The Vinho Verde wine has an herbal and citrus nose and a pleasing yellow-gold tint. The citrus plays a leading role on the palate, but is nearly upstaged by a delightful savory aspect. It’s a nuts-and-fennel feel that wows during the sip and long after.

Bravos cinsault 2016
Light ruby color. Aromas of bing cherries, pink peppercorns, and bubblegum,
On the palate, light body, fruity with that same bubblegum characteristic. Bright acidity and med light tannin. Juicy and vibrant. Fun wine. 9.0 — 7 years ago

Tasty and affordable in the new Mencía style. Dark berry and vanilla on the nose, blackberry jam through and through on the palate. Finishes like satin. Great value to pair with red meat off the grill or hearty game. — 12 years ago

Four day weekend. Gotta get it off to a good start. Been awhile since we had our 375ml of Ruinart.

The nose shows, ripe, slightly candied; black cherries, strawberries, kirsch cherries, rich, summertime watermelon, touch of orange citrus family blend, pomegranate juice, hints of fruit roll up & haunting apricots. Sea fossils & spray, a little bread dough, grey volcanics, chalky powder, orange, spring flowers with fresh & withering, red & pink rose pedals.

The palate is full & touch gummy/candied. Fruits are well extracted, deep, ruby; black cherries, blackberries, strawberries, kirsch cherries, rich, summertime watermelon, touch of orange citrus family blend, pomegranate juice, hints of fruit roll up & haunting apricots. Ghostly, not quite fruit brandy or fruit liqueur character, sea fossils & spray, a little bread dough, not quite medium, white spice with hints of palate heat, grainy, grey volcanics, chalky powder, orange, spring flowers with fresh & withering, red & pink rose pedals. The acidity lively and crisp. The round, well balanced & polish finish is always consistently satisfying and lingers for minutes.

Photos of; the House of Ruinart, Dom Thierry Ruinart, nicely light caves and rolling, hillside, Grand Cru Vineyard.

Not quite sure where “D” gets $83 when you can buy this all day at just under $65. — 5 years ago

Maybe an underperforming bottle? Still dense but lacking a certain something. Tiny bubbles! Brioche nose and typical Dom. Transitions effortlessly to a full mid and crisp finish. — 7 years ago
