Napa Cab Franc is fun! It has a ton of personality and is approachable and food friendly. I highly recommend giving it a try. — 10 years ago
The 8/24/2014 Napa earthquake did what it could to ruin the label but I can still read 14% alc. on the label.
A beautiful clean (read; no jam) expression of Syrah. Just enough funk on the nose to be both varietal correct and interesting and great balance on the palate.
Count in the (ridiculous low) price and you have one helluva solid QPR.

Mellow and smooth we take it. I feel the need for food with this beverage and fortunately some sauerkraut sandwiches and hand rolls did ok for simple finger foods...but I feel like some more meaty food is needed here to flesh out the better nuances available in this drink, and some rice, of course. Preparedness is key, be forewarned. Greatness abounds and I was not prepared to handle this beautiful woman the way she wanted. — 11 years ago
I liked it best with several hours in the decanter, which surprised me. Will check back in sometime next year. — 13 years ago
It needs to be decanted. Elegant black cherries, baking spices, soft leather, and hint of eucalyptus. Silky tannins. Medium to medium plus finis. — 10 years ago
Perfect with red pastas, sautéed crimini mushrooms, and even meaty pizzas. Because of the affordable price, I will probably stock up. I now understand why it is always sold out on this app. — 11 years ago
Amazing wine would not let it age past 2006 still maintains its body well but past 2006 I think would be too much age. — 11 years ago
Glad this one made it- mature, a little too ripe and died after 45 minutes #earthquakestains — 12 years ago
Though it didn't have the usual buttery oakiness I've come to expect from Mer Soleil Chardonnay, I was thrilled to taste such rich fruitiness. Silver comes bottled in a "cement" bottle to remind us that it was aged in small concrete tanks from France. This allows, like oak, a trace of oxygen to seep in which helps to enhance the flavor. Very bright fresh fruit characters. It was opened at our home in Bensalem during a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with 2 other couples. — 12 years ago

Intense Ruby color with a purple rim. Explosion of red and blue fruit on the nose. Medium body, very smooth and fruity. Slight tannins on the medium+ to long finish. As it opened in the glass, sweet spice flavors and aromas started to emerge. Very good wine and fun to drink. As usual, great work from Morgan and Chris! — 10 years ago
Ridiculously well priced wine at Trader Joe's. Picked it up for risotto. Much sweeter than anticipated, but still quite nice for $7. — 11 years ago
If honeysuckle were made out of slate and you could drink it, this would be a very close approximation. — 11 years ago
I was really surprised to see beer bottle cap on a wine bottle. So it was unique for me as well as it was my first wine from Hawke's bay. Lifted with passionfruit and other tropical fruits and lime, floral and grassy notes as well. Rich texture. Long finish. Lively and very refreshing. — 11 years ago
