I've only tried one other British-made wine. Quite tasty! Tart apple cider notes make it off-dry. Nice champagne alternative with our first festive December meal of pork loin and polenta with lingonberry sauce 🎄 — 7 years ago

Nice, balanced middle aged Napa cabernet. Firm, but approachable tannins. Good value at $40. No rush to drink, but no reason to wait. Paired well with coffee rubbed venison loin. — 8 years ago

Light & mid red fruits, smoke, grilled meats & dry red roses on the nose. The fruits are; dark cherries, cherries, cooked strawberries, dry cranberries, black cherry cola, reductive pomegranate, grilled meats, smoke, baking spices (vanilla & nutmeg), brown crushed volcanic rocks, dry roses, light oak, nice acidity and an elegant swirl of all of the above on the long beautiful finish. Nice work Toby. For those reading, a Pinot to acquire and a winery to follow going forward. Great pair with pork loin w/ fruit. https://www.google.com/amp/s/johnonwine.com/2015/06/11/spotlight-winery-phillips-hill-winery/amp/

This is the beauty that started my love for Malbec. Full body flavors that blend and meld for a great wine that you can sip on its own, or have with a roasted pork loin. It has a berry mix with some more earthy undertones and a dash of subtle spicy notes. This one has made it to my top 20 list. — 9 years ago

Excellent with a chargrilled strip loin. Zinfandel techniques but still rustic earthy depth under the black cherry and plums. — 10 years ago

Savory orchard fruit and stony minerality, backed up by bright acid makes this a refreshing patio wine, although it truly calls for some white protein like halibut or pork loin. — 10 years ago

Very nice. Will certainly be good for another few years but drinking well now. Freshness, depth, some white pepper, spice. Went very well with venison loin with red wine shallot sauce, turnip purée and Brussels sprouts. — 11 years ago

Belle surprise que ce vin. Très axée sur la cerise et des épices comme le poivre qui amènent même la famille à croire qu’on pourrait être en Cote-Rotie. Je ne l’étais pas mais je comprends les commentaires... c’est assurément plus facile quand on a vu l’étiquette ! Une bouteille très agréable d’un producteur loin de la spéculation — 7 years ago

Brewer Clifton is always a treat. Opened before a Havanese Pork Loin. Fruity but slowly evolved into a refined balance with notes of caramel and slight pepper. — 8 years ago

Delish! Great on its own and even better with our smoked pork loin. — 8 years ago

Hot yellow raisin in hazelnut oil, raw spaghetti squash, warm watermelon rind, linseed oil, pine nettle, juniper nose. Creamy squash on brioche, not a pronounced acidity here, but the fat isn't the typical pit-fruit travesty either, although it has a resonance that suggests apricot oil. It's bodyweight suggests a salinity but it finishes amarula and papaya. Worked with a clean, asian-inspired steel-cut, mushroom and hempfu comfort meal. — 9 years ago

Finally! Barolo at last. Nothing is like Nebiolo from Barolo in the glass, especially one that has had time to mature. The color wants to say, "I'm mature Burgundy!", but the rest of the wine says otherwise.
The nose is unique, with the unmistakable aroma of fresh rose petals, followed by cigar ash, red apple skin, wet pine needles, and tar.
This wine was decanted for 4 hours before consumed, and the tannins were as gripping as if I just opened it and poured it. The juice exhibited notes of sour dark cherries, raspberry tart, black tea, rose water, bay leaf, and a faint smoke tinge, all stretched out evenly through the lingering finish. Twas a true treat, and yet this puppy could have laid down to rest for another 15 years, still singing of its youth.
I paired this with what I made for dinner: Pan seared Bison Loin, with a cognac shallot sauce, and sautéed mushrooms, with steamed kale and garlic cloves.
Perfection.

2011 vintage. Slightly oxidative nose full of honeydew melon and green pear. Slightly creamy on the palate with big, juicy acidity. Crisp green apple and pear flavors leads to hints of bitter herbs and a long, bright, slightly waxy finish. — 10 years ago

Loin du typique Chambolle en finesse. C’est du sérieux ce vin.... fruits noirs, encore austère et un elevage encore présent. Je dirais qu’il faut attendre mais pas certain qu’il sera meilleur... — 7 years ago

Imagine walking through a blueberry patch, munching on the freshly picked, sun-warmed blue beauties. This wine is blueberries for days, on the nose and on the palate with a mildly spicy undercurrent. Well rounded, soft tannins with a finish reminiscent of grape jelly. Paired with a strip loin and grilled veg. Enjoyed. — 7 years ago

A beautiful field blend sweet white. Apples and pears, tart but also sweet canned fruit, maraschino cherries, calvados, a very slight oxidative note reminding me of Vin Santo, and a minerality that leads to a little complexity in the finish that's really delightful. — 10 years ago
