A slightly richer, fruitier style of high altitude Malbec (hot vintage?) with ripe plum & dark cherry, elegantly integrated wood aging. This is supple yet elegant, smooth and with good depth. Quite sophisticated and yet so delicious. A true crowd pleaser and with very good reason! — 3 months ago

100% Loire Valley Pinot Noir. Dark (almost opaque) red color. Earthy nose of mushroom and forest floor with hints of black berry/cherry fruit and violets. The palate is full of ripe red and black berry fruit with touches of mushroom, cola, nutmeg and minerals. Long finish with medium body and bright acidity. Pretty bold and funky. — 2 months ago

Loire Valley Gamay. Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas and flavors of juicy cranberry, red plum, red cherry with additional notes of violets, mushrooms, earth and baking spices. Medium-minus body (based on the color you would think otherwise) and medium acidity. Extremely soft tannins and bone dry. You can smell and taste (pleasant) the carbonic Maceration. Quite interesting. Excellent with food. — 7 months ago
