Did I just drink a glass of wine or did I just have a romantic climax with the hottest person from high school everyone always had a crush on? This wine is sex in a bottle. — 8 years ago

Light, crisp, fruity. Not much of a aftertaste, which I like. Semi-sweet — 9 years ago

Frizzante, deep purple, grapey and earthy. In short, a delight. Chill it, and this is how I want my summer to be. — 10 years ago

Insane nose that I couldn't stop sniffing. Cedar and sour cherry. Smoked wood. Medium body, very French, but undoubtedly Sangiovese. Drying finish perfect for steak. 1 point better than bottle 2 months back. Are the '04 Brunellos maturing quickly? — 11 years ago

A 2012 Chardonnay from the Venezie region of Italy. Would go nice with some grilled Sardines. If I had any. — 12 years ago

Fiori . Il profumo dei campi, i fiori semplici freschi fragranti . In bocca sapido fresco leggermente ricorda il profumo ma potrebbe deludere per la delicatezza che non ti aspetti. Per me il suo pregio. Nuragus — 13 years ago

Dark ruby. Fresh floral, chocolate, plum, blueberry and smoke on the complex, perfumed nose and in the mouth. Big, deep, smoky, chocolaty wine that finishes long and ripe but suave. This will win many fans. Cellar it for another couple of years and then enjoy for another 10 years after that. A blend of 40% Cannonau, 30% Carignano and 30% Bovale Sardo. Cannonau gives perfume but not much color; Bovale Sardo adds color and acidity; and the Carignano contributes a refined mouthfeel and a little bit of freshness to what otherwise might have been jammy wines. S’Arai was a field blend until 1998; since then, each variety has been vinified singly, and I find the wine much more precise and focused as a result. (Ian D'Agata, Vinous, March 2018) — 8 years ago

Great wine, good value! Very easy to drink. Was suggested by Mark from Whole Foods in San Luis Obispo. I will take his advice from now on! Nice finish, medium bodied, this will go great with my Hearst Ranch short ribs!

Funky small release from the Barossa. If I got the story right, he has a 'mother' barrel of SB that he takes 60 bottles a year, and tops up from the latest vintage. Very interesting and tasty. — 12 years ago

Super floral on the nose, with strong notes of lemon peel and river rock. The palate is surprisingly lush/ripe and full bodied for a Vermentino - maybe the 14% ABV talking here. I also get a hint of spearmint and stone fruit in the midpalate. Bracing lively acidity throughout. Long finish for an Italian white. Awesome with goat cheese and a fig/olive tapenade. — 9 years ago

2012 consumed 01/17. Outstanding. Full bodied blend. Great structure. Smooth tannins. Nuanced berry flavors. Best wine I have had from Temecula. Paired with what else? Italian food. — 9 years ago
