9.1

Nice spicy nose, full of exotic notes (ground black pepper, anise, nutmeg, vanilla cinnamon), a bit of white pear plus a touch of honeycomb cake. Exotic & ripe yet very fresh.


Hits the palate quite bold & self assertive - honeyed grilled peaches and (over)ripe cantaloupe with a healthy pinch of nutmeg & vanilla then the mineral & juicy acidity cuts through bringing balance and leading towards a long mineral, salty finish. Quite layered & complex. And yet highly drinkable.
A very nice one! — a year ago

2020. A nice rosé with some spice on the palate - a different animal than the Provençal rosés I usually get in Lyon. Found it through a Spanish distributor. Recommend. — 3 years ago

Light color. Rusty red. Smells like rosehip tea and hibiscus. Flavors a pretty complex and intriguing. Has a bit of a citrus (blood orange) side. Fine and full finish. This is a complex and nice balanced rule of red. — 7 months ago

A wonderful wine. It has aged well and should continue to do so. We enjoyed it. Highly recommended as a signature SA cab. — 5 years ago

8.9

39/38/23 blend of Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Grenache Blanc for this vintage. Yellow white, excellent clarity. Floral and stone fruit notes in nose. Nectarine, floral and Meyer lemon flavors. Pear emerges after an hour to dominate. Light skin astringency on finish with some mineral character. Lightly fruity but mercifully dry, just enough acidity to make it work. Good value. — a month ago

Medium-deep ruby color.
Aromas of stewed black cherry, roast herbs, vanilla. Sweet, yet simulaneously savory.
Dry. Flavors of cherry compote, vanilla, soft bell pepper, earthy, peppercorn, herbs. Medium-rich, semi-chewy tannins.

Very nice, bold and full bodied for a Syrah. Pleasantly surprised. I had it first with meat and then with pasta, and it held up well to both. Would buy again — 2 years ago
