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

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

Terroir de Courgis Chablis Chardonnay 2013

It has notes of tart fruit and you can really get the mineral taste. This wine was really good with shellfish! — 11 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

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

Hands down the most balanced, pure, and terroir-transparent white I have ever tasted from Chile. Citrusy and flinty with hints of key lime sorbet and crushed mint. — 10 years ago

Domaine Belluard

Terroir du Mont-Blanc Mondeuse 2012

Very impressive amphora aged Mondeuse by Domaine Belluard in Savoie | Only 2% of their planted vineyard is Mondeuse and they make roughly 500 bottles of this... hard to get your hands on it! — 11 years ago

Pretty legit. I was one of the first to try it in the state, and it lives up to the legend. If you want classically accurate Napa Cab, this is in your boathouse for $100ish bucks. Gives a full view of how good the actual Revana drinks, but for a much kinder price. — 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
