Buttery light for a Chardonnay but perfect for a happy hour in the summer!!! — 9 years ago
Not usually a fan of chardonnay, but this was left at my house after a party, and I'm sure glad! This is a soft, smooth wine that's very buttery and luscious without that oakiness that usually makes me cringe. — 9 years ago
Dark fruit, earthy, open canvas for food pairing, delicate tannins, smooth acidity. Great with your meat and cheese! — 9 years ago
Showing signs of oxidization, but underneath fig and bruised-apple aromas, the nose has a rich and secondary nose of dark black raspberries, cedar, tobacco, dried cherries, and a tinge of cumin. In the mouth, it resembles a printed canvas of dark fruit, leather, cedar, tobacco, and savory tamari notes. There’s a nice texture to the midpalate flavors. It is gorgeously balanced, medium bodied, with lively acidity, still some tannic grip - though refined, and a satisfying length.
This is a wine of substance, at an extremely interesting and delicious point in its life, available for an absolutely ridiculous price. Thanks @Alder Yarrow for the recommendation! (The winemaker is Cathy Corison). — 10 years ago
Best served chilled. Similar to V. Sattui Gamay Rouge — 11 years ago
Seesaw battle between floral and herbal on top of a subtle melon fruit canvas. Outstanding! — 11 years ago
A favorite from last summer, could never find it in Nashville. Still delicious and cheap. — 9 years ago
I'm picky on pinots. I don't like acidic ones. More medium bodied, slightly fruity, overall dry. This was perfect. Since I bought it at Ralph's, for the cost, it's very good. Good red wine to have on warm day — 9 years ago
St Emilion soul & substance, in spades, this is your ticket to ride. From the sublime #Bordeaux 2010 vintage, a cellar selection alert. Chateau Teyssier over delivers at the unassuming price of $29. Again, worth restating, you cannot get this quality from California in that same price range. A brilliant canvas of taunt tannins, painted w/ blackberries, dry earth, and ripe dark plums, and slightly dry taste of the skin. Recommend an hour decant, it evolves gorgeously. Acid to fruit ratio is spot on. The finish is long and lasting. Purchased 6 more just today. #stemilion #bordeaux #wine #winetasting — 10 years ago
If you'd a taste of true Saint Emilion style and class, this is your ticket to ride. From one of the more recent great #Bordeaux vintages, this bottle of Chateau Franc Mayne over delivers at the unassuming price of $45, you simply cannot get this quality from California in that same price range, a brilliant canvas of taunt tannins, painted w/ blackberries, dry earth, and ripe dark plums, and slightly dry taste of the skin. Decant an hour B4, it evolves w/ air. The finish is long and lasting. Purchased wine. — 11 years ago

Some smoky flint and poultry jumping out of the glass, the initial off-gas as this bloomed beautifully. The bottle only lasted about 45 minutes out on our table and in that time it settled nicely into a canvas of concentrated minerals white flowers perfect ripeness the right acidity. Lean and muscular, no fat, no human hands present here. Highly recommended. Iroulewhat?! Who would've known? Thanks kermit. Fried food for the win. — 10 years ago
Bubbles from Belgium! Light hint of green apples in this sparkling Chardonnay. Good apertif or a companion for something powerful - be it cheese, or might I suggest an awesome Belgium Chocolate. Perhaps even a sweet Liége-style waffle. The bottle says blanc de blancs - it's a good canvas in which to paint a good pairing vice being alone. — 11 years ago
