I opened this whole wearing my new Methode Sauvage t-shirt. My 5 year old says "cool shirt mom, did you buy that so you can match your wine?"

No no.

Mineral like kissing a statue, light pineapple, salt rim, jasmine. Savage. — 6 years ago

Loved the description on the website saying “It's the wild and mysterious light-bodied red that makes Pinot Noir taste like a Republican.” So true. Light chillable red. Cherry blood orange acidity hint of pepper and wet stones. No “funk” here just subtle earthy delight. — 6 years ago

Well damn! I have a bunch of Young bottles tucked away but finally got to try one with age. 2006 is in a beautiful place. There is bright plum fruit underneath ash, smoke, olive and meat... we gave the chef a taste, and his immediate response from the first whiff was, “sauvage”... he was French — 7 years ago

Incredible. Jaboulet family apparently inconsistent in final years of ownership, but this one had everything. So dense still, with lots of kalamata olive, olive brine, cherry, blackberry, black pepper, leather, cured meat, earth. Savory, sweet, powerful, elegant, hit every end of the taste spectrum. Super long. In magnum — 8 years ago

Purple red in color, dense. Blueberry blackberry minty smoke and wood notes in nose. Berry cherry smoke notes in mouth (later morphing almost into cola) with some tongue coating astringency in finish. Strawberry and blackberry aftertaste. A little aging might polish the few minor edges remaining in the wine — 9 years ago

This is pretty fantastic! Light, refreshing, lush tart fruits with a bit of yeast, light tannins, but silky! Will definitely drink again! — 6 years ago

A fantastic wine. Crunchy fruit, peppery spice, and some lovely dry, mellow tannins. Giving the best natty guys from Europe a run for it. — 6 years ago

friend had the wine recently and couldn't get over how good it was. He's right. Great acidity that is integrated well, ripe dark cherry fruit, creamy texture. Very sauvage. The fruit is very intense, cherry essence and the nose is powerful and also intense--just like the wine. No mushrooms, but there is a little sous bois. Would have called it 93 or 96, really good middle age red Burgundy. I like it. Rated 1 on the Zanotti binary system, meaning worth drinking. — 8 years ago

Tasted the 12, 14 and 15. This rating is for the 2014. Purchased in 2002 by the Chicago based Sauvage family and under the guidance of Ted Lemon (Littorai) and Claire Mulholland. Biodynamic and making great Pinot. Should be available in the USA with these connections. — 8 years ago

Ripe fruit up front with the savory stuff a bit in reserve. Decanting + time give the full spectrum of olive, spice, bacon, blood. There's so much wine here and such good conversation to be had around it. — 9 years ago

Mixed reviews in the tasting group, but I loved it. Not all Barolo can be tense and nervous all the time. This was hedo Nebbiolo, dark, extracted, tannic and piled with rich fruit and savory notes. Cooked cherry, blood orange, orange peel, tar, smoke, sauvage almost, loads of spice. I thought it was immensely fun — 6 years ago

Gary Walsh gave this 97, so 3 of us went thirds on a single bottle ($100) to take our drinking into new territory. Drank over 3 hours. Continually evolved with ridiculous complexity and length. No more than medium bodied with a spectrum of black, violet, red fruits. Herbal and spice tones, each of us picked up something different. Beautifully fresh fruited, tannin hardly there yet clearly there. I can’t quite do 97 as I’m a little skewed to something a bit bigger, so 96+ for me. — 7 years ago

This one-off Cuvée from the boutique Robert Craig winery which focuses on mountain appellations in Napa is 50% Spring Mountain CS and 50% Howell Mountain Zinfandel (same juice that goes into the Turley Zin) aged 12 months in French Oak, 35% new. Gentle nose of dark fruits, green and sweet bell pepper, coffee, herbs, slight scent of perfume. Silky and savory on the palate with refreshing acidity. Bitter herbal finish. This wine is supple and delicious. And a hell of a deal at $20! — 8 years ago

Pencil lead and mint dominate the nose. Not much fruit t speak of. Medium weighted in the mid with sneaky tannin creeping up on the back. A introspective version of Cab Franc that seems complex, but leaves me wanting more. — 8 years ago
