At Suds & Bottles (née Fermented) in Canton — 8 months ago
Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) and Syrah (20%). Walla Walla (Rocks District) fruit. Dark purple color with a ruby rim. Lovely aromas of dried cherries, black plums, Earl Grey tea, iron, cardamom and black pepper. Same fruits on the pallet along with hints of black currant, black olives and that ever present touch of black pepper. Just a hint of mint on the finish. The Syrah really shines through on this one. Mouth drying (but smooth) tannins. Soft texture with a nice balance of acidity and alcohol. Aging beautifully! Revisited in March 2023. Still outstanding! — 2 years ago

Exactly what I was looking for- delicious, uncomplicated, weeknight sipper. Medium body, cherry from the Pinot and raspberry with icing sugar from the Gamay. Opens super nicely after an hour. Château Thébaud, Nantes, Loire — 6 months ago
Powerful yet elegant Aussie Shiraz. Dark ruby color. Aromas of raspberry, eucalyptus and cocoa. Palate is rich with plum and raspberry fruit along with notes of root beer, baking spices, black licorice and Earl Grey tea. Hint of vanilla on the long and lingering finish. The tannins are concentrated but well integrated. Plush, rich and intense but beautifully balanced. Aging nicely. — a year ago
I love this wine. Pure aromas of white fruits, saline, floral notes, yeast and a stony minerality. Rich and dense texture with a lively and energetic acidity and bright flavors of white fruits, and a minerality that leaves no doubt that we are in Nantes country. It is linear, incisive, elegant and with a beautiful tension. And what about its persistent length on notes of citrus fruit and minerality. — 3 years ago
A favourite. This wine manages to contain all the lovely attributes of muscadet - mineral, lemon, apple, lactic taste - whilst keeping the pure fruit at the core but having a lovely sea freshness too. — 6 months ago
Light mouth feel, slightly bitter, peachy, smells slightly like almonds and blackberry — 9 months ago
Do you know I keep trying it and I’m just not a fan of Gewurztraminer. There’s too much of a perfume flavor to it but it’s sort of reminds me of like chewing those fake fruit gummy‘s. This is delicious, it just sort of gets overwhelming after a while. — 3 years ago
