My last 2011 bottle. The estate of Sette Ponti lies in the heart of the Chianti zone, 15 miles northwest of the city of Arezzo, past the village of San Giustino Valdarno. Crognolo, aged in French Allier barriques, deep red with red fruit aromas and sweet perfumed spice. On the palate raspberry and cherry flavors, gentle spice and soft tannins with great mouthfeel. Good balance, lingering finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Aged well. — 8 years ago

This is a red port that is more on the sweet desert end than the alcohol tartiness of the portugal port. Very good. The chicks will dig this when I buy it and you can only buy in the store. Red desert wine but NOT liquid sugar. More respectable. Chicks will wnjoy. — 11 years ago

the 2013 vintage was special to drink. The full fruity bouquet made the mouth water for the first sip. Purchased this special one for $23.00 at the winery — 11 years ago

Jean Foillard is one of those winemakers whose wines I could take with me to a desert island. His wines are beautiful and complex, but wild in a way that invigorates. Love this wine. — 12 years ago

Incredible aromatic profile, texture, and long finish. Have tried the 2015 as well, which I felt was only slightly better because it had a freshness and higher acidity that this one lacks, but only a little. Overall, still one of the greatest desert wines I have tried. I can imagine this being incredible with foie gras all the way to a strawberry pana cotta.

Also, this stuff keeps really well. Left a bottle that was 3/4 empty in the fridge and forgot about it. Found it 3 months later, still delicious. — 7 years ago

Easy going and ever so enjoyable to drink. Red fruit is in the foreground with floral and some spicy notes backing it up. Balanced with a good structure and length. Some earthy complexity is developing in the glass which stimulates the more serious wine drinker. — 8 years ago

Good blend, Wahluke Slope always delivers. Curious to see how this wine will evolve as it breathes. 10/5/18 upped the rating to 90pts, cassis and boysenberry balanced with nice acidity. This is a great blend. — 8 years ago

This is getting more complex with age. Dark fruits, smokiness, some cloves. Really nice. — 10 years ago

One of my favorite Santa Cruz Mountains pinot noir producers, and this bottle was a great example of why. Fruity but not overly so, rich but easy drinking. A fun and enjoyable wine that I'm happy to drink anytime. — 11 years ago

I feel that this is probably the best Pinot Noir producer out of the finger lakes although the competition is finally a good one. The nose has a wonderful aroma of currant a plum with undertones of spice including nutmeg and mulling spices. The palate is gorgeously light and elegant but still somewhat juicy at the same time. Flavors of plum, sour cherry and baking spice along with wonderfully balance acidity. The finish is soft and elegant with juicy fruit notes of lingering acidity. Wow... a great pairing for roasted pork. — 8 years ago

Château La Nerthe dates back to 1560, records suggest it might even go back to the 12th century making it one of Châteauneuf’s oldest estates, located in the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC region of France near Avignon. Ruby with aromas of red fruit. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault. The palate shows raspberries, plums, cherries and blackberries and hints of leather, spice and black pepper. Aged in oak, the wine was complex and elegant with smooth tannins, lingering finish. Nice! — 9 years ago

Wow - with grapes sourced from Nutt Road vineyards managed by Peter Martini this has inviting peach and apple aromas and a level of sweetness balance with acidity that provide a full lush feel with a medium finish that has a bit of cream that makes this special — 11 years ago

Just an amazing expression of Terroir, totally naked and brilliantly balanced, including dusty tannins and dito minerality, Syrah spice and a meat stock infused finish. Note to Self - Clos Saron rules! — 12 years ago
