9.0

Not the most complete vintage for this wine, but it still hits the right notes. Rustic, red fruited, savory, herbal and underpinned throughout by a deep earthiness. A great value. — 6 years ago

Juicy fruit with moderate plus acidity. When we first opened it was very earthy and rustic automatically,palate was another story. — 7 years ago

9.5

Absolutely lovely. Perfect balance. Luscious and full on the front, but without being overripe. Peppery in the middle. Lingering finish. If only there were a way to get more! — 7 years ago

Ryan Vento

9.7

Absolutely wonderful. Lovely on the nose with tobacco and wet soil; solid notes of fruit and menthol on the palate. Old, rustic and truly beautiful. Let it open up for 3-4 hours and it will sing. — 8 years ago

Best saison I've ever had. Near perfect beer. Bottle conditioned. Dry apricot, lemon peel, fresh hay, saison funk, it goes on and on to a bone dry, and tart finish. — 8 years ago

9.0

Smoky-gamey macerated wild strawberries with mint. On the palate, surprisingly light and fruity, riper berry concentration, medium acidity, and low tannins. DOC regulations require 85% Petit Rouge, the most widely planted grape in the region, but this is 100%. Medium licorice finish. Overall, this is a more rustic Gamay and quite pleasant.

Excellent Malbec — 7 years ago

9.0

A terrific little Bordeaux for the price, striking a good balance between its black fruit, mild earthiness, and faintly rustic nose. The whole package says Bordeaux, but is inviting to New World palates just the same. After 4-5 years in the cellar, this wine is a winner in most vintages and certainly is in '09. — 7 years ago

AEL

9.0

This is excellent. There can't be a better expression of this grape. Sophisticated but keeps a rustic edge. Intense nose with flowers, raspberries, lemon, leather and a slight plastic or metallic quality. Medium to full on the palate, with dried flowers, dust and fruit. Really nicely made. — 8 years ago

Robert Torretti

9.3

An excellent expression of Cornas with a healthy age on it. Last of several bottles I bought in 2012 or 2013. Earthy, mushrooms, and a touch of anise on the nose and mouth. Rustic Syrah from the Northern Rhone by an old master. — 8 years ago

Paul Barnes

9.0

Have always liked this one. Rustic with just enough fruit. More alcohol than I remembered. — 8 years ago

9.5

slight secondary, high tones tight, intense red fruit, awesome extract that finishes uber long with delicate spice notes. Serious tannin verging on rustic followed by the finish. — 8 years ago

Sergio Licea

9.6

Black cherries, barnyard, green peppercorns, prunes, mission figs, cacao. Excellent acid/minimal smooth velvet tannin balance, medium bodied, gorgeous silky texture, long complex earthy/peppery/smoky finish. Beautiful weight, rustic sensibilities laid over delicate body. — 9 years ago

Bob McDonald

9.1

An excellent CC from a very good maker. In the modern clean less rustic sfyle. Easy to like and drink. — 9 years ago

Matt Wickham

9.3

Elegant display of classic jalapeño, olives and rustic farm notes. Yet the fruit is still present with beautiful tinges of plum and raspberry. — 9 years ago

Jose Ramirez

9.0

Espuma del Gaucho. Cabernet Sauvignon 2010. Rich in flavors of cassis and black fruit. Notes of subtle oak carry this wine of pride and passion. — 10 years ago
