Early, okay! My tongue is doing a happy dance. In my arena, perfection! Blackberries, Black Cherry, dark chocolate, expresso, black strap molasses, tar, graphite, vanilla bean, Eucalyptus, and Forrest floor! Mike Smith magic! — 4 months ago

Dangerously quaffable. Sweet marzipan with underlying tang. — 2 years ago

Honestly I haven’t been drinking wine for a while but this has reinvigorated my interest. Mosse is underrated these days. Depth and balance and finesse beyond its price tag. — 3 years ago

Really great value in a straightforward, honest, balanced Grenache. It’s grown within the Faugeres appellation but can’t claim the AOC apparently because it’s from deep sandy soils and not schist. No matter! Rayas grows Grenache in sand so there’s great precedent! Nose shows sappy kirsch-y fruit, lots of savory, mineral notes, and a touch of vanilla and spice. Soft and light-footed in the mouth. Quite dry, savory, and saline. Very soft tannin. Alcohol is relatively low at a stated 13.5. Drinking well now, it will certainly last a year or two longer, though I don’t think it will improve. I love wines like this. So food flexible. — 8 months ago

2021/12/10-11. An appealingly bright ruby, this has lots of herby cherry and some complexity from earth and a hint of spice. — 2 years ago

Inky, deep and brooding Syrah that’s smoothly old-world refined. Paired well with French bistro fare — 8 months ago

9.1

Sangiovese by way of Corsica. Somewhat earthier, spicier, more rustic. Acid a bit less and overall less polished than, say, a Tuscan Chianti. But a quite nice restrained wine. — 2 years ago

9.0

Salty, crunchy, blood orange, and lemon citrus, mineral inflected attack that fans out to salt and fruit in the finish. Not for everyone but a nice change from your typical rose. — 3 years ago

Absolutely incredible wine. Corsica is WAY too overlooked! — 4 years ago
