When in the mood for a big, juicy red wine, this fits the bill. Almost black in color, and full of dark red fruits, currants, blackberries and ripe plums. Good tannins, but pretty well-balanced. Surprising wine. — 9 years ago

Started harsh and bitter, but as it sat and warmed a bit and also the next day, it proved complex and thought-provoking. Pretty golden yellow color. Big, warm weather fruit on the nose and in the mouth. Lingered. Must try again to make better call. — 9 years ago

Really, Really like this wine. Beautiful yellow/green color. Aroma of citrus especially tangerine. On palate, green apple, lemon and tangerine. Lingers unlike many whites. Yummy classic NZ SB. — 9 years ago

Not sure if it's on the backside or if it's just a gentle wine. Had big red fruit, dark cherry, plum, etc. But still felt light in the mouth. Not a long finish, but seemed well balanced. — 9 years ago

Beautiful to look at. Nice big nose, but a bit flabby in the mouth; not great tannins. Nice but not spectacular — 9 years ago

My favorite white wine in the last year! Brilliant Muscadet, prototypic but still unique. Salted lemon, wet stone and taste of oysters. Yet it feels creamy in the mouth. What a find. — 9 years ago

Nice wine. Definitely a little brother of a Barolo. More tangy cherry and warm raspberry, chalk, Cedar and chocolate. Easy to drink. — 9 years ago

My New favorite Riesling! A beautiful, very dry, German Riesling! Bright and crisp, yet somehow still silky. Take this one to the bank. — 9 years ago

CA chard, but with bright citrus notes. Oak is there but so is the acid. Beautiful balance. I am a big fan. — 9 years ago
