Holy extraction grandma. Imagine a bottle of Caymus and a bottle of MollyDooker (any MD, really) met at a party and hit it off.. the Caymus, being outgoing and forgetting it's manners, while slightly inebriated, started dancing a bit too close to the Molly Dooker. She, being equally overt, slightly even more intoxicated, and not being one to say no to a good time, gladly indulged and pulled him closer as the music roared louder. They made their way through the crowd, bumping and grinding, and stumbled out the door to Caymus' sup'd up '69 Mustang Mach 1. Molly, being a thrill seeker with a new found love for Rutherford but a bigger love for adventure, shouted at Caymus as he gripped the wheel - "let's leave this state in our dust!" The two sped across the countryside, hand in hand, and finally ran out of gas as they crossed the state line into Washington. It was there they made love. A lovechild was born. It's name - Levitation. Levi for short.

For those confused - it drinks like a lovechild of Caymus and Molly Dooker coming from Washington. Not bad juice. — 8 years ago

Back in April, I drank this with Alberto at his home/winery. While I'm not in his rustic kitchen eating his bruschetta and overlooking the Tuscan countryside, the wine is still fantastic. Fresh crushed cherries, earth, some bit of herbs, and a heavenly bouquet engulf you. #italy #tuscany #carmignano — 8 years ago

Red fruit at first, hints of countryside; like fresh air when the farm is down the road. Earthy and somewhat fruity. Earthy finish. Nice. — 9 years ago

Classic Brunello aromatically. You can almost smell the Tuscan countryside! This 2011 is drinking well. Ripe wild cherry notes, tannins are evident but working amazingly well with eggplant parmesan. Too hot for Amarone, looking for Italian wine, this great value Brunello was an excellent choice. Could be held for another 12 to 15 years if so inclined, but don't miss out on this opportunity. "Tom's choice" at Total Wines Claymont. — 9 years ago

On a tour through the countryside this week. Smells like, well, what it's supposed to: barnyard and wet leaves. I kept looking for some fruit in the aroma, but left empty handed. Taste is a great foil. Bright red fruit, aged olives, tobacco. Gamey, chalky core. A favorite! — 10 years ago

Fantastic everything I want in a Tuscan wine! Nose is phenomenal warm Tuscan countryside, whiff of sweet spice, warm nutmeg, real liquorice and tell-tale macerated cherry. For the UK price, excellent value. — 11 years ago

Damp countryside nose, hints of dark berries, with some bright hues peeking through on the pallet, small spice and slight dry on the finish - unique old world wine done with class — 12 years ago

Our recent meal at The Modern continued with the aid of this very food friendly Syrah from Domaine Jamet. Jamet is one of Cara's favorite producers, in part because of her penchant for barnyard notes (regressive childhood memories playing in the British countryside, maybe). Through the generosity of friends we have been lucky enough to try numerous vintages of the Cote Rôtie. The entry level Syrah was something new. It is distinctly Jamet in that the signature barnyard notes are present and distinctive. The difference lies in the structure. This wine is lightweight in structure and the tanins are barely there. It is extremely approachable in the near term, and was just gorgeous with my beef course at The Modern. I may snag a few bottles. Perhaps one to tuck into while the Cote Rôtie gains age. — 8 years ago

Deep, dark red. True Sicilian elegancy in the balance of the sweetness and bitterness. The wine body is full, dark and intense, symbolizing the intense temperatures, the countryside can experience.
This is an overall great wine, which can be enjoyed by itself or as a complement to dark, red meat, sausages, chocolate, and more. — 8 years ago

Transported to the French countryside with this wine. It is of a different time and place all together. Fragile. Elegant. Floral. Funky. This wine has it all. Going to the hideout for a while since I stole this for roughly $22. — 9 years ago

What a wine! Grest natural Toscany, cloudy dark yellow sexy color, on the nose are nuts, italian countryside and hints of nice acidity. Its persistent, herbal from the beginning with light animality in the end. This is so good to drink! — 9 years ago

This is what I imagine walking into a kitchen in the Tuscan countryside in late fall is like. Big pot of cinghiale stew on a wood burning stove, herbs hung from the rafters to dry and a big hug from Nona. — 9 years ago

Phenomenal, but there's a strong possibility the overall experience of savoring this wine on a beautiful day in the Tuscan countryside may have slightly impacted my rating. This is a wonderful property situated in a phenomenal setting in one of the mist picturesque regions of Italy. — 11 years ago

A heady aroma, as robust as a Sangiovese, yet deeper with intense red berries. The instant olfactory memory evoked is one of the French countryside, an environment where food is straight from farm to table. The initial taste is fresh with a round mouth-feel, fruits contrasted by sharp tannins. It evolves into spice, tobacco, freshly chopped wood; all the while performing a try-partite symphony on the palate - well balanced between sharp, mellow, and deep earthy flavours impossibly cascading over the senses all at once. The finish is savoury and sweet, it begs for a taste of strong cheese, and leaves the mouth watering - dearly anticipatory of the next sip.

Truly an exquisite find. — 11 years ago

Nice balance between deep rustic tone and refined silky finish. Berries come through along with leather, castello and cherry and licorice. Light in texture but lovely full essence of rich Umbrian countryside. Very satisfying and super value. — 8 years ago

This is quintessential Ribera del Duero. Upfront and exuberant, it transports you to a hot - I mean, HOT - summer's day in the Spanish countryside. The warmth almost exudes from the bottle. Firm but well-integrated tannins mingle with dark red berries, bramble and herbs; the result is a particularly savoury wine that will benefit notably with age. Try this in five years. — 9 years ago

Maybe it's the rolling hills of the northern Tuscan countryside or perhaps it's the ativan I took before popping into this bottle of Toscana Vermentino, either way it's quite enjoyable with green almond and subtle grapefruit flavors, with crisp acidity and subtle minerality. Nice FAB and complex flavors. — 10 years ago
