#LOVE this #2004 #Chesler #Selene #Meritage ($50) #LeDuWines #Nyc This wine is made my one of the trailblazer #FemaleWinemakers in #CA #MiaKlein who prices her wine as she feels she should, not as Napa prices command. Interestingly, this is a Brooding, Muscular, Strapping, #Masculine wine... #Ironic ? As it's made by a #Woman ? :) Intense Spice on the attack (when it first hits your tongue), then immediately #Savory ( #Herbal Sage, Roasted Green Bell Peppers, Tomato Leaf) #BlackFruit (Cassis, Blackberries, Black Cherries & Blueberries... Milk Chocolate, BIG #Spice #BigRedChewingGum (#Cinnamon ), Clove, Black Pepper, #Floral Violet SO much #Complexity So many Layers... I could go on & on. The finish is long... It's Savory, and the Spice sits on the top of the cheeks of your mouth & the top of your tongue (just like when u spit out your stick of Big Red Gum! ;) I can't say enough about this wine. For this price, this wine should have a Cult Following. I almost don't want to tell people about it, so I can buy the rest of the bottles for my self. 👏👏👏🍷👍 60% #CabernetFranc 22% #Merlot 18% #CabernetSauvignon 💃 — 9 years ago
Fuller body than most #Beaujolais I have tried. Notes of #chocolate #spice finishing with hint of #leather . Can’t say I like it as younger #beaujolaiscru — 7 years ago
Well-aged #brunello, drinking nicely with #chocolate and plummy notes, undertones of #spice. Semi-translucent ruby color tinged with gold around the edges, medium body. — 9 years ago
Starts out smoothly and finishes with a good bit of #spice. If you like a little bite on the back end - this red will satisfy! Def worth $25 — 10 years ago

Who knew that earthy cherries could capture your undivided attention for an hour? #spice #earth #cherries #mascarello #2010 #eleganceinaglass — 7 years ago
In case the balloons go up tonight, this was a good one to go out with. Regardless of outcome, I reckon I will probably be putting on my trousers in the am. Animal spices and crazy intensity. #election2016 #rhoneinpa #spice — 8 years ago

Ripe #cherry #plum and #darkchocolate notes with #spice #pepper finish. Soft tanning and bright acidity, reminding me of #pinotnoir but spicier and earthier — 7 years ago
