What a lovely Pinot Noir this is. Cherry flavor and nose, fruity but elegant. The finish is complex, going from sour cherry to a mild astringency. A great find and value under $25. — 5 days ago
Lovely and classic California Chardonnay with the usual oak and vanilla flavors. Not extraordinary but typical of the California oaky style and well-made. An extraordinary value below $25. — 12 days ago
Very nice Champagne with lovely yeast and brioche flavors. December 2022 disgorgement. — 5 days ago
Very strong but not very good. Strong and overwhelming attack followed by an acidic finish. No subtlety here. Not worth its high price. — 8 days ago
Somewhat grassy dry Semillon. Okay but most other Hunter Valley Semillons are better. — 11 days ago
Acceptable Bordeaux but not worth the price. At $48.50 this is no better than a $35 Bordeaux. Nice cherry flavor but no earth and no structure. — 16 days ago
Quite good but just a little bit off in the finish. The finish is too astringent. Not as good as other Lynmar Pinot Noirs but still good. Subdued and Burgundian in style. — 5 days ago
Made just to be strong and not to be good. This wine needs a lot of air: hours. It is so strong that it is unpleasant to drink. The finish is especially astringent with a bite that is hard to swallow, especially when first opened. After hours of air this astringency is significantly reduced but the resulting wine is one-dimensional. — 8 days ago
Excellent and paradigmatic Chardonnay. The nose is so fragrant and complex, filled with flowers and vanilla. The palette is complex with different flavors in the attack, middle, and finish. It starts with tropical fruit flavor (pineapple and lichee) , moves to vanilla and oak, and finishes with a sour flavor. A great wine. And under $40. — 14 days ago
