Colour made me go 'ahum'..: Amber-orange-gold.
Nose is dominated by caramel, butterscotch, roasted nuts. Evolved, mature. Sure. Clearly this was better, fresher, a few years ago.
But in the mouth it's still surprisingly well balanced, not tired nor oxidised. Interesting notes of sweet tobacco, peach and orange marmelade, dried apricots, honey drizzled pecans. Very nice next to a salade of grilled veggies and Iberico ham! — 10 years ago
A wonderful crisp and refreshing wine, lightly sweetened. Perfect as an aperitif or with (as suggested on the label) with from age persillée, pâtisseries, or un salade de fruits. — 11 years ago
A rare find, Kalin Cellars only releases to its mailing list. It's very difficult, indeed to find an example of an aged California Semillon. The nose is lush, with layers of dried apricots and pear jelly, marzipan and brown butter sauce. In the mouth, it's equally rich, glycerolly and silky...walnut oil, mandarin orange. An incredible treat and absolutely lovely with Salade Niçoise with seared Ahi tuna. — 11 years ago

Pétiellant, Caberbet Franc. Similar to a Lambrusco, but more delicate and strawberry-y. — 10 years ago
The perfect companion to a classic summer dish—Salade Niçoise. The
Terrebrune Bandol Rosé is one of the more winsome, elegant rosés I've tasted this year. Primarly composed of Mourvèdre grown in blue Trias limestone soils, it is the minerality that really shines, along with breezy notes of alpine strawberries, raspberries, white peach and Rainier cherries. It is drier and more refined on the palate than the nose belies, with freshness, energy and acidic verve all dancing 'round a pronounced vein of chalk. — 10 years ago
