A great option as a 2nd brand, still delivers a truly unique and balanced wine based on Merlot, Cab Franc and Cab Sauv., a bit less full-bodied that the usual Figeac. Loved the progression as it opens, nicely complex, very long finish and refined texture and solid mouthfeel. Never disappoints! — 7 days ago

A rustic wine in great sense, earthy, punchy and intense on the nose. Salento region in Pugia is known for this style of wine. Solid body and structure. Pairs amazingly well with Mediterranean food. Long finish and has texture and feel warm. — 19 days ago

One the most sophisticated Malbec tasted in recent times. An absolutely complex and powerful Malbec from the old vines of Catena Family vineyards where elevation surpasses 3,000-3,000ft above sea level. Intense aromas of blackberries, black currants, velvety and persistent. A great mouthfeel, smooth and multilayered on the mid range of the palate. Delicate on the finish, toasty and woody, with cinnamons, but not overly lingering. Beautifully balanced. Can’t enough of it! — 8 days ago

An unconventional white blend from a 4th Growth Chateau on the left bank of Bordeaux.
70% Sauv Blanc, 30% Sémillon, provides a feast of Quincy and lemon peel aromas and flavors. Light and refreshing, young and lively. Dry, and some mineralized mouthfeel. Less than a 1,000 cases produced. Lovely! — 8 days ago

A 4th growth wine from Lethe left bank of Bordeaux that will give you the run for the money. Had the 2007 in 2025 and the wine held very well. Aromatics remained elevated and enticing. Already passed its prime, but the aging aspect was compelling. Abundant on baked raisins, dates and overripe dark cherry on both nose and palate. Unbelievably smooth and silky. Medium Acidity, and medium plus tannins. Great texture and no overly lingering finish. — 19 days ago

Pure expression of intense aromas of black currants, dark berries, leather, tobacco leaves. Inky and powerful on the palate, amazing mouthfeel and very smooth texture. Structured tannins, and very long and pleasant finish. Extremely balanced. 87% Cab Sauv. 9.5% petit Verdot and 3.5% Malbec all sourced from their own vineyards (Ehlers Lane). Simply delicious! — 8 days ago

Warm, sour, plum and a hint of earthy notes. Mostly Nebbiolo grapes with some small percentage of Barbera to soft the tannins and balance the acidity. Some violet and red fruits are in the mid range of the palate. Had the 2015 vintage and was well balanced, still a decent woody finish. Very approachable! — 8 days ago

Very easy to drink, made out of montepulciano grapes from Abruzzo DOC region, very rounded, plum-driven and soft tannins with a short finish. Had some hints of thyme and a bit of lavender. Ideal for a casual drinking moment! — 15 days ago
