Dark fruits and plum with a little oak. Slight tang with fruit upfront but softened nicely with air over a day or 2. Really smoothed out with rich flavor and soft tannins. — 2 months ago
Medium bodied with lots of dark berries, cherries, and oaky vanilla. . Sometimes picked up a little more tannin than I like on the finish, but definitely want to spend more time with Portuguese wines. — 3 months ago
Nice expression of French SB. Fairly smooth with slight tropicality like a NZ SB. — 16 days ago
Concerned upfront from the alcohol smell, but the plums, dark berries and slight tobacco mellowed while open. Even better on day 2. Started with low expectations but was quite pleased and would drink again. — a month ago
I liked the uncharacteristic subtle sweetness from plum and dark fruits. Add a touch of leather and vanilla, soft tannins, and this one was smooth. Good stuff! — 5 months ago
Loved the great Costco price but below expectations given the wine enthusiast rating. Need to try other Portuguese vinho tinto wines to get more perspective. — 5 months ago
Gooseberry fused with lemon/lime make this Colombard/SB blend crisp, fruity, and low acidic. When the weather’s this hot, this is a solid go-to. — 16 days ago
Not too familiar with French Malbecs but would come back to this one. Tannins smoothed after several hours/next day yet fairly high acidity with tart cherries, berries and plums. Maybe a little cocoa oak and leather too. Good stuff accompanying food. — 2 months ago
Medium bodied fruity red paired well with pasta/tomato sauce. Time to try more Nero d’avolas. — 5 months ago

Great summer wine - like sauv blanc meets Pinot Grigio. Citrus are most prominent fruits in this dry delight. — 2 days ago
