Though it didn't have the usual buttery oakiness I've come to expect from Mer Soleil Chardonnay, I was thrilled to taste such rich fruitiness. Silver comes bottled in a "cement" bottle to remind us that it was aged in small concrete tanks from France. This allows, like oak, a trace of oxygen to seep in which helps to enhance the flavor. Very bright fresh fruit characters. It was opened at our home in Bensalem during a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with 2 other couples. — 12 years ago

The 2011 Andis Meritage is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in concrete tanks and finished with a nice compliment of French oak, the wine expresses aromas and flavors of cedar, strawberry, black cherry and coffee. Delicious paired with grilled meats, rich cheese and savory stews. #Andis #Meritage #ConcreteTanks — 11 years ago

A great Sauvignon Blanc from a boutique winery out of Santa Maria (Presqu'ile). Partly Presqu'ile and Riverbench vineyards this wine shows it's uniqueness with intriguing hints of jalapeño. Seven months in neutral oak, stainless steel and concrete egg. — 12 years ago
