LOVE. Loire might be my favourite French region.
Some green pepper on the nose. Dangerously drinkable. Food friendly. Went well with spiced ground beef and rice, but this red would be a good companion for red or white meat, Indian dishes, or on its own. — 5 years ago
Another excellent vintage of this Washington State Tempranillo! Deep ruby core with a garnet rim. Intense aromas of black raspberry, dried herbs, baking spices and graphite . Black raspberry/cherry fruit on the palate with notes of beef jerky, orange zest, baking spices and dried herbs. Long and earthy finish. Medium-plus body and quite fruit forward and savory. Nicely concentrated with fine grained tannins. This bottle was perfectly aged. — a year ago
Nice but prefer the Syrah. — 4 years ago
Delicious and Creamy!!! Aromas of honey and stone fruits. The palate is teased with flavors of white peach, pear, honey. Pale yellow with nice acidity and a creamy finish. Great with cheese for lunch. — 4 years ago
Full, Bold and plush. Made from Walla Walla grapes. Ripe fruit (plums and black cherry) aromas and flavors. Hints of black pepper, black olives and baking spices. Smooth tannins. Touch of blueberry on the finish. Fruit forward but not over the top. Just a bit hot out of the bottle so decant this one a bit. — 5 years ago
Quite different to a traditional Cabernet, but very nice nonetheless. Quite a woody bouquet, but oak is subdued upon tasting and fruit really shines. A bit of cherry on the finish. — 6 years ago
Wow - power Beauj, unexpected. Dark, Somewhat austere (age) yet also fruity. Maybe that’s the old vines? Not sure what to compare it to - maybe a good CDP — 6 years ago

Nice floral and yellow plum. Good acidity. Finishes with a little not unpleasant bitterness. — 10 months ago
I called Bordeaux blend but new world. It is mostly mouvedre which was surprising. Then Grenache and only 3% Syrah. Liked it a lot, just a bit surprising. — 2 years ago
Light n bright, kind of herbaceous on the finish and really refreshing. Red fruit ripe cherries, nice acid very balanced — 4 years ago
Unfined, unfiltered Beaujolais. 100% Gamay. Not usually my style but I LOVED it. A perfect French bistro wine. 2019. — 5 years ago
This is all wet rocks and blue fruit, just what I love. — 5 years ago

Floral, green apple, toasted biscuits. Cremant’s will almost always be better than any Champagne you’ll pick off the shelf and at a fraction of the price! — 6 months ago
