Echoing all the other reviews, this is an excellent QPR. Rich fruit, silky texture, fine balance - this got a 👍🏼 from the wine snobs at one and of the table, as well as the wine plebs at the other end! — 8 years ago

Deep, dark purple- almost black. Rich berry, with some spice and anise; heavy tannins- decanting helped, but would be better in a few years. Hard to dislike, unless you are one of those close- minded wine snobs who reflexively hate South American malbecs.. — 8 years ago

Delectable flavor, great with cheescake. Snobs will hate this wine for its nonpretentious carbonation. — 9 years ago

Such a fantastic wine. Complex enough for snobs and drinkable enough for a newbie. — 10 years ago

Not enough acid to bring around wine snobs who are used to Old World Pinot Gris, but just the right amount to justify the ripe pear notes. Well framed but not well tamed. Still a local favorite! — 10 years ago

Well everybody wants a big 'ol Napa Cab right? Well too bad Running Dogs of Imperialist Lackeys as Mao would say. Chairman Dana says I like a medium body well structured Sonoma Cab that's reasonably priced and when the Cultural Revolution comes I'll kick back with a bottle of Michael Pozzan's Cab and watch it all go down. Lots of leather and blackberry and enough oak to keep the Napa snobs happy but a smooth finish and very nice secondary notes of spice to keep it from being too heavy. Find this and try a test run Capitalists! — 10 years ago

Ok, I am on a cheap blend kick. Wine snobs, feel free to judge me. This one "Primal Roots" was solid. There was a distinct cherry finish to it. For a glass of wine in the evening this was very good. — 10 years ago

Continued fun with Gavi over the weekend. Spoke to some wine snobs over the weekend and they turned their nose up at the fact I'm enjoying Gavi. All the more reason to continue to talk about it. Great blend and great value although it can be hard to find. — 8 years ago

It gets a 9.9 again! Jesus what a fucking wine. Terroir is even more important than most people realize. You can identify old vines in almost any Cistercian vineyard, cut yields, raise them like your children and you can have a great transcendent Pinot Noir. Stop being appellations snobs. — 9 years ago

Wine snobs need not apply! Brilliant example of what's possible with a great syrah maker, although admittedly a bit of a panderer to the fruit hungry palate, it's all there if you care for more than a simple "fruit bomb" — 9 years ago

Wine snobs would call this a fruit bomb. I call it a classic Sonoma Zinfandel with a fruit jam nose and loads of blackberry, raspberry and other dark berry flavors with a bit of complexity if you give it an hour. A Zin that takes me back to the 90's . Delicious and a great value. — 10 years ago

Excellent! This was placed in our AirBnB by our hosts, self proclaimed wine snobs. Being from near Napa Valley, we were skeptical but pleasantly surprised by this wine! Quite tasty and reasonably priced. Good for a snowy night in. — 10 years ago

This is wine to pour for those last remaining Francophile snobs who think they will never enjoy a bottle from --GASP --outside of France or surrounding vineyards. I know, there are thankfully not so many of these people left, but the point is, this tastes like a classic, pre-oakification, totally quaffable " let's have this with some rich, wintery food" sort of beverage. If you don't like this, we will have to find something else to talk about.

Love this red blend! May not be the best, but pour it through a wine aerator, and it’s good! I really like that it’s a little fruity with a surprise spicy afterburn. Wine snobs probably won’t like it, but this spice-loving Texan thinks it’s delicious! — 9 years ago

2012 vintage. Big Cali blend. It is what it is. Ridiculous value. Quite comparable to Prisoner but half the price. If you're entertaining a large group of non wine snobs, serve this and people will not stop complimenting. — 10 years ago

Oh, I love this wine so much, I call it Denzel. Every single time I talk a client into having this at their event or table -- they love it. It is perfect for compromising different palates when only one wine can be had... Merlot lovers, Pinot snobs, Cabernet aficionados ... They all can get along with this blend. It is wonderful to drink on it's own, but it shines wonderfully with food. Duh, I love this stuff. — 11 years ago
