Cuvée Terroir Chinon Cabernet Franc

Like this wine but doesn’t have the power that some of his other wines have pencil lead iron cherry fruit - liked it from an aromatic standpoint more than flavor and finish — 7 years ago

Domaine de Terrebrune

Terroir de Trias Bandol Mourvedre 2016

Bright salmon color. Racy aromas of acacia flowers, cantaloupe and citrus. Beams of peach, blood orange and strawberries are carried by a well balanced acidity. Lighter than I would have expected. It closes taut with a mineraly echo. — 8 years ago

Musso

Terroir? I'm part of It. Veneto Red Blend

Diretto questo vino, subito profumi di fruttini e bacche nere, prugna disidratata, spezia dolce / piccante.. il sorso è sincero di rusticita' composta quasi elegante , minerale di grafite e carbone..morbidezza glicerica e freschezza equilibrano il sorso mentre la trama tannica perfeziona la chiusura.
Filosofia, vini e ospitalità da provare!!!!

Corte Terroir Series Mendoza Malbec Blend 2013

Inky violet with translucent purple rim. Medium nose needs 1/2 hour to open to blackberry, black plum, black cherry, cassis, cinnamon, clove, red fruits, tobacco, and vanilla. Medium acid to the palate is hot and dry with bitter dark chocolate, black fruit and black pepper. Medium soft tannins still with edge for long dry finish of bitter cocoa and pepper. Good structure and balance makes for great red meat buddy but slight bitterness not for all sippers. Very good value at $10.98 USD. — 9 years ago

Arbossar Priorat Carignan 2009

100% carineña from 90 year-old vines on north-facing granite slopes. 24 months in Riesling foudres (I have visited the winery). This is such a pretty wine (Priorat's version of DRC), I wish I could afford to buy it by the the truckload! — 10 years ago

Château Le Puy

Expression Originale Du Terroir Côtes de Francs Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

Ripe red fruit, forest floor and that kind of muddy, chocolatey thing you get with Bordeaux sometimes, a bit of Bret as well. Organic/bio dynamic. Vineyard is circled by vines whose only duty is to protect the inner vines from surrounding vineyards who use pesticides. #asp — 10 years ago

This was decanted prior to me showing up so I can’t give a fresh out of the bottle prospectus but I did get little bit of tea and a faint cherry. Now to the good stuff. On the palate there was to me loganberry and cherry and a bit of graphite. It has a nice velvety texture that finished nicely. — 7 years ago

Santo Winery

Volcanic Terroir Santorini Assyrtiko

Very delicately perfumed, minerally, and steely, which to me is the make up of a feminine wine. We enjoyed this with tzatziki, pantzaria, lavraki, and many more delicious Greek food. — 8 years ago

Terroir de Fyé Chablis Chardonnay

Lead to believe that the 14' is going to be relatively hard to live up to but this is pretty damn enjoyable regardless. The thick, oily texture here could be possibly confused as potential barrel work, especially served warm, but don't let that fool you. Wet stones, chlorine, green apple and white peach aromas. The palate has a gob-tonne of green apple but despite that oily texture there's plenty of acidity here too — 8 years ago

Terra de Cuques Priorat Pedro Ximénez Muscat

A really interesting wine, seems fortified on the nose but not so much when you taste it. A little salt and lots of complexity and length. Also a really nice colour. — 9 years ago

Château Gazin

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

A chateau that's been on the rise I'm told. Terroir is sand and gravel with clay substrata. Very fragrant, something pleasingly green and floral about the flavor profile, plenty of acid, fruit is red and blue with some spice. Great achievement in '04 and drinking great! — 9 years ago

Terroir de Chablis Chardonnay 2014

Classic Chablis profile, with just enough tension and bitterness on back palate. Patrick Puize seems to pull the best of each vintage, even in generic AOC cuvées. — 10 years ago

Among the best bottlings of Muscadet I've had: vivid & crystalline; citrus, warm sand; suave and finesse-driven texture.
