My first wine I’ve ever tasted from Moldova. Jancis Robinson reviewed it in Financial Times January 27 2023. Tasting and decanting now… purple, very good clarity. Aromas of leather (wood) and strawberry, flavors of strawberry and cherry with wood, light to moderate seed and skin tannins on finish. Light bodied but solid tannin structure. Needs at least 60 minutes to decant. 24 hours later, tasting really well, some real character. A worthy red table wine — 3 years ago

Delicious! This is by far the best Romanian wine we’ve tried so far. Let it open up and see how the flavors and aromas change. Great wine! — 5 years ago

We'll made, but very different than what I am used to tasting. A bit tart, but good fruit and a long finish. Blackcurrant is dominant. A great value at $9. — 9 years ago

2nd time around the bend with this one. Gorgeous perfumed nose. Roses. Berry fruit and mega cherries. Super earthy and mineral. So expansive. Palate is so suave and juicy with incredibly integrated rustic tannins and just so juicy. Amazing purity. Just terrific wine. So juicy. Gimme some pasta Fageoli! — 5 years ago

This is like Jessup’s Manny’s Blend...only from Romania!! I tried this at a social event there and just about fell over. Cab, Pinot, and a local Romanian grape: Feteasca Neagra. Simplay putstamding. Smooth and full-bodied. Flies solo and works when paired w/ a steak as well....or a chocolate desert. — 7 years ago

65% Grenache, 31% Mourvèdre, 4% Syrah. Brick red with some purple in color. White pepper, raspberry and mustard greens in nose. Flavors of cherry fruit leather, strawberry jam and a spearmint note in mouth, moderate seed tannins across front of tongue. Increased complexity, plenty of tannins for further aging. Impressed with development of this wine since initial tasting at their Woodinville tasting room — 8 years ago

New vintage. Ruby red, excellent clarity. Moderate pigment extraction. Red fruit, cherry peel and berry flavors with a graphite, black pepper, black olive and seed bitterness finish. Tangerine peel aftertaste. Dense flavor profile, good acid, not your typical WA state Grenache. — 5 years ago

Boca DOC 2010 Azienda Agricola Terrini. Nebbiolo, Vespolina e Uva rara. Three years in oak barrels. I had it with ravioli al plin with butter and black truffles (white not in season), culatello with grissini, and toma, with mom and dad. Good potential from Alto Piemonte — 9 years ago
