Rich, funkdafied in a good way, and a perfect wine for a cool night in the NC mountains. Love the cheesy, brie-like finish. Find some! — 12 years ago
AZ Stronghold vineyards, found here in NC, so I was pretty excited. This has a nice dry mouthfeel, lots of blackberry and light plum. Very earthy and full-bodied. — 12 years ago
Big kudos here, to the vintners, for providing just a little spice on the nose introducing flavors that present smoothly right after pulling the cork and results in big ole mouthful of jammy red fruit covering the entire palate with proper tannins and an easy finish resonating trails of what started as it drifts down one's throat. I found this, very affordable, yet right-on red wine at Promise Land Market (top-notch craft beer and wine bar that has become my fall hang while back home in Morehead City, NC; checkout the superb yet casual charcuterie). All a delight! (especially the people; come and see...) — 13 years ago

Big bacon nose with floral honey front mouth affect quickly going mineral for a clean but lingering finish of flowers & white grapes. Enjoying this fine yet affordable wine with manchego and niçoise-coquillo olives, at PromiseLand Market, in Morehead City, NC... — 12 years ago
Very complete, lingering and getting better post decanting, opening, etc. it's working with my crazy good/interesting cheese&charcuterie served up by Chef Gus at Lee&Lauren's SoundSide Restaurant, in Morehead City, NC. Salute! — 12 years ago
Deliciously silky St. Emilion Grand Cru @ Aubriana's, in Wilmington, NC, complimenting very tender lamb chops served by Katie - right on! Salute... — 13 years ago

A very good find and quite a surprise! Banner Elk is in the western NC mountains. Imported vines. Grapes grown in Banner Elk! Hence the surprise. It really was great! — 13 years ago
Delicious first blush affect with a big spicy, wet earth and moss nose (forest-like) showing a full round mouth of fruit that drifts elegantly towards the back of one's mouth finishing long and silky smooth. Enjoyed with SounSide's (Lauren's place in Morehead City, NC where Chef Chris works his magic!) fresh gastro pamperings🍷😎. Try the wine and the restaurant! — 11 years ago
Love this wine! Black, rich, silky, fruity. — 12 years ago
Spice, moss and earth hover over and around blue berries and cherries..! Groovy splash against some wild boar and manchego bites Saturday mid-afternoon Promise' Land Market, in Morehead City, NC as coastal Spring showers lube the land and Phillip's well-chosen tunage gens the vibe and Janine's sweet smile welcomes the world... Check it out! So. Oool, too right..! Salute... — 12 years ago
