From magnum. Drinking beautifully. Secondary flavors on full display. The 96 gave some room for imagination but this is a bottle that says you don't have to wait any longer. I think the 96 is a better wine but this is my wotn for drinking right now. — 10 years ago

One of the best Chateauneuf du Papes I have ever tasted. Bursting with flavor, rich and even creamy notes, plum and black cherries, currants, a little cinnamon. Wonderful. Maureen says, "Porty and yummy, earthy, good." — 10 years ago

Who says 2011 didn't produce any good wines??? Pitch black in the glass. The nose on this is all man; eucalyptus, mint, fresh leather, cigar tobacco, sage. For such an extracted wine, the palate is extremely light on its feet. Dark berries abound, balanced by nice acidity. There's a nice core of fruit, maraschino cherries. This doesn't have the density to be truly age worthy, but will evolve beautifully over the next 5-10 years. — 10 years ago

Really a very nice Chardonnay. The nose is very rich and buttery, while the wine is slightly acidic and rather floral on the tongue. It is floral and citric at the finish. Overall, very nice at $15. Maureen says "pleasant, citrusy, acidic. Not my favorite, but fine." — 11 years ago

2004. Surprising for a Barbera. Yes, it had acidity, but the acidity had mellowed over the years. Less fruity than a typical Barbera and with more earthiness. Strong with the Funghi pizza at Marta and with the Rabbit Meatballs. Great suggestion by Brian (one of the somms). Also, a good deal: Delectable says the retail price is around $65 for current release and $50 for the 2004. List price at Marta was only $72! — 11 years ago

A little too blah for what I was expecting, but has the smoothness of a granache. My dad says he likes wines with personality and my mom says you don't have to be bold to be pleasing. So those are the differing opinions of 3 people... — 10 years ago

The label says crisp and refreshing and that's no lie. At $7.99 a bottle 9.1 alcohol and a slight frizzant strawberry currant flavor what's not to like? I'm stocking up! — 10 years ago

Superb! Nice and thick body, red cooked fruit, deep, hint of vanilla and light smokiness with light tannins. Feels almost sweet. Length is great. Dad says it's close to a medic from the same vintage, but it feel less "serious" and more "feminin". Will definitely buy it again — 11 years ago

When opened.. typical old style ..so dry it makes you pucker.. great legs, color deep purple, earthy.. so dry.. 5 minutes later it blossoms ..the fruit says hello.. it challenges your tongue to express something new bold. Sweet smooth and wonderful.. now you know why you drink wine!!? — 10 years ago

Who says 2011 was a bad year? Beautiful garnet from the glass. Elegant floral and blue fruit on the nose. Deep blueberry, black berry and currant tastes on the palate. Excellently structured with sweet tannins and beautiful acidity. These grapes come from a great Oakville neighborhood. Great family owned winery! — 10 years ago

2013 Machete is a California Petite Syrah that is heavy on the syrah and has 12 different labels with scantily clad woman holding machete. The label says CA red wine but thats just if the blend flexes so they don't have ro change the label. — 11 years ago

Full but smooth, a nice peppery taste with fruit. It says silky tannins on the bottle and I couldn't agree more! Great with gourmet pizza (caramelized onions, roasted garlic, basil, goat cheese, mushrooms, etc.) — 11 years ago

This is a beautiful bottle of wine. The nose says it is alive and well and the palate is glorious with dark cherries and tobacco. Good acidity, tannins are softening and the finish is long and luscious . Just a fabulous pairing with beef stew in red wine. — 11 years ago

Really nice Pinot. Earthy and rich in the nose, fruity and floral on the tongue. A little barnyard but not too much. Well rounded and very drinkable. Enjoyable with cheese and crackers. Definitely would drink again. Maureen says "too bad it's gone." — 12 years ago
