with duck fat fried potatoes, and maybe a side of Brussels sprouts, this works quite well despite its youth. Great QPR in cooler vintages. Honest earth-driven Willamette Pinot Noir. Re-buy? Hell yeah! — 9 years ago

Scents of raisin, sumac, and alcohol, accented with date, fig, and raisin flavors. The high alcohol content makes it a bit hot to taste -- and sounds off-putting, but this wine works. Really well. The per bottle price at Zaytinya reflects a 3x markup, which is fair enough, but I'd buy this over and over again at $53 to have at home with a Mediterranean themed meal. — 8 years ago
I'm enjoying Gamay quite a bit.
The balance of fruit and acidity, plus the earthiness make it a great daily drinker.
Works with just about anything when it comes to food. — 9 years ago
