Very generic Italian red. Some strawberry and tobacco on the nose. Medium body. Dry finish with fine tannins. Perfectly fine for the price point. — 4 hours ago

Such an interesting wine. The nose is hard to pin down. Both fruity but also maybe a little meaty/sanguine. There’s a really sweet background note like jam or preserves. When I first opened it it almost seemed to have the slightest tickle of carbonic maceration, but I don’t know. Very curious all around but I’m enjoying it. — a month ago

Tobacco, leather, graphite, and
cocoa powder on the nose. Powerful and tannic on the palate but with a pleasant black fruit sweetness and eucalyptus. — 2 months ago

It’s fine. Definitely good for summer. Light and refreshing with a touch of carbonation. I mostly get strawberry and a touch of bell pepper. Quite dry with decent high acid and minerality. 9.1% means you can have a few and not feel terrible, too. — 7 days ago

I didn’t have high hopes for this 3-year old rosé but honestly it was fine. Nose is very mineral with chalk or wet stone. There’s a faint note of onion/garlic in the background. High acidity. Drinks more like white than rosé. — a month ago

Lots of strawberry and white pepper which leads me to believe it’s Grenache foreward. Super soft, silky texture. An easy sipper. — 2 months ago

The nose is lemon curd, butterscotch, and fresh cut grass. Bright acidity up front with some buttery richness through the mid-palate and a hint of vanilla on the finish. All around a very well balanced wine. — 4 months ago

I haven’t had a lot of aged Chablis, but this is drinking remarkably well for being 13 years old. Austere; high acid but with some weight to it. Flint and lemon peel but I would wager this saw at least some oak as there is definitely a little butterscotch in the background both in the nose and palate. Drinks like a lighter more restrained Montrachet. — 20 days ago

I get a lot of ripe strawberry. Very
fruit forward and approachable. A little pepper which I guess is coming from the Grenache. — a month ago

Wet stone, flint, grapefruit, gooseberry, fresh cut grass. This is exactly what you hope for from Sancerre. Zippy, fresh, light; pairs well with food but drinks well on its own. — 3 months ago
