Thymiopoullos Vineyards (Trilofos, Naoussa) earned the wow award (IMHO) in the Greek trade show at 25 Lusk earlier during 2015 for its Xinomavro, and allowing me to meet the winemaker. I won't leave home without it. Passion fruit with a hint of Cardomom, smooth, round, long yet dynamic across the palate, leaves you speechless like a Rubenesque ménage a cinq. Perfect for a romantic encounter, while remaining a fabulous bargain, challenging to share without intentions. — 9 years ago

Ripe fruit, cola, cedar.......pepper on pallet.....a bit of smoke on finish. very subtle tannins. Textbook Grenache — 11 years ago
With a little air and unwinding, this blend really worked - and that is in large part due to the balanced profile of 2014. Jim dolphin really leveraged the acidity from cool and dry Aug/Sept evenings. Wish I had more ;) Profile is southern France - a touch of Rhône. — 7 years ago
This is the 'tindery' Cab franc / sauv blanc blend. Interesting enough, the sauv shows by the bucket load with a semi-slippery initial texture until the grainy greenish tannin from the Franc kicks in. The herbaceous notes from the sauv only add to how herbaceous Franc can be. It shows a lot of black cherry, sour raspberry and cut green herbs. If you look at it deeply enough it does show some guava and lychee notes from the sauv but they're probably not even worth mentioning. Co-ferment of the two I'm lead to believe, approach with an open mind, it can throw you about a bit. At $38 a bottle, bit of a gamble in my opinion, especially for something as experimental as such — 8 years ago

Absolutely wonderful wine recommended to me by the lovely nelleen at high timber. Lovely dark red colour and cassis nose. Very quaffable straight out of the bottle with the taste echoing the nose. Should improve further as the integration of the Ribena notes completes with the rest of the wine. — 9 years ago

Outstanding! Never would have expected this as the pairing for the deconstructed French onion soup dish in the third course at Le Cinq — 8 years ago
Raspberry and leather notes (leather more in the later taste on the palate). Some honeysuckle on the nose with the berry notes. We cellared it for a year. — 9 years ago
Really enjoyed this blend! For $25.99 at Total Wine I'm really happy. Normally when I hear "red blend" I'm not excited but I loved this! — 9 years ago
