Excellent sparkling from Vallontano in Brazil. This is a special cuvée for a well known Brazilian singer called Paula Toller, hence the LaToller namesake. One of the finest sparkling you can find on the South American shores. — 11 days ago

In my next life I want to be a fado singer. In the meantime, this easy drinking, lemon forward, hints of herbs (tarragon, thyme) will completely suffice. Surprised by the low marks. — 2 years ago

Ron from VA

First, rating is based on peak maturity, probably 2-3 years ago. I would estimate this mass lost 15-20% of is max acid/tannin profile. Nevertheless, this PV still has the power to push thru meatloaf (fatty proteins). It’s easy to see how ripe the 2010 vintage was…while structure has regressed, this sturdy & viscous PV remains sweet and polished in flavor notes. The finish was still positive and refreshing, lacking any sourness or VA… With its age, and degradation, simply finding the right food to pair will still allow the best of this veteran singer to entertain. Five additional various 2010 PVs from the region to evaluate. I am cautiously hopeful that we will find one that has stood the phenolic test of time (the battle to retail tannins vs acid in a hot hot Virginia vintage). — 4 years ago

The mocha is strong with this one. So is the mint. Let's call it a York Peppermint Patty.
Listening to Tripping Daisy. Was never a fan, but they killed it last night and I got to chat up the singer. Their music would be better with Gamay. — 2 months ago

Very plummy. Smooth start with a smoky finish, like the first song in the last set of the night - voiced by a sultry jazz singer in an underground bar.

A FAVORITE and definitely a buy again. — 3 years ago

An exciting collaboration between my favorite singer, Dave Matthews and an award-winning wine maker Sean McKenzie. " This wine pulls you in with notes of smokey berry and a pop of raspberry jam". Very enjoyable and reasonably priced wine — 4 years ago

Lovely wine! Very harmonious IGT from Tuscan hill south of Florence. The blend composition; Sangiovese, Merlot and Cab Sauv., which provides an interesting and unique complexity. Dark cherry, raisins, dates on the nose, pleasant acidity and perfectly balanced. Soft tannins and medium dry. Long but not overly lingering finish. Quick fact this wine is from Sting (the singer) vinyard. Great job! — 9 months ago

Label is pretty garish. A bit Trump-ian. Heavy as a 2 pound hammer. Smells interesting. Beach rocks, berry pies and rain storms. Also lumber in the sun. Flavors are beefy and bold. Balanced. A bit too clean for true Syrah style and expression. It’s got a nice zip to it. Plenty of cutting acid. That helps keep it intriguing and keeps the fruit bombs at bay. Finish is raspy and sultry, like a smoker, lady singer. For a G.O. $8 wine I’m pleased with my purchase. I’d not pay the $55 this was at the winery (which I think folded). It’s a nice wine. — 4 years ago
