Tonight's wine class was all about Malbec. My excitement caused a bit of a mess. Enjoyed this bottle. Seemed "boring" at first but really opened up as the lesson went on. I'm convinced this will go great with our meal tonight. — 6 years ago

When Jean Claude talks about how much he loves cab franc, now I know why! Pretty tough to find in the states, but great value. Clean, pure blue fruits, wet leaves and lots of mouth coating lactic acidity. Got a few bottles left, but not enough.

Hegoxuri Irouléguy Petit Courbu Blend 2012

Some smoky flint and poultry jumping out of the glass, the initial off-gas as this bloomed beautifully. The bottle only lasted about 45 minutes out on our table and in that time it settled nicely into a canvas of concentrated minerals white flowers perfect ripeness the right acidity. Lean and muscular, no fat, no human hands present here. Highly recommended. Iroulewhat?! Who would've known? Thanks kermit. Fried food for the win. — 11 years ago

Domaine Cauhapé

Chant des Vignes Jurançon Sec Gros Manseng Petit Courbu 2015

First thing I notice is the golden color. Very floral, white flowers, can smell the green stem of a flower. Smells very hot, with mineral/shell/slate. Also smells sweet, honey suckle, and butterscotch. Must be oaked at least slightly. Tastes hot, high acidity, citrus notes/grapefruit. Very juicy as well, in guava, pineapple, tropical fruits for sure, and green grapes. Also low mouth feel, aka thin, but it is refreshing. I've never tried either of these grapes and really enjoy it. Pretty complex and tasty! — 8 years ago
