Definitely impressed! One of the better wines I've had in a while — 3 years ago
Very comparable to Bogle Vineyard’s Phantom- a very nice red varietal in the $20 to $30 range. — 4 years ago
Very nice Malbec. Really enjoyable with good fruit and a pleasant finish. I agree with Ryan that it is better the second day. — 5 years ago

So even though my freestyle pumpkin carving did not go well I did get to enjoy this nice blend to ease the pain of the death of my artistic dreams, pumpkin category — 6 years ago
Sorry for being AWOL. But I bring tidings of great joy. The 2014 is out! (So is Bogle Phantom. More later! I just kiss on the first date!) I love Le Fiacre du Pape. Hands down one of the best values -- and most under the radar -- wines on the market. Brought to me many vintages ago by Señor Haro, a formidable presence in the wine world. The 2014 has great fruit, with a nice meaty backdrop. Lots of bacon fat and mushroom. Awesome. Unlike past years a bit tannic. Needs to breathe! Always one to have on hand. — 7 years ago
Enjoying, surprisingly it's 14.5% but balanced. — a year ago
Lush and fruity, with notes of berry and chocolate. One of my favorite ports! — 2 years ago

Pretty big I’m sure the bottle has a placebo effect. Good value for the price though I want to blind taste it though with a cheap apothic dark or Bogle red blend. — 4 years ago
Terrific old vine zin: full of aroma and flavor that was rich and smooth on the tongue and was perfect with pasta and tomato-butter sauce. — 6 years ago
Along with McManis and Bogle, this is one of my favorite widely available Cab Sauvs under $15 here in NYC... — 7 years ago
Trying to find good wine for under$12 to replace Bogle PS. Bought 12 different bottles. Red fruit nose. Raspberry tobacco splash of vanilla with smooth tannins. Medium bodied. Tasty. Good length. Would buy again. Very good weekday wine. Great price point. — a year ago
OUAV (£50) this was a treat! Had it with beef wellington and dauphenoiuse with Chris on Christmas Eve. Perfection. — 3 years ago
I’m a fan of SA and Loire Chenin so I was looking forward to this ✔️
👁: pale lemon with a tinge of green
👃: strikingly ripe fruit. Candied pineapple, green apple (but they kind that’s already turned yellow from ripeness), lemon, and butterscotch
👅: the same ripe tropical fruit, including mango and lychee. Balanced with an intense but well judged acidity. Smooth and knitted together quite well. A touch of bitterness on the finish.
Unexpected given ripeness, but this really works for me. 😋 — 4 years ago
Very good, full bodied like a cab — 5 years ago
Quite similar to Bogle but a bit thinner. Screw top. Great cheaper Bogle option! — 5 years ago
This is a great cab, worth the moderate price tag. Comparable to bogle phantom, which is the bar for wine around the $20 mark. — 6 years ago
