Sipping Fine Wine

An 18th century chateau, overlooking the Isle valley, facing Pomerol and the Saint-Emilion limestone hillsides, belonged to the same family for three centuries took over by Michel Rullier in 1955, and his daughter Brigitte took the helm in 2002. Dark Ruby with an array of berry aromas and smoky scents. On the palate plum and cherry flavors with cacao, tobacco and smoky cedar notes with herb spice. Firm chalky tannins, long finish ending with earthy mineral notes. Still tasting ok, but drink now! — 5 years ago

Very inviting nose with ripe prunes and blackberries, a touch of cassis and a hint of spices with cedar wood, pepper & cinnamon. On the palate quite sleek & cool with fine, filigrane structure. Polished tannins, juicy acidity, a sense of authenticity concreted by the tart plum fruit and earthy undertones. This is a delicious blend (Zw, Bf, Me) and excellent value for money. — 6 years ago

Leute, trinkt mehr St. Laurent!! Für Pinot-Freunde genau das Richtige. Gerhard Pittnauer aus Gols im Burgenland ist für mich der Großmeister dieser Sorte und außerdem noch einer der spannendsten Menschen die ich kennenlernen durfte. — 8 years ago

"Cuvée Brigette." 70% Malbec, 22% Cab Sauvignon, and 8% Syrah, one of two blends at this medium price point from Bodega Carinae. (The other is Cuvée Phillippe, with more Cab Sauv and Syrah, and less Malbec). We preferred this one and found it a great bargain at ARS 100; USD 7) — 10 years ago

Smells like strawberries, raspberries, lemons and a touch of smoke. Great acidity, minerality and mouth feel. Taste similar to nose. Super fresh and gorgeous color too. — 6 years ago

This is the "Jennifer" Grenache Rose from Rarecat. Another lovely wine from Rarecat. I am a bit partial to the 2015 Jennifer Rose, but this is terrific. Love Rarecat wines. — 8 years ago

Crisp, dry, tart, little tiny bubbles. Acidic that cuts through crab legs dipped in lemon butter. This is 100% Pinot noir grapes and not the blend, which I’m sure is the reason it’s not as sweet. Perfect for a Valentine’s Day dinner. — 5 years ago

From a time when oak use was a bit more prominent here, the nose is complex but not that Blaufränkisch - oak, spice, earth and blackberries. Palate is clean, lots of fruit, silky flow, oak creaminess but with a little more of the fresh blue and black fruit and a crack of pepper. Pretty long, too. Nicely composed. — 9 years ago
