Decanted ~5hr.

Color is brown ruby, unfiltered.

Nose has cedar infused cherry-red raspberry, rose-violet florals, touch of alcohol, bright potpourri and wet soil. Nose is quite tight!

Palate has strawberry juice, orange peel, under-ripe cherry, dried herbs, blackberry jam and great (high) acidity. Finish is medium at this point in a young life.

Soo young, but very elegant! Future bottles should be 2023+

Lightly cloudy on the double decant for service this afternoon. Part of an epic E&M based afternoon plan as we sit by the chimnea on a beautiful early Spring day. The Cardinal's and Chickadee's are now singing the background chorus. — 7 years ago

70% Frappato, 30% Nero d’Avola. Medium ruby with a bright pink rim. Very reductive at the beginning. Then the explosion of fresh squeezed red tart cherry, raspberry, plum and cranberry juice. So pure and bright. Mixed with a hint of black pepper. Tons of red fruits on the palate as well. Bright tart acidity. Little tannins. Mouthwatering good. Killer wine. 12.5% alc — 8 years ago

60% Gamay, 40% Pinot. Pretty ruby color with pink edges. Herbs, spices, fresh cut roses, cinnamon, and bright strawberries. Light-bodied and at 12.5 you could, and will want to, gulp this stuff down quick. Show some patience and you'll see that it just keeps improving over the night. In the mouth, there's a ton of fresh fruit. Cherries, raspberries, and blackberries combine with wet grass and dirt to really showcase the funk. Gracefully dancing on your tongue, I'm quite impressed by this. — 9 years ago

Has to open another bottle! Color reveals some ages, good brownish rim. Graphite, wet stones, lots of liquorice, cinnamon at first on the nose. Ripe red cherry, plum and strawberry hiding behind the spices. Fairly concentrated juice, very elegant and beautiful mouth feel. 30s finish, little bit bitter at the end but doesn't conceal its elegance. 15.5% alc(never feel that high). 2006 vintage — 10 years ago

Very funky on the nose, after decanting funk mellowed out. Acidic, mineral forward, barnyard juice. Geuze-like — 8 years ago

Only the most perfectly golden, ripe berries without a hint of rot (noble or otherwise) go into making this phenomenal wine...it's all about creamy, luscious almost sensuous textures--EPIC JUICE! #Magnum #Keller #Hubacker — 12 years ago

Tasty, fruity (grapefruit especially), a bit buttery. What we drank with sommer during the KU-k-state game (2013). Great with colliery welsh cheddar! — 13 years ago

It's sunny and just over 30°F today, so fire in the chimnea time! First flames of 2019.

One of our favorite new (2009) AOC's in France, this is 80% Gamay & 20% Poulsard, but the epitome of 100% sparkling strawberry juice! So GD delicious!

One thing to note, last bottle is always the best, we're out of stock now, but don't hold these too long. We've seen bottle variation, likely best to track lot codes on the bottles and make sure your buying a newer version than the last, since we're talking about an NV product. — 7 years ago

Like your mom’s day old raspberry crisp with a fresh lemon juice squeeze, a healthy dusting of white pepper and a scoop of fatty vanilla bean ice cream, suddenly the doorbell rings, you answer and no one is there except for a basket of oily bratwurst cooked in duck fat — 8 years ago

Nice golden apple hew leads to a toned down citrus nose. Honeysuckle, pear, and lemon smoother the palate. Finish is a bit tart, but seems to last indefinitely! Some seriously good juice!! — 9 years ago

Oaked raspberry aroma with a hot, booziness to the nose. Smooth and lightly tannic. Medium bodied. Low acidity. Notes of cherry juice, raspberry, & plum. Jammy Zinfandel front that finishes like a cab with smoke & hotness. — 10 years ago

Third time trying this wine, opened the day before. From my father’s cellar. Something very interesting that I found out about this estate is that they air dry 30% of the grapes before they begin the fermentation process. The color is dark opaque garnet red with the brownish edges. Within the nose there are a lot of sweet berries or prunes. As it opened up more some brown sugar and hard candy came with the nose. The palate was very interesting, because of how sweet the nose smelt compared to the palate. The mouthfeel started off very sweet and light then changed to full and lingering finish. A little fur dancing across the tongue drying out my mouth. Soft/light start across the tongue and then spikes mid to end of the tongue. Not yet at the end of its life, probably has about two or so years left in it. Very interesting varietal that I need to get more experience with. Great QPR, especially for an Italian wine and only for $19. — 11 years ago
