Favorite white... — 7 years ago
Reminded S of Susucaru. A little sour for me...but went well with food. Bought this at the wine store near Red Hook pool. Inexpensive! I forget exactly how much I paid but definitely under $15. Would happily put this in rotation. — 7 years ago
Fruity, earthy, and well balanced. Paired great with the shaking beef — 7 years ago
Nice wine for the table. Had it with pesto-slathered pasta with French beans and new potatoes. Ligurian olio too. Keeping with the theme.
Oh, the wine? This is Liguria's Beaujolais, but with a different flavor profile. Light and flavorful. Nose has licorice, tomato skin, dark stones. Crushed plums and lots of cracked rocks. Some tannin actually, which may let this last and improve a year or so. But these are made to enjoy with a meal, at a cool room temp. — 8 years ago

Yummy. Easy drinking. Nice fruit balanced with minerality and acidity. Richer mouthfeel for a rose. — 9 years ago

Perfect bio blend with our ravioli. Lighter than we expected. — 7 years ago
Nice to find such a drinkable wine - versatile enough to have with meatballs and spaghetti, yet it seems light enough to have with fish. Or just because. Deep cherry nose. Will be a staple in our house. And bio! — 8 years ago

Surprisingly light, turbid ruby with garnet rim. Fresh aroma of carbonic, sour cherry, violet, green olive; slight reductive funk. Slight spritz, light body (13%), thin in mid palate with high acidity, moderately high chunky tannin, prob skin and stem, and refreshing bitterness. Very pretty. Day 2 - spritz gone, acidity medium — 6 years ago
Very nice, white floral, on top of juicy pear, and other floral notes. — 7 years ago
Cornas is & always will be one of my absolutely favorite Appellations in whole France. What a stunning showing from Frank Balthazar. The nose shows a beautiful melange of lush dark cherries, smoked meat, violets, crushed stone and a hint of thyme. On the palate this guy is so well balanced with a beautiful integrated acidity. Very round, fine, long finish with a lovely "graphite" touch on the back end. Can play with a lot of different food. Worth every damn penny. — 7 years ago

Big vanilla and strawberries. Then slight arugula on the finish. Floral notes are present throughout. Good stuff. — 8 years ago
I don't think I've had an example of this wine vinified by Virginie until now. In my humble opinion, quality is WAY UP now. Too many pre-2006 examples were mealy, oxidized and awkwardly alcoholic. I'm glad to see one of the world's most enviable vineyard sites skew toward quality rather than simply bio-d dogma (again -- humbly opining). — 8 years ago
Slightly flat but still so so good — 9 years ago
Oro, presencia de carbónico, en nariz potente, manzana asada, compota. En boca entrada potente, buen paso y peso, final largo y rico, acidez muy en el final...😜😜😜 — 9 years ago

Ripe blackberries, earth, mineral. Fairly dark and brooding fruit, but with nice acidity. — 6 years ago
