Bodegas Faustino

Faustino V Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2017

A truly crowd pleaser, had the 2017 vintage and was perfectly at its prime time. 100% Tempranillo grapes, loved the clove and spices combo on the nose and palate. Some hints of cinnamon and vanilla. Can be rich for some with persistent nice acidity. Persistent long and savory finish. A daily sipper ! — a month ago

Creamy yet bright - really enjoyable on its own — 6 months ago

Birichino

Besson Vineyard Vieilles Centenaires Grenache 2021

This is a very pretty wine. Light color, but so fragrant, with sappy cherry/kirsch and a little raspberry, plus a highly-saline crushed stone minerality and a musky floral note. Flavorful but light-footed in the mouth. Crisp acids and little chalky tannin keep things together. Great with take-out Chinese food tonight! — 8 months ago

Laurenz V.

Singing Grüner Veltliner 2020

Bright gold color. Lovely aromas of white flowers, green apple and orange zest. Flavors of unripe peach, lemon, apple, asparagus and a distinct note of white pepper on the long and lingering finish. Bone dry with mouth watering acidity. Just a bit of CO2 right out of the bottle. Clean and crisp. So refreshing. Aging nicely. A taste of Spring! Thanks for sharing, Kase! — 7 months ago

Les Grands Prétans Givry 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2022

Actually pretty good. Mostly cherry driven right now. Well balanced and good tannic structure. If you like burghs and you do not want to pay too much this is a good one. At La Costa Wine Co. right now by the glass. — 6 months ago

Besson Vineyard Grenache 2021

Beautiful Grenache, light body, semi-sweet fruity flavors, smooth and very easy to drink. Just fine on its own or paired with roasted meats. — a year ago
