A little too crisp for a 15 degree north Jersey evening. However it paired well with sopressata and goat cheese. Not my favorite fume blanc. Prime opening is 2014-2016 — 12 years ago

Pairs well with French Thai cuisine. The winemaker should have aged it in French oak for at least 4 additional months. — 12 years ago

A very nice Tempranillo. I had it with chicken and sausage. Had notes of wheat grass and passion fruits. Great for a post New Years casual dinner. — 12 years ago
