One of the best under 5% beers I’ve had. So much awesome flavor of ripe fruit with just a tough of malt. So fing good. — 5 years ago
Unique hoppy aromatic profile on Arianna Occhipinti’s SP68 Bianco. It could be a west coast IPA - initially mosaic hops and grapefruit, then slowly creeping wild flowers, apricots, coriander, and exotic orange spice. Lean with good acid. The native blend (Moscato di Alessandria and Albanello) sees two weeks of skin contact. Flavors are savory floral - spicy citrus, jasmine tea, and chamomile. It’s a terrific beery wine, and though I sometimes don’t like that blurred profile, this one sings. — 6 years ago
Excellent blend of cab sav, Merlot, and cab franc — 7 years ago
Very unique, who knew mosaic hops and naturally carbonated Chardonnay could work so well together, great, inventive winery! — 5 years ago
Another small producer find by Metro Vino in Calgary. This is a truly unique and wonderful summer Rosé from the Bardolono Appellation is light bronze in appearance, offering a rich mosaic of wild strawberries, peach and fruit aromas. Crisp, dry, with tasty minerality and almost crunchy in its full bodied mouth feel I detected a very slight effervescence. DOC 12.5% alc/vol — 6 years ago

Time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Here's a delicious one from Israel.
Inky in color with a short reddish/brick rim.
Fruity nose with blackberries, blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, vanilla, light cedar, spices, cola, tobacco leaf, black tea, alcohol, coffee, milk chocolates, light herbs and black pepper.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with cooked plums, black currants, coffee, cedar, vanilla, spices, earth, milk chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn and light vinaigrette.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a wonderful Merlot blend from Israel. Showing nice complexity and well balanced with a great mouthfeel. Really enjoyed the nose here, even after a few minutes out of the bottle.
This four year old is already yummy right out of the bottle, but better after a couple of hours in a decanter.
I've had this before, and this time I decided to give it a slight chill, and boy it was delicious.
Nice buttery mouthfeel, even looks buttery when poured. Drinking very nicely now.
Very tasty and fruit forward. Dark, extracted and rich. Feels like a Napa Bordeaux blend.
A blend of 42% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 12% Petit verdot and 26% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged for 18 months in French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and Kosher. Mevushal.
15.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.

Delicious! Heady nose full of fruits and spice. Bold taste profile with a full body from grapes ripened in the Texas heat. Notes of dark fruit, cherry, spice along with a delicious long oaky finish accompanied with velvety tannins. Love it! — 7 years ago
