It's a dark wine, dark in color, dark in aromas and dark in flavors. The nose offers abundant blackberry and black raspberry notes with an earthy base. There is an element of smoke at the top of the glass. The palate is deep and rich, dark fruit joined with a sense of black olives and tea. It leans toward savory, but not without taking the fruit with it. The wine finishes with a little raspberry tartness and a lot of berries that stay for a medium length. It's not too much of a bruiser as far as Pinot goes, rather elegant. Let your kitchen staff know you’d like a grilled pork chop for dinner. — 8 years ago
This is a very special rose'. Slight strawberry and light fruity nose. Excellent chilled on a hot day as pre-dinner wine. Have bought 3 cases so far, and our supplier is out :-/ — 9 years ago
Delicious Rhoneish! Fantastic GSM blend that is so perfectly drinkable now. Classic California with a southern rhone Chateaunuef du pape backbone. This is a wine I could drink everyday! Went great with all the food we tried tonight... Perfect for a cheese course at the end of the meal. — 10 years ago

We opened this bottle not knowing the price as it was a gift and loved it. We looked it up to get more and were absolutely floored to learn how inexpensive it is. We just got back from a very expensive trip to Napa and couldn't believe our eyes at the price of this wine. Completely recommended & the price is an added bonus. Very flavorful with an extremely pleasant finish. — 8 years ago

Interesting wine- Pomelo and a slight tropical fruit. Round, medium palate of unripe green apple and minerals. Paired nicely with smoked paprika spiced ratatouille and polenta. Would not have guessed a Sauv Blanc when first opened. — 10 years ago

A youthful, vibrant, nose of citrus flowers, green melon, and crisp vegetation. High acid, but quite the creamy body. Cantaloupe, honeydew, and lemons excite the palate. 308 case production, which is halved from last vintage. A wine well worth exploring. — 8 years ago
Very nice. Will be looking for it again. — 8 years ago

A pretty amazing northern Victorian cool climate Shiraz that does not have the normal price tag. Giaconda creates an interesting well priced wine with great fruit, balance and structure. — 12 years ago
