I did not have the privilege of drinking this sauce but my friend in Italy gave it rave reviews. He said' "Rare bottles of artisan wines of great vintages contain basic elements of the most remote secrets of life." This is why I want to learn more about wine and I give my admiration to all of you & @Delectable Wine that help me learn. Cheers and gratitude. 🙏🏽🙌🏾🍷 — 9 years ago

We tried it next to his big brother "les secrets de pignan". — 10 years ago
Slowly unfurling Syrah with secrets worth hanging around for. Takes a wee while to emerge from the fog of 100% whole bunch, but when it does there's such a range on display; violet florals, black cherries, pepper, beef jus and gravel. The palate is silky and all these notes churn through it.; deep, satisfying and long. — 10 years ago
One of Napa's better kept secrets. Plenty of worse wines out there charging double what this restrained, balanced Bordeaux blend asks. Mike McGrath has a deft hand. It's 14.5 bit you'd never know it. #ageability #elegance #conncreek #alldaylong — 10 years ago

The Anvil Cabernet is 100% Cabernet. 60% from Pepper Bridge and 40% from Minnick Hills. 100% New French Oak. On the nose, ripe, slightly candied, blackberries, dark cherry, plum, touch of spice, black moist earth and dark fresh flowers. The body is M and the tannins are M+. The fruits are deliciously ripe; blackberries, dark cherries, plum, black & raspberries. cigar, leather, crushed rocks, dark chocolate chalky saline minerals, spice, round nice acidity and a beautiful round fruit driven finish. Photos of; the tasting bar, Forgeron fruit sourced Vineyard, Marie Eve with her husband Gilles who is the Wine Director at Long Shadows and the exterior of the tasting room and production. Producer history and notes...Forgeron opened 2001, as the 23rd winery in Walla Walla. Marie-Eve Gilla (Owner/Winemaker) has French roots. She studied viticulture and oenology in Burgundy. The production and tasting room were a stones throw from our hotel. It's located in a turn of the Century blacksmith shop. Blacksmith translates from English to French as Forgeron. I'd never had Marie-Eve's wines until now. I was introduced to the idea by her husband Gilles who is the Wine Director at Long Shadows. However, after enjoying his wines, I was inspired to stop by and check out Marie-Eve's wines. I wasn't disappointed. Most every Walla Walla producer I met considered her wines one of the best kept secrets in Walla Walla. — 8 years ago

One of the little secrets about coming to Ireland is that there's tremendous access to amazing wine - Italian, Spanish, but mostly French.
Had this bottle twice this week in Westport, IE. It's a tremendous bottle of organic wine from the Cotes Du Rhone. — 11 years ago
Friulano/Ribolla Le Due Terra bianco has more old schools flavor than Victoria's got Secrets! — 11 years ago
Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in wine, this Viognier is a total knock out. A dry savoury palate with sumptuous and voluptuous fruit, this is a decadent mix of ripe apricots sunk in swirling oceans of cream, plump peach notes and salacious, sweet vanilla pod characters. River deep, mountain high, the palate goes for ever. — 12 years ago

A dream aroma revealing all the secrets to follow. Buttery with walnuts and a light almost hint of citrus in the finish. A truly amazing Chilean Chardonnay that makes you want to write about it.... — 9 years ago
A very evocative Riesling, delicate yet with great length & flavor that pops with acidity & mountain meadow flowers, if that makes any sense. Makes me want to visit the vineyard, as I know they delight in a range of Riesling from sparkling Sekt to ice wine, and it feels like Tantalus are superb Riesling whisperers with secrets to divulge...the bit of aging shows the long-lived potential of these BC wines, too! — 10 years ago
