Great bottle for $13. I was told it is a bigger labeler who does this private and if it had the normal label it would be a $30-40 bottle. I agree! — 10 years ago

2021/5. Just a delicious bottle of mature Nuits. I’m not sure what crus specifically are in this, but still-strong core of fruit, tannin and acidity for the mature, game and forest flavors to orbit around is more than you might expect of a village wine. — 4 years ago

Yes!! 💃🏻🕺. Isn’t it just the highlight of the day when you get that wine that you cannot leave alone? Spicy cigar box and peat extracts dripped in dark dried fruit of aalbes, currant, pie cherry and tart strawberry. And what a perfect match with Tammy’s soy ponzu steak bowl! Lifted it into orbit!! 😋 — 5 years ago

1 hr + decant brings this into orbit, could use more. Dark dark black fruits w strong acidic backbone. Elegant. Bordeaux blend — 8 years ago

Yeah...in a whole other orbit. A Spinal Tap Level 11. So rich, no fat. No flab. This is the full figured girl you know you always wanted to date. High praise indeed. This babe is a diva. — 11 years ago

76% Merlot, 11% Syrah, 8% Blaufrankish, 4% Cab Franc, 1% Teroldego.

My first East Coast red wine. Woot! Fantastic semi-uncomplicated (has some dark twist and turns) fruity and tasty Tuesday night pour. Table wine.

Plum, cherry, rose, hint of soil, vine and leaf (?Franc?) light-medium body, 12% ABV.

Reminds me of some young vine wines from the Escondido-Baja region. Happy to start seeing East Coast wines making their way to the West Coast. This is also my first encounter with Teroldego, which seems to be avoiding my orbit.

Good Job! More please! — 4 years ago

Tight tight on the takeoff but opened up in orbit beautifully. I keep going back to ‘14 whites bc they’re so damn special. — 6 years ago
