A lot of fruit in both the nose and the taste (strawberry, raspberry, and some tart cherry). Prefect Provençal zing on the finish. — 9 months ago

2010: great wine from great vintage: still so much tension. Tart cherry, leather, menthol, tar, roses…. Lengthy finish with beautifully integrated tannins. Feels young with an old soul! DAMN! — 2 years ago

Enjoyed this by a campfire in new aluminium wine glasses. Dry, slight hint of sweetness. Crisp and fresh with a tart finish in a good way. Nice drinkable wine. — 3 years ago

Slightly mineraly & tart with a semi-dry green apple fruity finish. I probably am describing this completely wrong as I am no connoisseur so don’t listen to me, this is really only for my own personal reference. My new fav, it’s 🔥 — 4 years ago

Lime and minerals on the nose. Tart strawberries and slightly effervescent on the palate. Can't really do better on an 80 degree evening, sitting on the lawn of the Wisconsin State Capitol ❤️ — 5 years ago

Elegant and soft. Fruity front fades into light tart and black tea. Medium light body. Not as fragrant or long as the 2014 I tried earlier this week but love it almost as much. Will have second half w steak this evening but already a favorite/new regular w a med/low $20s price — 5 years ago

Grapefruit forward, pear backward. Tart to start, but gains ground on the finish with supple notes of the aforementioned citrus. Overall delicious. — 6 years ago

This will please some garnacha fans, though I can’t say it’s my ideal Reserva blend. 78% Tempranillo and 22% garnancha, which seems like way too much. Has a sweaty sock aroma that blends with some cherry and vanilla flavors. Almost like a tart cherry pie. The cherry flavors continue throughout with some chocolate and a bit of caramel. Round and silky, and seems loosely structured. Just slightly less dimensional than I would want. — 2 years ago

Very good, but overhyped I feel. The nose has bold white stone fruit, and the palate has a bold acidity with flavors of tart cherries, apricot, starfruit, and a creamy finish, almost like a flan or cremation brûlée but not sweet. Very good, but not for the price. Could evolve well with time, but at a young 2018, it’s not there yet. — 3 years ago

Alluring is the best word that I can come up with to describe this one. Youthful, fresh, complex and approachable. Red fruit — both sour and tart. The tannins and acidity are well in balance. So glad I have a few more because I see this improving over the next several years. — 4 years ago

Monthly WTF wine group night. Our theme was American oak vs French oak. All wines tasted blind. We started off with two bottles of bubbly and finished with two non-themed reds.

My contribution for the evening. I’m posting my previous review of this wine below as it’s been consistent the few times I’ve had it over the last 12-18 months. Love these wines!

Youthful. Icredibly perfumed with typical sweet dill and coconut American oak on the nose. Gosh, I could smell this stuff all day. Aside from needing time away, it needs roughly an hour of decanting to hit stride. Tobacco, cherry tart, and great herbal nuances on the finish. — 5 years ago

New world Chablis emulation but with a little more ripe fruit character and butter notes. Butter mochi, ripe green apple, cooked apples. Really tart finish with duality if fruit character. 0 new oak usage in this wine, fermented in used oak barrels and battonage for a year. Not your typical Napa chardonnay by any means but elegant and pretty. Perfumed and pretty. — 6 years ago

First time with this wine, and I loved it. Underripe lime, white peach, and melon with striking minerality and a saline finish. Feather light body, slight effervescence, and tart acidity just pushes it over the edge. Ultimate hot summer day wine. If only they sold it in gallon size jugs. — 2 years ago

Perfect for a 90 degree day on vacation in the outer banks. So refreshing! Sun dried strawberries, slightly tart lime zest, and watermelon. Mouth watering sea water salinity and bright acidity makes this amazing! This is probably the best rose I have had this year! — 6 years ago

2016 Cos Frappato and Sun Ra. Visionaries together. Wine is tart, fresh blackberry with moderate structure. Love the weight on this one. Packs a ton of deep fruit without any heaviness on a hot evening. The record is a great place to get to know the relaxed side of Sun Ra. Great things which go great together. — 6 years ago
