Decanted for 1 hour and it tight and complex. Mellowed out after we paired with our meal. — a year ago
Pretty deep , almost opaque , thin rim . Quite wild , dried herbs , touch of rounded red fruits . More fruit on the palate , quite ripe red fruits , quite soft but fine , nice balanced acidity . Slightly warm. Quite good length though quite dry finish . Nice now , wouldn’t want to leave this too much longer however . — 4 years ago
I am loving the colors..beautiful ruby red fades into some bricking leading to a clear rim.
Excited to find a 10 year Pinot at my local grocery wine dept! 🤙 Cork was bit of a challenge, surprisingly no sediment.
Nothing to jump up & down about but I am enjoying where this wine is ...in it's evolution. Favors a chill, presents w/ baking spices (cardamom) vanilla and raspberry preserve. — 4 years ago
A 6 region blend, deep Ruby with aromas of dark red fruits, spice and dried herbal and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blueberry and blackberry with licorice and pepper oak. Fine grainy tannins, lively acidity, medium(+) finish ending with fruit, subtle oak and savory spice. Nice! — 5 years ago
Very good Malbec, these guys make great wines. Deep violet in the glass with a nose of dark fruit, spice, vanilla, woodsmoke and liquorice. The palate is full of bitter chocolate covered cherries, blackberries and earl grey tea with some winter spice. Long finish, with some sweetness and a good balance of tannins and acidity. This is a big wine but it’s smooth and one of the best Malbec’s I’ve tasted. — 6 years ago

Dry, crisp & refreshing. Tasted so wonderful with our steak dinner — 2 years ago
This is a very tasty sparkling wine from California.
Yellow in color with a golden tint.
On the nose lemons, green and yellow apples, spices, light herbs, minerals, earth, yeast, light grapefruits and white pepper.
Medium plus in body and lightly creamy, with high acidity and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, grapefruits, green and red apples, yeast, spices, sea salt, minerals and light earth.
Medium on the finish with tangy lemons and sea salt.
This is a really nice surprise. Tangy and enjoyable by itself. Easy drinking and nicely balanced. Feels more like a Crémant from Burgundy.
Showing nice complexity on the nose and the palate, which surprised me. A great value for this price point.
I had it by all by itself on the beach. Can't beat that.

Moderate fruit, medium acidity and slate notes. Somewhat deep with a medium finish. Better to go directly for the vinyes velles. — 5 years ago
We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.
Nose has split oak firewood (barely seasoned), cigar box, moist cedar shavings, blackberry, dried black currant, dried roses, fresh violets, moist leather, dried lavender dark chocolate powder and graphite pencil shavings.
Palate has chocolate covered blackberry, tarry black cherry, cedar sawdust, dark chocolate bark, prune, anise candy, clay pot and leather. Very long finish, subtle tannins exist still, amazing wine!
Cork pulled, 2h rest, then decanted 6h, a perfect bottle, still young, future bottles may be 2023-30, without concern.

Perfect pair to homemade burgers from a local farmer in Columbia Co. NY (Kinderhook Farm), cooked to a beautiful medium-rare served on toasted brioche burger rolls. — 6 years ago
Let it breathe, and you’re rewarded with a berry forward wine, i find it more medium bodied vs full. Nice sipper, may want something bigger with beef — 5 months ago
Has no business being this good. Tastes like a high end champagne. Fresh, great texture and acidity. Awesome. — 7 months ago

From vines planted in 1921. Deep ruby colored, the nose reveals pronouned aromas of fresh blueberries, blackberries, black plums, ink, graphite, mint as well as vanilla, cedar wood and dark chocolate. The full bodied palate is packed with ripe and smooth tannins, high fruit concentration and refreshing acidity. Quite bold and muscular, leaving a long aftertaste. Drink now until 2036. — 4 years ago
Sabred this lovely bottle! Love the Blanc de Blanca from #GloriaFerrer . Crisp and refreshing but still textured with tight bubbles. Citrus is balanced with brioche notes.

This Malbec dominant Bordeaux blend from Mendoza, Argentina offers a full body with notes of black pepper, plum, and blackberry. It has smooth, developed tannins with a medium finish. This wine paired beautifully with steak. — 3 months ago
