You MUST DECANT this Malbec, much as you would any other ‘better’ Malbec from Cahors. If you do decant it, say, for an hour or two prior to drinking, you are rewarded with a wine that is ‘creamy smooth’, well balanced, inky dark joy. If you don’t decant, don’t bother trying it. I spent quite some time in Cahors, and their (and some other local vintners) wines are exceptional… more complex than the Argentines, but without decanting, you will not experience the joy. — 3 years ago

For $6, one doesn’t expect much. To my surprise, this is a VERY nice Pino Grigio. Get some! You won’t be disappointed. 2019 vintage. — 5 years ago

First taste seemed ‘thin’…. But opened up with more tastes. Maybe the martini I had affected the taste. As the dinner went on, I came to really appreciate the delicate taste. Lovely wine. Enjoyed at Chez Foushee :) — 4 years ago

Not for me. Vintners apparently never tasted a decent French Sav. Blanc. If they did, they’ve missed the mark. — 4 years ago
