No shit sold out. We spit 300+ wines. This was not one of them and represents some of the best whites in the new world. Orange honey marmalade but honestly name it and it's in there. I love this wine. — 11 years ago
Like no Chenin Blanc I have ever tasted this is searing in its mineral intensity. Definitely not for the faint of heart. It think Pineau de Loire is an apt name cause I picked up a pine pitch flavor. Would be amazing with anything in a shell. But maybe also as a foil to rich pork or something really creamy. Check it out folks. — 11 years ago
OK c'mon..who doesn't love a good name to start out with? After drinking this very good Cali style Pinot I'd move to Pillow Road for more than just the cool name. Sometimes the California Pinot style is too big for me and overwhelms in a more Cab way than a traditional Burgundian/funky earth tone/vegetable way. This one is between the styles and not too dense (my usual complaint) and has great cherry and light leather without the Big Fruit that tends to get in the way of complexity. So bottom line; big but not to big and enough Euro notes to satisfy the taste for Willamette style. — 11 years ago

Alright guys. Not expensive. No known name. This proves to me what you spend is not whether a wine is good. Delicious. Rich dark berries. Some vanilla. Buy it. Enjoy. The ratings are based on snob appeal. Take a blind taste test. Then we'll talk. Shalom. — 10 years ago
2009. Pessac Leognan style...wow, this does not smell like Gamay! Petrol, smoke, cab-like notes of black current, smoke, graphite. This is awesome!! Over 50 year old vines. Very low yields of 18hl/hectare. Whole cluster but no carbonic maceration. Stainless and neutral barrel aging. Fabien Duperray, a name to watch out for! — 11 years ago
Amazing Value and no longer produced under the Le Thil name. — 11 years ago
Unconventionally beautiful or as the French say pretty-ugly, this was a breath of fresh air to my palate. Neutral oak, no malo, the complexity and breadth of flavor and aroma all coming from the care taken in the winery to coax the maximum impact from the fruit. — 11 years ago
SCEA La Tache is the name of the estate. No sulfur. Deep classic natural Syrah nose. Amazing. Great purity. 100% whole cluster. One month fermentation. Stunning. 1 gram of sulfur at the end. — 12 years ago
Flavorful, acidic, & no oak! — 13 years ago
Love this stuff...fresh burst of acidity with the. Aromatics of pear, peach and honey.... Graham crackers... No I haven't gone crackers . This Godello is growing at 600 to 650 meters on really steep slopes, eastern side. Rocky quartz soils with loads of red clay a spectacular place that takes quite a while to get to by way of a windy steep narrow road. It really makes you appreciate it — 13 years ago
The name says it all. No thought process needed. Easy to drink and no harshness...live. — 10 years ago
The go-to fall red. Restrained fruit, purplish in the glass, tons of acidity, no tannin to speak of. — 11 years ago
Finally got over my aversion toward the name "Whispering Angel" and tried this rosé. It's pretty good! Nice pale salmon color, light and crisp fruity taste--delicate and not overpowering. No sticky mouthfeel like some other rosés. Great for a hot summer day. — 11 years ago
2011. Guessed marlborough pinot. No earthiness detected. Light body. Juicy red fruit but not overwhelming. Nose of mints like a mild Gevrey chambertin. Drink. — 11 years ago

No producer name on the label? I have never seen a wine with no producer on the label — 12 years ago
Very fitting of its name. Voluptuous perfect with duck or steak with mushrooms and truffle jus — 13 years ago

Named after the horse that plows the field, "Titouan" is organic and no sulfur. On the nose, cocoa, spice, Bing cherry with great acid and super juicy and too many fruits to name! Tortona is where we are! Medium body and fills out over time. — 10 years ago
