Lovely Sagrantino. Gets much better after one-hour decant. So much flavor. Powerful and strong, with pepper and bright red fruit. Tannins are all smooth already. — a day ago

A little too strong now but still a nice cherry-flavored wine. Better in 5 years and likely too early to drink now. Still a nice value at $45 and a good accompaniment to my Czech beef stew. Needs beef. — 12 days ago

Does not taste like French Bordeaux but what a wine. A great mix of Bordeaux grapes that balances out the Cabernet Sauvignon’s boldness to make a well-balanced wine. A steak wine.

Disappointing. Astringent and acidic. Not a good Bordeaux. — 5 days ago

Not good. Just strong with alcohol and weak with flavor. — 11 days ago

A great value under $35. A high quality Cabernet Sauvignon that will be drinkable someday, but not yet. Perhaps 2030. It does not need many more years of aging. Now it’s just boldly overpowering and will make your teeth grit. But the potential is definitely there. — 12 days ago

I can tell this Cabernet Sauvignon is well-made. In 10 years it will likely be very enjoyable. Right now it is so strong it will overwhelm anything you pair it with. I had it with lamb chops. It is too bold now. Even 2 hours could not calm it down. — 18 days ago

Good Barolo but nothing special. Reasonably priced and a good value at $35. Tastes like Barolo should taste. — 5 days ago

M.O.’s Edcora Vineyard is much better than its Sage Ridge Vineyard. Powerful and strong but not over-extracted. Better in five years but still drinkable now. Complex flavor palette with pepper, leather, earth mixed with a dark and brooding side. Peppery nose. Worth its $85 price. — 12 days ago

Solid Barolo. Good earthy wine. Not a wow wine but well-made and delicious. — 16 days ago
