Surprisingly good for a wine with a funny name. 100% Sangiovese. The nose has layered berries and keeps your interest. Medium tannins Even though it said it was "for me alone," it was so good that I shared. — 9 years ago

Earthy, salami and underbrush. Not Bretty per se, maybe a touch but more like Syrah-ish smoked meatiness. Bacon. Reminds me of good quality Santa Barbara Syrah, tbh. Conversation piece. — 10 years ago

Its truly great. I don't know why I expected more. Maybe because it costs $415 per bottle and for half that price you can pluck an Insignia. Don't get me wrong. This is one of the greatest wines I've tasted... but where do we draw the line on price? Shafer's hillside select is better in this bracket — 10 years ago

I can't find the exact percentage of varietals in this blend but apparently there is some Cabernet and Merlot. With that being said though this screams Pinot Noir to me. Aromas of red cherry and smoke with those replaying on the palate with an earthy finish. Medium bodied with good length. Whatever the blend is it's good juice. Good value. 15g of sugar per litre. — 11 years ago

Ei ollenkaan hapokas. Sokeria 3g/l, mutta maistuu makeemmalta. Ei uskoisi että kyseessä on brut nature. Tää on niin hyvää että yksinään voi helposti juoda koko pullon. Joku väitti sopivan aperitiiviksi - no jaa..
Tästä vois tulla lempparicava, hintava mutta lemppari. Ja lempijuomathan sitten menee kaikkien ruokien kanssa. Eli pihviviini!😄
Only 3 g sugar per litre, which came to me as surprise as it tastes sweeter than that. I really liked this wine. I could easily drink the whole bottle by myself and then some! This is the best cava I have ever had. I think this is one of my favourites. Costly but favourite! And the favourite wines goes along with everything -- so bring in the beef or duck and I will open bottle of Gramona III Lustros! 😜 — 11 years ago

Drank this wine from one of my favorite little boutique wineries. I normally avoid sauv blanc since the whole cat per acidity thing turns me off. This wine has fantastic tropical fruit with guava and pineapple notes. Really nice wine. — 12 years ago

Had this last night., I absolutely adore this producer it's a Penfold at a quarter of the price. Incredible, incredible Shiraz from Australia. Just globs of dark fruit with an incredible lush mouth feel. I'm a huge fan of this. Highly recommend it to everyone! $166 per bottle when you are a wine club member.
Believe me, you will never regret it — 9 years ago

AJ 90/100 - Mi sono avvicinato a questo rosso con una "indigestione" di bollicine, ma non posso non apprezzarlo! Rosso granata tipico, fitto, naso con frutta in conserva, rosa, note di bosco, note salmastre, forse lievemente animale, può risultare sgraziato a chi non ama questo genere di aromi, in bocca potente ma fine, incredibile acidità e freschezza, finale infinito. Per me comunque un grande vino. — 10 years ago

2010. First time drinking per suggestion of my guy at Total Wine. I thought it was okay at first sip, but it opened up nicely over an hour or so. It didn't blow me away, but it was a nice wine for hanging out at home watching a movie. $24.99. — 11 years ago

Beaver introduced me to this back in 2011 as the most pleasure per dollar I could get outside of France. Still true today. — 11 years ago

Love the label, love the wine! Only 2500 bottle production per year. Great just picked fresh wild berry flavors - reminds me of picking wild blackberries as a kid in the green mountain state. — 12 years ago

Sangiovese - merlot awesomeness. This is why super Tuscans make sense sometimes. Pizza with sausage and green onion plus this juice is a good time — 12 years ago

2013 scored 99. How the Pro-rating can be 8.8 is beyond my comprehension. Incredible wine. By far the best vintage that I have ever tasted from this winery whom I love. It's a phenomenal Opus at 1/4th of the cost.
I just picked up another case at $95 per bottle and they are In short supply. I advise everyone to get it while it's still available! 👍it's absolutely beautiful and elegant. Let me know what you think once you've uncorked one.
enjoy!! — 10 years ago

A good experience with an older Paul Pernot Batard gave me the courage to bring this into Per se for a "casual" meal with my wife Linda and our friend Jonathan Holloway and his wife. I was always always a great buyer of Ramonet's Ruchottes beginning with the '85 vintage onward until around the 2000 vintage when it became clear that the wheels had fallen off the white burgundy bus. But this wine, this was some kind of wine! No premox, just a marvelously suave, honeyed flavor, supporting acidity, and a finish with great minerality presenting itself as a kind of minty freshness. Always a treat to graze through a magical Keller meal in the Per se reception/bar area overlooking Columbus Circle, even more so when accompanying the meal with a wine worthy of supporting this sophisticated cuisine. — 10 years ago

Wow. I guess the secret to California Cab for me is top notch sites with ample bottle age. Aromas of oak and graphite. Super plush on the palate, juicy plum and sweet oak tannins that's not oaky, per se. Yummy licorice on the finish. — 10 years ago

Best Malbec we've yet. Hard to find but not impossible. Tried to order locally and was told it was sold out. So, I tracked down the distributor (Grapevine, in NC) nice people. They told me more was coming. Went back to my two local sellers and told them to back order it. Got 4 bottles within two weeks. This is the 2009. $58 per bottle. — 11 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 — 12 years ago
