Beautiful wine. Silky, slightly smoky and easy to drink. So often you hear fruit forward, it is not. Fruit on the end makes it juicy and happy. 😎🍷🇺🇸 — 6 years ago

Ok. Not a Tuesday night wine. But since everyday is Saturday I opened this heavyweight. 2014 vintage. Brisk tannins and black fruit on entry. Closed in nose at present. Can't wait for it to open in my glass, like a flower. This is for steak ! — 7 years ago

Nice red blend. Goes well with fish, and a nice red to drink a bit chilled in the summer. — 8 years ago

Absolutely terrific wine. Bound to uplift even the most doomy-gloomy mood. As such, it pairs well with political discourse and the prospect of "President Trump." Go ahead, drink those sorrows away. You deserve it.

Beautiful, shimmering golden color. I believe it's actually already deepening with age. (2012 vintage consumed in mid-2016)

On the nose, apricot fruit and unrefined honey dominate but is accompanied with a menagerie of rare and precious aromatics. The result is a feeling of having something truly exotic in your glass. This is a world-class wine for which there could never be any argument over its worthiness. You will be taken by this wine and there's really no way to over-hype it and set the expectation bar too high because this wine will meet it every time.

As we dig in deeper past the obvious top notes, we discover a treasure chest filled with persimmon, sandalwood, white flower, and vanilla bean.

Upon first entry in the mouth you are met with a zippy liveliness but then that melts gently across your palate to really give you a fine, pervasive coating that excites the taste buds in every corner of your mouth. This is a POWERHOUSE of assertive flavor. This wine will stage a veritable coup d'etat upon your complacent palate. There will be an ouster of your resident ennui. No incumbent sense of boredom will be safe from this wave of populist essence. There will be a complete and total transition of power in the halls of your mind's parliament leading to a peaceful but efficacious revolution. With your personal Congress in shambles, this fresh new confederacy shall draft a Constitution that will usher in a new era of utopian cooperation and transcendental civic euphoria!

Sorry, maybe for a little carried away there. For reals though. Drink this wine when you're feeling down and feel the BURN! Well, not really - because the alcohol is really well-integrated. ;) — 9 years ago

Dark dark and inky. A little funk that blows off after a little while. Tart berries, fresh & appealing. The intensity in color is sort of counter intuitive as the wind is light and not heavy. It pops but no there’s not effervescence that you might see in Pineau sometimes. Ps I love the custom corks. — 6 years ago

Aussi bonne que celle vue en juillet. Ça vaut le coup de garder quelques côtes rôties pour avoir cette petite évolution très subtile, beaucoup plus complexe que le 2014 vu récemment — 7 years ago

Super lovely Sauvignon Blanc. Very light yet has incredible texture (25% new French oak, balance is neutral F Oak). Nice stone fruit and melon flavor, sweet, not too tart or acidic, lovely balance!!!! — 9 years ago

Floral fragrance of strawberry and blackberry. Drinks very well with flavors of dark cherry, berries with a jammy feel with a bit of pepper. Nice and smooth and lingers on the palate. $100 — 6 years ago

I'm Unabashedly weak when it comes to Chenin blanc, but this really rises to the top of the heap in terms of complexity, orchard feel, and tingly finish. Bruised yellow apple and apricot with petrol viscosity, lemon meringue, tongue curling on the back, ending with a little heat — 8 years ago
