Very dark colored rose, almost like a Beaujolais in the glass. A deep nose of red raspberry and plum. Juicy and big on the palate with loads of black fruits and a touch of pepper on the back end. The long finish has big acidity with just a touch of pepper and slice. A big bodied rose! — 10 years ago
its sea spray minerality paired well with my cheap, room-temperature congealed pizza-by-the-slice topped with canned spinach and fake parmesan. high acid. needless to say, i am DOWN WITH THE CYCNUS — 10 years ago
Claudine Gaunoux owns an amazing slice of Goutte d'Or. The 08 is sensational. No oak just Inox in the making of this burg! — 11 years ago
Yum. Classic flaky pastry with some light peach nectar things happening alongside a touch of cinnamon. Zingy lemon custard and fresh orange slice on the palate. Pretty easy to enjoy! — 11 years ago

Loving the addition of Picpoul to this vintage! Brighter acidity and citrus notes with a hint of spice. My love affair with this producer continues . . . — 9 years ago
Two words: Elegance and finesse.
Like a tennis player performing the perfect slice instead of going for the smash. Like a heavyweight fighter dancing around, jabbing a thousand times, even though he could go for the KO any time.
For us good wine making comes down to two simple words: elegance and finesse.In this case it means not pumping the wine till it almost bursts just because you can, but to balance it perfectly. The acidity is there. The power is there. The spice is there. The fruit is there.
So, thank you Jürgen Krebs! This wine didn't only go perfect with tonights bbq, this cool grown grape juice also matched the summer evening like a match made in heaven. — 10 years ago
This wine is an absolute crowd pleaser for those who love medium-full bodied Well-balanced, medium tannin, juicy yet complex old world reds. Single vineyard fruit, estate bottled, PAGO quality, from Navarra region. Old leather, juicy blackberry, dried fig, plump ripe plum, lush tannins, medium acidity, a hint of savoury. Offering fantastic value, this is a quality red ideal for pairing with gourmet bison burgers or BBQ filet mignon, a goat cheese and fig slice canapé with prosciutto, or easily on its own. This is a buy by the case wine for the value seeking amateur. 2012 was a great vintage. @jonsteeves rated 90/100 - tasted June 2016 — 10 years ago
Delicious! With a slice of lime over ice! — 11 years ago
Lovin on some puppets. Bright cherry, some vanilla, soft tannin.
Like a slice of sour cherry pie with a little drizzle of vanilla bean honey...fades rather quick on the palate, but like any good slice of pie, you're left wanting "just another sliver". — 11 years ago
Tastes like freshly cut apples prepared with cinnamon and sugar for pie baking, but BEFORE the pie is baked, and you sneak a slice of Apple that is coated in sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. — 12 years ago
Can't beat the soft, delicate purity of Rita's Crown Vineyard. All with such a deeper power of red fruit depth. — 10 years ago
Great in a saketini. 50/50 with vodka and a cucumber slice — 10 years ago
Delightful bubbles with a slice of key like pie — 10 years ago
Yum!! Enjoyed with my slice, pretty light, great acidity and raspberries — 11 years ago
Love the minerality; quite dry, hints of citrus. Not quite enough to slice through the heat of the Pad Kee Mao, but would drink again. — 11 years ago
Hmm. I'd give it a bit more time. Good slice and pepper notes. — 12 years ago
with a slice of orange — 12 years ago

Very refreshing, mostly dry working well as casual pour with a slice of cheese or formal toasts, etc. — 9 years ago
