An absolutely brilliant, soft and light touch Pinot Noir. Paired exceptionally well with a swordfish meal at one of New York’s swankiest spots. Buy more than a single bottle at a time! — 7 months ago

Why I love big French Bordeaux comes to glasses like this - a perfect blend that balances a perfect note on the nose, and a smooth earthly finish on the palette that follows a perfect mature red fruit journey. Viva la France! — 3 years ago

Not normally a red blend fan - but this is a exceptional as it’s smooth, satisfying and rich. Finishes well: Well balanced and completely structured as a great glass all around from initial nose to last finish on the palette! — 2 years ago

Big bad French Bordeaux. Dress up and bring out the fine bone China and crystal glasses. Big, bold and serious. I wouldn’t have it any other way. On the nose - takes you right into France, faster then the Concorde. On the tongue - earthy, bold and tobacco like finish. Pair with a hearty meal or stout cheese/Charcuterie board and start seeing visions of France as you sip your way over the Atlantic....Delicious! — 8 years ago

A wine so good I understand why some people name there kids Margaux. Smooth, silky and just an incredibly smooth journey to France sip by lovely sip. Amazingly full of flavor yet light on the palette. Mature red fruit meets silky smooth finish. This is what bliss tastes like! — 3 years ago

My first Albariño - quite pleasant with a structured citrus balance to it. Light, crisp and an easy stand alone supper or paired with a nice meal! — 9 years ago
