This Cabernet begins with a glistening dark amethyst color followed by a bouquet of sweet cigar, clove, ripe blackberry, and a pinch of Madagascar vanilla. On the palette, blackberry, jammed plum, French oak and tobacco…a full bodied wine with an exceptional finish that continues to linger until the next sip! — a month ago

Dark transparent amethyst. Abundant nose of black cherry and wet stone. Medium palate confirms the nose adding a bit more black fruit supported by sturdy, medium acidity. Soft tannins assert toward back palate and on the lengthy finish. A solid intro to German PN with equally solid Rhein earmarks, this food-friendly red is a perfect companion to most fare and a great counterpart for Germany's universal white: Riesling. Drink now through 2026. — 2 years ago

Dark amethyst. Inviting, voluptuous nose of blackberry and violets. Echoed on the medium full, fruit-forward palate adding juicy black cherry and a hint of earthenware. Medium tannins and medium plus acidity. Excellent Dundee Hills PN that's a great foil for almost any fare, but with enough fruit for on its own drinking. A bridge between California and Burgundy. Drink now through 2026 or even a bit beyond. — 2 years ago

This 2020 Malbec was perfectly colored with a dark amethyst hue, adequate air bubbles and a ton of legs! Super bold, medium tannins and a supple finish…a delicious treat on the front porch as the day was coming to an end!! 🍷 — 7 months ago

Dark, glass-clinging amethyst purple with opaque black core. Initially shy but inviting nose of blackberry, echoed on the medium full plate which adds notes of licorice, dark plum, and patent leather. Juicy, medium plus acidity enhancers the fruit and, paired with medium tannins, yields a very food-friendly Syrah that's a natural for steaks, roasts, or grilled fare. Try it with black olive pizza! Drink now through 2028. — a year ago

A true Sicilian at heart this Nero D’Avola is just so! From the intense amethyst-red color to the multi-faceted bouquet followed by a sweet tartness that finishes smooth and supple! I love being Italian! — 2 years ago

This Kumusha is blend of 88% Cab, 6% Cab Franc, and 6% Petit Verdot and bolsters a deep amethyst and garnet red color. The bouquet captures various shale minerals, red fruit, cherries and a hint of cinnamon. Followed by vibrant tannins, black pepper, anisette, cacao, cherries and end with a smooth finish. Perfect for a cheese platter for two!! — 2 years ago

9.3

Nose has fresh cherry, under-ripe cherry, ripe raspberry, strawberry jam, slight wood bark, slight alcohol, cherry jolly rancher candy and dried cherry.

Palate has (bright) dehydrated tart cherry, dried strawberry, slight acidic notes, dehydrated citrus with mild tannins.

Decanted 2H, high acidity nose on initial pour. Wine displays translucent amethyst with clear, light brown edge.

An absolutely fantastic Bourgogne! Bought a few months ago from a trusted source ($36!), honestly expecting to be dead, but we're so far from that it's breaking my mind...
I believe this is Monthélie vines.
The most perfect and supple cork, no Durand required today.

Paired to duck confit and green lentils, a favorite meal for cats and humans in our humble abode. — 3 years ago
