Aromas of cherry, bramble berries, leather, orange zest and dusty earth. Flavors of black cherry/berry/raspberry/plum fruit, blueberries, tobacco and savory spices. Intense earthy quality on the long finish. Mouth watering acidity and very silky tannins. Medium-plus body. A bit of heft and intensity. Solid weeknight option. — 3 days ago

Light yellow color. Aromas of green orchard fruit, white flowers and citrus. Flavors of peaches, nectarines, tropical fruit, green apples, lemon curd, raw almonds and a very pleasing saline note. Beautiful note of minerality on the long finish. Medium-minus body (but still a bit of heft) and refreshing acidity. Lovely silky texture for such a crisp wine. Outstanding QPR. Thanks for sharing, Kase! — 11 days ago

@delectable - This is the Louis Latour Santenay Rouge Pinot Noir. Bright ruby color. Aromas of cherries, bramble berries, light smoke wet soil and a slight vegetal quality. Flavors of black cherries and raspberries, black licorice along with a distinct mineral note throughout. Long finish and very supple tannins. Light body and a slightly watery texture. More than acceptable opening price point Red Burgundy. Thanks for the White Red Latour Burgundy Tasting, Kase. — 5 days ago

Very pale (but bright) garnet/copper color. Aromas of red berries/cherries, menthol and red flowers. Flavors of pomegranate, cranberry, unripe strawberry and cherry fruit. A bit of a smoky herbal quality as well. Distinct hint of black pepper on the medium-minus earthy finish. Extremely light body and thin texture with fine grained tannins. Bright acidity, light and refreshing. Best served well chilled and on a hot day. — 8 days ago
