Lots of strawberry and white pepper which leads me to believe it’s Grenache foreward. Super soft, silky texture. An easy sipper. — a month ago

Somewhat reductive. Medium acidity and a touch earthy with ripe pear. Acceptable dinner/table wine. — 6 months ago

Has that distinctive reductive rubber note on the nose. Very green and mineral. Searingly dry with fairly high acid. — a year ago

8.7

Not sure of the blend here, but almost certainly dominated by Cab. Has those hallmarks. Heavy use of oak. Has some sweet and spicy notes. Definitely on the heavier side. A lot of leather and cedar. Long vanilla finish. Very much a “steakhouse” red. Punches above its weight in terms of price. — 2 years ago

8.8

Wet stone, flint, grapefruit, gooseberry, fresh cut grass. This is exactly what you hope for from Sancerre. Zippy, fresh, light; pairs well with food but drinks well on its own. — a month ago

9.1

A great example of California Chardonnay done right. Rich and unctuous with big oaky vanilla notes balanced by a razor sharp acidity that keeps everything harmonious. This is old world influence meets new world swagger. — 9 months ago

The nose is lemon curd, butterscotch, and fresh cut grass. Bright acidity up front with some buttery richness through the mid-palate and a hint of vanilla on the finish. All around a very well balanced wine. — 3 months ago

Here’s the thing: this is good wine. It’s dense, chewy, and structured. There’s a nice balance of red and black fruit, graphite, cedar, mushroom, soil, and just a touch of Brett funk. It’s fairly tannic, so probably best with food, but can still be enjoyed on its own. I would never be mad if I was offered this. I was lucky to take home an open bottle from a job tonight, but I think the price tag on this is ridiculous. — a year ago
