aromas show barnyard, pickle juice, leather, earth, red and black cherries, wood, redcurrant. a little smoke. smells dangerous....the mouth adds cherry, licorice, wood and earth on the palate. A prickly mineraly Burgundy from Sicily :) — 8 years ago

I love the prickly acidity and round mouthfeel of this wine. I don't get much of a fruit character other than maybe some lime peel but very restrained to me. White pepper notes, really almost like dried alfalfa and grass. Reminiscent of a working cattle farm from youth. — 9 years ago

2013 - BAM! Creamy, Pine(y) stone fruit, batenburg cake but with a deep mineral dent, great. Textured mouth feel, rich but with some prickly tropical and citrus fruit acidity, creamy but clean finish, Ab Fab. GORGEOUS! Rewards plenty of air & def get in ye cellar if you can. — 11 years ago

Beautifully weighted Sauvignon (and I'm usually not a fan). Light on the gooseberry more towards quince & guava on the nose. Mouthwatering rather than prickly acidity with well defined lime fruit and more body than you'd expect, Kevin is a great winemaker! — 11 years ago

I rather enjoyed this! Fresh, juicy wild berry fruit, with prickly raspberry and blackberry tempered by crushed stone, barnyard hay, and lots of nature Loire funkiness. Great acidity. — 9 years ago

I finally found a wine for Indian and SE Asian food!! It's soft and pretty, with just enough prickly fizz to bring the flavors of watermelon, strawberry and papaya to life. More wineries need to produce frizzante rosé. — 9 years ago

The aromatics are on point--floral, herbal and just screaming fleurie. The palate needs a little time, but is chock full of bright raspberry and prickly acid — 9 years ago

From 60-80 year old vines in one large vineyard site. Chamomile, vegetal, crushed limestone rocks, and a light waft of salt and citrus rise from the glass. Completely linear, full of tension and energy. This has prickly and nervy acidity, great stuff. #chenin #collier — 10 years ago

Prickly, brambly, stemmy red cherry and raspberry. Silky on the palate with a lingering rusticity. Impressed. — 10 years ago

Fresh and immediate but with lovely notes of tobacco spice and humidor, abundant fresh cherry and blueberry fruit, a nice prickly and spicy quality on the tongue with a bit of grit on the finish. Nice. — 9 years ago

Small champagne tasting at Edinburgh airport. Blanc de Blanc versus regular NV. The BdB was far better in every respect; finer, more rounded, though a little short. Full of crisp cold-pressed apple juice and fine prickly bubbles. A very food-friendly low-dosage wine that cut through the Cullen Skink perfectly! — 9 years ago

Nicely balanced Champ @ a reasonable price. Apple, prickly pear, lemon curd and fresh mousse. — 9 years ago

Floral and peach on the nose, same plus lemon and stones on the palate, with awesome prickly bubbles and super refreshing acidity. This is perfect for what it is! Everyone who drinks seltzer water should just drink this... — 10 years ago

Freezing my ass off in NYC and back at Cipriani... How many $20 bills have I palmed Fabio over the years, but he parts at least 50 people to give me the best table in the house... This Moses parting this human Red Sea greets me with two kisses and a welcome Mr. Peter... Love this guy... Anyway, Scott & Deb, two of my oldest clients join me... Deb looks exactly the way she looked 20 years ago and Scott looks great... This wine; AIA!!! Velvety, rich, dark, seductive... It's a beautiful woman in a glass... Ornellaia and Sassicaia... Two of my favorites... Still young, but oh so drinkable... — 10 years ago
