First sip is like candy. A little surprising. But as I drank it it was more typical of a MV chard. Decent wine. Not expensive. — a month ago
Opened this Sunday. Day 3 still good. Mineral backbone, subtle green apple/ citrus. Soft and full. So nice. — 4 days ago
Actually has no Pinot Noir in it. 20% each of Grolleau,Pinot d’Aunis, Gamay, Malbec, and Cab franc. Fragrant and so fresh. Great minerality, perfect for an aperitif on a warm evening. Don’t recall the price but it was nor expensive- under 20. Worth it. — 15 days ago
Had this with pasta and a vodka sauce, and garlic bread. Delicious Wednesday night! Pillow - soft in the mouth. Cherry, tar, old mohagany. Tannins integrated enough to drink on its own, but with the food- lovely. — a month ago
Soft, lots of cherry/ prune. Little sour too. I’ve had this with tomato based dishes and it’s nice. This time I made orriechieti, raab, and chickpeas. ( and a few cherry tomatoes). Went well with it. Enjoyable — 7 days ago
Lots of minerals and salinity in the bone dry wine. Great summer sipper. — 20 days ago
Smoked some beef back ribs. This went amazingly well with them. Raspberry and strawberry, some pepper and tobacco. I generally dislike the green pepper presence in cab franc. This didn’t have that. Moderate tannins. Great for bbq. Not expensive. — a month ago
Blackberry , black current. lots of fruit in the nose,; made for grilled steak. Tannins are there but pretty mellow. Very enjoyable wine with a great dinner. — a month ago

Had this with dinner last Friday. Forgot to write it up. Had that typical Carmenere flavor that is so unique. I describe it as sandy and lightly green. Probably not the best description, I know. — 2 days ago
