This wine is deep and dark. The inky indigo color telegraphs the nose, exploding with blue and black berries and cassis, a whiff of campfire smoke and a mountain of prehistoric terroir. The palate is laden with dark fruit, too, not to mention spice and earth. The sage and rosemary linger into a finish that won't let you forget them. The tannic structure is fit for meat and aging while the acidity refreshes and causes the mouth to water. Beautiful work, Mike Sinor. — 10 years ago

Great wine. Grapes are grown in a pure region with clean water from melted snow on the tops of Mount Blanc. Very little pollution in the region makes the outcome very good. — 10 years ago

Yummy burgundy at a good price — 10 years ago
Joyful, forward, and embracing. Notes of apple, pear, green grapes, with the warm finish of honey and lingering lemon. In the winter months, this is perfect at the tail end of a Slavic-themed meal. Salted fish, preserved tomatoes, potatoes, pickled cabbage, beet salad, and a luscious chocolate cake to finish. Versatile, and perfect for year round enjoyment. — 11 years ago
