Good, but goes down a little harsh and with more sour and crunch than I remember since I first tried a couple years ago. Pours with a brick filter draped over dark crimson. Beefy bloody notes hanging around with magic marker upfront, then averages itself out with fruits and herbs and becomes altogether a vibrant lighter thing. Little hints of iodine and violet - just barely. — 3 years ago

Incredibly good. Bright, lively, tart, and bursting with citrus (orange pith, grapefruit). Some flinty, stoney minerality to finish. — 4 years ago

Where do I start w/this juice: unbelievable complexity & density for the price! Started out absolutely savage w/dank forest floor, freshly turned Earth, mushroom, acrid creosote smoke, loam, camphor - some kind of hi-toned note, minerals and loads of berry fruit. The nose stank in the best possible way. Cerebral and infinitely enjoyable. Mellowed out over the night & smooth, med bodied/tannins w/hint of zingy acidity on tongue. — 6 years ago

New vintage, still a great take on Malbec. Strawberry flavor, lighter style, rounded mouthfeel, spearmint on finish with strawberry and blackberry — 3 years ago

Delicious! Bdx blend w/Chambourcin really adds some personality, very dark opaque ruby w/wild savage nose, forest, herbaceous, medicinal juxtaposed w/dank ripe black/red berry fruit, accented w/vanilla & spice. So Virginia - (could mistake this for Norton) very generous and right in yo face! Smooth rich viscous supple, gobs of fruit w/beautiful harmony & balance on palate. Not for everyone, very extroverted, but for $14 this is insane QPR. — 4 years ago

From magnum. Wild. Savage, sanguine notes of juicy wild berry, rose, mushroom, and barrel funk on the nose. This tugs the palate in many directions at once, at times dark fruited, others herb-tinged, others earthy, smoky as well. This needs time. It's a big boy, too, with big boy tannins and real presence in the mouth. Wine of character. Good stuff. — 4 years ago

Purple, moderate plus pigment extraction. Floral and cherry notes in nose, not sure about black olive as someone else noted, but some herbal and barrel toast notes, yes. Flavors of cherry peel and berry with depth and length. A hint of black pepper in aftertaste after its been open an hour. Restrained acidity and alcohol, soft mouthfeel, tannins largely missing in action but not needed, just inexpressive or well hidden. Not a typical wine producer which is what makes them special; Michael typically puts his own spin on the wines he makes. Paired well with a hearty but light pork and tomato lasagna I made using a Cooks Illustrated recipe from their cookbook — 6 years ago

Lovely color. Lighter and lithesome. Woodsy scent with an incense and cedar vibe with elderberries. Flavors are elegant and classy. Bright. Has an old school medicine tonic vibe. — 3 years ago

My first time trying one of Duncan Savage’s wines, despite owning a few cases of his reds, and ironically a wine that’s brand new in his portfolio. Sauvignon Blanc is a grape I have a hard time loving, so I seldom drink it. But this, from a 32 year old Stellenbosch vineyard recently acquired by Savage, was a fine example of the grape.

Still showing signs of reduction, with plenty of cut grass, unripe gooseberry and tomato vine on the nose, but it possesses a gorgeous palate that seemed much more awake and replete with plenty of ripe apple and juicy key lime flavours. This is good, ageworthy Sauvignon from South Africa, and I’m glad I bought a few bottles. — 4 years ago
