From last week (purchased at the winery in Mendoza in 2011). Really interesting flavor profile, with soft, integrated tannins. Definitely on the downslope, but still really good (and went great with the Snake River Farms Waygu Flat Iron steak I grilled for dinner!). — 5 years ago

I can’t comment on how this does on its own but it does well in a mean rosé sangria! — 7 years ago

Delicious, all brioche and delight. Perhaps a touch sweet for my taste, but then I like ‘em beyond bone dry. Will be getting more and stashing it away. — 8 years ago

Pear and nutmeg. I don't drink Chardonnay at all, and I liked this. — 9 years ago

Från samma vingård som Veritas. Guiden beskrev den som "Summer in your mouth", men var inte med i provningen. Kan bara hålla med henne, superfräsch! — 9 years ago

Been on the look out for this Pinot ever since I tried it at thanksgiving last year. Beautiful, rich fruit notes with a really nice smokey flavor. Not sure the validity of this story but the person who brought the wine to dinner lives near this vineyard and told us the year this grape was harvested there was a fire in a nearby vineyard that you can still taste in the fruit. Delightful. One of my faves. — 10 years ago

I felt like I had tasted this before, but I knew I hadn't. I finally realized that it matched closely in taste to a Pinot based Gloria Ferrer sparkling wine I had a couple of months ago. Very good wine with or without the bubbles. — 10 years ago

Wild violet, roses and black fruit aromas. Medium to high acidity, that makes this wine very interesting 7 years after the vintage. Wonderful persistance, with a wild strawberry and cassis aftertaste. At a very good moment to drink. I truely believe that the best south american wines should be consumed between 5 and 7 years after the "cosecha". — 6 years ago

Elegant wine Achaval Ferrer use to offer only high priced wine when I visited the winery in Mendoza in 2011. Now they do also more affordable wines in the 29 dollar range, Cab and Malbec. Worth a detour — 9 years ago

Loads of honey and orange blossom on nose, the honey continues on the tongue but I get more elderflower with it. Lovely chilled down as low as you can get then served with strong cheeses — 9 years ago

The newly-released 2004 Gloria Ferrer Carneros Cuvée is a lively blend of 53% Pinot Noir and 47% Chardonnay. I spent a full day touring the facility and estate vineyards and was impressed by the care and labor that goes in to crafting their sparkling wines. The 2004 displays ripe red fruit and pleasing biscuit notes held aloft in a creamy stream of bubbles. On the palate, it's fresh and vibrant, I'd love to revisit this after its had time to further develop. 12.5% ABV | Sample — 10 years ago

I never knew a bubbly love like this. It’s beautiful (pink color), fresh and fruity. Pinot noir, grapes blended to perfection with a touch of Chardonnay. Dry like I prefer my rosé. Festive! How fitting that I enjoyed it with a new bubbly friend. Shout out to @bubbles_n_bourbon on IG. #badandboozypod #winehoes — 8 years ago

I attended a tasting that featured a Royal Cuvée vertical hosted by winemaker, Steven Urberg last week. It was fascinating to see the evolution of the style of this Sonoma Brut, but also to taste wines from vintages spanning more than 20 years. The 1987 is mature, slightly austere, and sports higher acidity than the rest. It's dark gold, with notes of walnut skins, caramel, dried apples and apricots, sultana, and wet dough. At this stage the mousse is ultra fine and waning, but still lovely. 12% ABV | Sample — 10 years ago
