The producer is an octogenarian who works in Friuli and has dedicated his life to the discovery, preservation and promotion of near extinct grape varietals. This white has brightness with saline qualities and honey notes. Fresh and floral, it is a lovely wine for the summer.

One other thing: the cork is a composite of two different cork types, the traditional cork sadwiched between the reconstituted type. I don't think I've seen that before. — 6 years ago

5th Coravin pour since 7/25/15, still great, starting to mature. Deep ruby red with compkex aromas of black fruit, herbs and vanilla spice. The wine opened with fresh sweet ripe dark fruit, blackberry and black cherry, with oak, leather and cacao. Well balanced, tannins continuing to develop nicely, slightly savory, finishing with sweet oak notes. My notes from my five pours using Coravin were very consistent, but now noticing the wine maturing. It really
works! Works! Check back in 6months, 1/3 bottle left. — 7 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

A little quiet out of the gate, but rounded nicely into form after about an hour. Tough vintage in Rioja, and this definitely leans more on the feminine and acid driven side, which works for me. Classic Rioja, red fruit, leather, dust, balsamic and oak - beautiful with a rack of lamb. — 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

When Grenache works, wow, it's everything, fruit, texture, richness, freshness, what's the key to Grenache? Sometimes the terroir slot machine comes up with three cherries. — 10 years ago

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

Krug Grande Cuvée in Double Magnum. Harry's Bar. 2004 base wine edition. Another great effort from the House of Krug. Toasty and elegant, fine bubbles, with a deepness to it that few champagnes can offer. Not at the level of the 2002 base as of yet, but delicious none the less. Acidity is balanced and works perfectly to enhance the aromas and overall long finish. Excellent as usual. I would probably hold for another 5-7 years before opening another large format from this edition. — 7 years ago

Very easy to drink, light bodied wine with a rich but delicate balance of fruit, earthiness and light spice. Nothing in this wine is overbearing. It's smoothness and hint of cranberry would make this good with pork, chops or vanilla ice cream with hot fudge. — 7 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

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
