Longtime favorite and I snap up this foxy number whenever I see it. Crunchy strawberry and herbs, a bit of animal and yeast at the end but not too much to compromise the freshness. I don’t think this ages and should be drunk up but that doesn’t make it any less special — 2 years ago

Foxy, peppery, funky, with character of black currants, kalamata olives, iron, a bit of sweetness. Gentle tannins and acids, very pleasant. — 5 years ago

It is Sunday night and I have finished three rounds of shoveling snow. I have just sat down to open and enjoy the 2016 Roxy Ann Winery Single Vineyard Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, cedar box, menthol and earth.

On the palate I am getting good black cherry, blackberry, black plum, cedar, graphite and earth.

This wine is medium+ to full bodied with medium + acidity and medium + firm sandy tannins that lead into a long dark fruit gravelly finish. Well, besides getting 10-12 inches of snow and having to shovel several times today, the weekend has been very nice. Please stay safe and healthy and have a great week ahead. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 5 years ago

Sweet foxy Concord grape flavor, adult grape juice is the best way to describe this wine. I have to give it a 9.5 because for the style it is really good and not super sweet. This is not a wine to sit and think about or mull over for hours while drinking it, just buy, drink and enjoy! — 6 years ago

Wow. So aromatic - red fruit, earth and graphite. Very savory and quite grippy, with an iron, blood and mineral blanket still covering the foxy, wild berry, currant-y fruit underneath. Super structured and focused. Serious, dark and brooding. Not quite there but close. Very cool wine. — 7 years ago

Musty pine nuts,

Dark, dank fruit leather, deep forest mushroom, oil cured olive, squid ink.
Overtones of honey, which seems familiar in older wines, the acid and oak playing a foxy role in the end of this wine.
Yum. Always worth holding on to the CDP’s for a couple of years.

Blueberry cobbler meats fresh violets and foxy cleopatra! If this doesn't scream St Joseph I don't know what does. Really looking forward to seeing how this baby develops. Classic. Totally over delivering for the price I paid - $16.99! — 10 years ago

Dark ruby-purple color, definitely shows a little VA, but this is so complex and shows aromas and flavors I’m struggling to identify, there is a subtle “foxy” aroma I associate with Native American hybrid grapes, very long finish, great wine!! — 3 years ago

Really interesting. The palate shows strong flavors of passionfruit, papaya, and red licorice. The fruit is very forward though the wine is dry.

The palate and nose are foxy.

Very distinctive. I wouldn't want much. — 7 years ago

Lacrima di Morro d'Alba is one of the world's great pizza wines, and tonight is pizza night. Super-dark saturated color. Funky nose of crushed, foxy blackberries and human skin. (Yup, I said that.) a bit of dank minerality too. Punchy, very minerally flavors. Good acids. Complexity? No. Long finish? Negative. But this is great pizza-cleansing, swallowable mouthwash. — 9 years ago

Transparent dark red. Cigar box and just ripe black currant. Ferrous. Lithe. Some wild herbs, violets, and a foxy feral quality. — 3 years ago

Popped and poured and the nose is incredible right off the bat. Crushed fresh grapes/magical grape soda. Lifted purple and blue fruit. Flowers. Tart and so transparent with a piquant, foxy, brambly, currant-y quality that keeps your nose in the glass. Wow, this is such a pleasure to drink. Keeps going with blood, gravel, mint, subtle smoke and lingering sweetness. I love this wine and I’m kicking myself for only buying 2 bottles. So elegant.

Holy shit. 24 hours and this is absolutely singing. — 5 years ago

Foxy. Black currants and dust on the nose with oak and some cocoa. Savory, tannic, palate staining and a little sweet, but with enough acidic lift and freshness even at 14 years to make for interesting drinking. Some sediment has fallen out, but not enough; more time will help.. Very tasty. — 6 years ago

Another super interesting wine by Deirdre Heikin. This blend is 90% Marquette and 10% La Crescent. Two northern american grape variety and the wine shows that non vitis vinifera varieties can make very good wine. The nose is a bit foxy at first, and the taste is then very interesting, good acidity level, slightly sour, notes of herbs and berries but still very round. This profiles definitely reminds me of alpine wines such as Mondeuse or even l’Etraire de la Dui, although these are vitis vinifera.

Sign of a real good wine: this bottle only got better on day 2 and 3...

Great job by pionneer La Garagista! — 6 years ago

So unique. Nose has sweet, musky crushed violets, and an intense grapiness verging on “foxy.” Tangy and ripe, with good acids a a clingy minerally note in the finish. Went pretty well with chicken and artichokes. — 7 years ago

It's one of the best vyds in the region and always proven when it's aged... zippy and bloody, raspberry, black tea and mandarin rind. Foxy and fresh, no brett, and the mild oxidation plays well with the very upright nature of this site — 9 years ago
