Cant get much better than this. Unless youre getting some tangy sheep's cheese out to go with it... Well worth booking and visiting the bodega in Jerez too. Artesanal small-scale production with a personalised tour. — 8 years ago
Bought at a cool little combination vintage clothing shop/natural wine store in Tallinn. Super hip, I know; sue me. Natural Loire Valley (this is VdF but I'm pretty sure this producer is located in Touraine and I'm guessing the grapes are at least mostly sourced from there as well) rosé bubbles consisting of a blend of Grolleau and Cab Franc. Semi-sparkling/frizzante. Unfiltered, a quite small amount of sediment is visible floating in the bottle. Not sure whether or not this qualifies as a pet-nat since the production method isn't totally clear from bottle info but it fits the character of one regardless of production method. A bit funky but delightfully so and its not over the top at all. Slightly unripe wild raspberry and strawberry, some funky yeastiness that's almost lager-esque (also pours like a beer as well in terms of bubble texture/level of carbonation), a tiny bit of heavy cream, and wet granite and quartz stones, not unlike the stone of the beach of the island we just left (Hitis in the Finnish archipelago) where we spent a few days at my favorite place on earth, my family's shared summer cabin. Overall, somewhat like a sour beer in overall character, in a really cool way. Med. (+) acidity keeps it juicy and fresh. Super yummy. Great pizza wine. — 9 years ago

A touch sweet but oaky and smooth as you like. Very good. Gives the impression of being a cab, but it's not. Wolf in sheep's clothing. — 10 years ago
A soft, floral Cabernet on the nose but hints of spice and tobacco show up on the palate. Elegant is the first word that comes to mind, but its a wolf in sheep's clothing. — 10 years ago

A wolf in sheep's clothes. Might say it's a Montsant but it clearly tastes like a Priorat. — 9 years ago
This wine is perfect when you are looking for a Sauvignon Blanc with more muted pyrazines. The flavor profile skews heavily towards mineral, stony, and dusty notes, rather than vegetal or fruity flavors. Think Muscadet in Sancerre clothing! — 9 years ago

Beautiful Grenache. Rich, savory fruit, subtle (but evident) structure, long finish. A Chateauneuf-du-Pape in sheep's clothing. — 12 years ago
Riesling in Chenin Clothing. Roasted nuts, almonds, some wooly fresh hay, spices, yellow fruits. Very complex. Palate is complex and super zippy. Insanely concentrated and powerful. Very pure and over 2 days still very structured. Very clean. Excellent. — 8 years ago
This was drinking great. Vibrant purple color, even at 10 years of age. Smoky and stony, with both a Syrah like aromas and a structure more like Gamay. It perfectly pins the expected aromas of a "mountain" wine with hints of wild herbs in the finish. Should be spectacular with an aged sheep's milk cheese like Ossau Iraty. — 8 years ago
The nose flexes it's minerality muscles right away, while also bringing white cherry, white peach, unripe strawberries still on the vine, and white pepper. Doesn't quite prepare you for the unruly palate. A spice bomb, layered with white/unripe fruits and M+ finish of acidity. A wolf in sheeps clothing. — 9 years ago
From an obscure, nearly extinct grape variety, Juhfark translated literally means "sheep's tail" so named because tightly clustered bunches have a distinctive curve at the tip. Found only in the Somló region of Hungary, this non-aromatic variety is typically aged in large oak barriques. Meyer lemon zest, cling peaches, chamomile, and white flowers round out the nose. It's a broad-shouldered white with a coursing vein of acidity, along with a mineral upwelling that showcases an ashy, volcanic soil type. Sample — 9 years ago
Fantastic. Like a weissburgunder in chardonnay 's clothing. First day, soft on the nose and very in your face in the mouth. — 10 years ago
A very special little bottle of wine. Honey suckle. Musty. Condensed raisiny viscous. Wavy sheep's wool and acidic. Wonderful and magical in every sip — 10 years ago
Late night. Eating jambon royal and sheep's milk chevre. 2010 gigondas in all its glory. This wine is phenomenal. Earthy and floral. Almost like a great garden. But also has dense delicious fruit. Just can't say enough good things. Sent me to bed with a smile. — 10 years ago
Delicious. Sheep's wool, beeswax, honey...a little more than "Demi" sec in my humble opinion. Perfect with the spicy rock shrimp pasta I made tonight. — 11 years ago

Past reviews are spot on. This is a 1er cru mersault in AD clothing. Nose that is simultaneously brown butter and hazelnuts while at the same time having intense liquid rock minerality. Fruit very much in the back on the nose. On the palate more fruit - lemon with lemon pith - but dominated by mersault-like nuttiness. Great texture. Ends with a drying, pithy note that portends a more Impressive wine to come — 8 years ago
