Deep purple color. Red and blue fruits, floral undertones. Big and dense with black and red currants. Fine tannins and medium acid. Had with wedge, filet and au gratin. Very enjoyable, prob needs a few more years to mature. — 5 years ago

Sanlúcar de Barrameda was the port that Christopher Columbus set off from in 1492. Just 1 year earlier, duties on wine exports from Sanlúcar had been abolished to take advantage of English merchants desperate for new supply after the loss of Bordeaux.

It began a centuries-long romance between Sherry and English wine lovers, as immortalized in Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 2, when Falstaff glorifies sturdy Spanish 'sack' over thin Bordeaux 'claret' and Rhine 'hock'.

But the honeymoon, quite literally, was not to last. Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon drove a wedge between England and Catholic Europe, and left English wine lovers in need of a new source once again. But Sherry fanatics wouldn't have to go entirely without. When Sir Francis Drake sailed into Cádiz and burned the Spanish fleet in 1587, he carried away 2,900 butts of Sherry - enough to supply London for years - as his most famous prize.

Classic pinotage. Fruit forward, maybe berries and old pear. lingers in a tart way. I think the negative reviews are by those who haven’t had much pinotage. Underrated grape and The Wedge is pretty solid for the price point. — 7 years ago

Opened another bottle first and was extremely disappointed so went to this. Would have given a 9+ but felt like some dill flavoring over powered some of the fruit. Overall enjoyable and will have again. — 5 years ago

Nose has bright lemon, lemon pith, tangerine peel, wet limestone and cut green apple.

Palate has limestone dusted lemon wedge, just a touch of dry sweetness, lime peel, pineapple core with trailing note of honey.

Solid weeknight Burgundy, 2016, this wine has plenty of time in front of it. Future bottles can be 2021+. — 6 years ago
