A really satisfying wine, heavy on the merlot. The key for these ripe merlot-based CA wines is some structure and discernable second-tier flavors behind the overwhelming dark fruit and alcohol. This one delivers - blueberries on the nose initially, with chocolate cake, earth, and cinnamon. Had sampled the 2018 last year; this far better. — 2 months ago
Great bottle with alot going on. Complex nose, with notes of earth and spice under brighter fruit flavors. Not heavy, nice balance between traditional and modern barolo styles. — 9 days ago
Outstanding. Strong dusty, earthy elements I usually don't associate with Bandol. Iron notes. Good tannins/structure. — a month ago

Love this house, but this was actually better than I expected from a regional cab. Bright, well-defined flavors and well balanced. Went well with roasted duck. Mom in town. — 11 days ago
A nice moscato. Distinct lemon note on the nose. Refreshing, not overly sweet. — a month ago

Maybe an off night, but I found this disappointing. A too-sweet note when first opened, dissipates but I didn't think this ever found the right balance. Too smooth, no precise flavors. — 2 months ago

Inky dark, satisfying. Oddly low on fruit, but still good. Well worth the $17. — 4 days ago
