Garnet-colored. Hits like it might be astringent but immediately smooths out and rolls across your tongue leaving a layer of tannins that diffuses nicely. If you swish it around, it will make you pucker. Very dry but buttery if you keep it centered in your mouth. I bought it because of an average rating of 9.3 for this 2020 vintage but I don’t think I’d rank it that high. Maybe a 9.0, a little disappointing for $50. — 5 days ago

First time trying out the new backyard digs but still drinking the NV BSBR. Go to Rosé bubbles. Always get that 50-50 bar or creamsicle flavor with perfect, powdery chalkiness that the region of Champagne does best. Also, appreciate the 12% ABV. Yummy. 😋 — 2 years ago

A very pretty color of dark ruby with a very wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of red and black fruits, light cedar, tobacco leaf, earth, licorice, spices, herbs, peppercorn, eucalyptus and dark chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with blueberries, plums, cherries, currants, light wood, coffee, spices, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, licorice and black tea.

Long tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.

This is a delicious Cinsault based blend from Lebanon. What a great surprise. Elegant and spicy. Complex, smooth and well balanced.

This Single Vineyard feels much older than it actually is. Feels like a red Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

This 4 year old is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to drink nicely over the next 5 to 7 years.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient. Easy drinking and very pleasant, once it opens up.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with game meats or lamb dishes.

A blend of 50% Cinsault, 40% Grenache and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French Oak barrels for 6 months.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Made in a small town at foot of Sierra Cantabria in the DO. A single variety Tempranillo from 50 year old vines has a deep Ruby red color and aged for 18 months in French and American oak. Aromas of red fruit and spice. On the palate ripe black fruit, fine tannins, well balanced with a medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and some oak notes. Nice! — 9 months ago

Checking in on my birth year 1978. Still doing well - a bit smoky but not over the hill. Maybe it can last to 50…? — 7 months ago

Overpriced exotic white blend from Sonoma: you get a bunch of that Malvasia nose, very floral, fennel, herbs, citrus-y, silky on palate, nicely integrated acidity - more austere on palate, lean/angular, herbaceous green edged, but w/decent power — 2 years ago
