Pearls, vintage Chris Craft, night time ride across the lake, low moon flashes behind the trees, underwear in your pocket this time. The green flash of the aurora borealis comes out of nowhere, a slow serpentine sine-wave pulsing across the Milky Way. — 9 years ago

Yes! Very unusual but super smooth and round. Happily drunk on its own but would make a lovely sweet addition to a meaty meal. — 9 years ago

Fresh nose, like Violets and pine trees. Slightly acidic; med-finish; Good tannic structured but not overpowering; Tart cherry/cranberry. Pretty :-) Paired with seared duck, butternut squash risotto, and garlic string beans on thanksgiving. — 9 years ago

Very light in color. Faint aroma of linden trees in bloom and pear. Bracing acidity and some minerality. Tingles through the finish. Makes a clean getaway. 2013 — 10 years ago

In your face flavor and depth not quite expected of a 2010. Fruity like a California wine, but much more complex than most wines that focus on the fruit-forward. Has a tangy edge to it, but also a loamy warmth that you would probably smell in a humid, misty forest that gets plenty of rain and has lots of moss growing on the trees. Easy to drink on its own, medium-bodied. — 12 years ago

Made from younger trees. I prefer the more expensive version with the elder trees though. This one was about $16-$17, so $8 cheaper from Arlequin. — 13 years ago

Earth, trees, rain, autumn, sunshine on a cold day and sun-dried plums and cherries. I like it quite a lot. — 9 years ago

Visited this little vineyard during my trip to Italy 2015. We got a tour of the property but the best part was we sat with the winemaker in his kitchen sharing a bottle of this wine, eating some Tuscan snacks and listening to his stories. The winemaker is an extremely talented individual. He's an artist that works with clay, paint, metal, and wood. He broke out his home made pipe collection, showed us his paintings and shared books that he created out of all trees in the region. Each holding aspects of the tree and written facts about the tree. The wine is absolutely amazing and brings me back to the Tuscan afternoon I spent there. — 9 years ago

It's a warm November in the city. Generous autumn days are entrenched, holding off the inevitable winter chill. Sipping a light red in the open air, it's a season of transition. As leaves change, trees are undressed, buildings razed, buildings raised and accoutred. We live in metamorphosis, recalling the bounties of summer--bright red fruit, raspberries, cherries--as they transition to the russet red of apples and ruddy cheeks and noses. — 9 years ago

Hello friends and wine lovers. This is another wonderful California Cab from NAPA. Gamble Family Vineyard has done an amazing job with this wine. The cork was perfect. The color is a deep dark purple and the legs are long but not very thick. It's 13.9 %. The bouquet is ripe fig trees loaded with figs.The initial palate is blackberry and earth. The finish is dry with no sour hint at all. WOW. Leaves me thirsty for the next sip, and a sip of water for the dryness. I can drink this all night with no regrets. If it were 14% and darker, I would feel it the next day! Its light but much heavier than a pinot. I love this wine!!!!!!!!!!! — 9 years ago

Plummy, chocolate-y, blackberry-bone broth, mint, cast iron in an oven, pumpernickel aromas. Caraway, graphite, black mushroom, burnt beef tips, rose stem, black, burnt cherry. black currant, pepper. Deep well of shadows that fall from big oak trees across climbing black berries. This is a decidedly rich bridge between disparate styles, and the bridge is made of iron. — 9 years ago

Salina is an amazing little island part of the Aeolian islands, a volcanic archipelago in the Tyrrhenian sea north of Sicily... well, my dear friends #carlo and #andrea #hauner they transmit into their bottles all the aromas the essence the breeze the light the flowers the trees the cappers surrounding this paradise lost on earth. Regarding the unforgettable Passito Riserva paired with handmade house-fresh sicilian cannoli that's like to be in Arcadia Shangri-la Utopia... at one time! http://www.hauner.it/ — 10 years ago

Mid ruby, smooth ripe blackberries, dry, fine tannins. Creamy, spicy warm dark red fruity berries, smooth rounded flavours with a long finish.
A good wine that celebrates and indeed supports the conservation of the rata trees, whose bloom features on the label. — 10 years ago
