Savory Mourvèdre with beautiful structure and length. Took several hours to open up but paired wonderfully with hanger steak with a charred scallion sauce. Earth. Has years ahead of it. — 2 days ago

Easy drinking and soft on the palate with crisp orchard fruit and a slight creaminess to the finish, though not a lot of complexity to speak of. A bit one note. — a month ago

Tropical. Ripe and boozy but super tasty. Nice minerality and acidity hides behind the intense pineapple and 14.5% alc.
Certainly not insipid. Delicious with lamb over rice. — a month ago

Really shines with some air. Structured Mencia that offers a lot of wine for the money. Ripe, smooth berries with a touch of earth and great acidic balance. — a month ago

Full and tropical, pineapple. Big weight and texture from lees but still a nice amount of acid. Bit boozy, but would you expect less from Carneros Roussanne? — a month ago

What is going on here? Paul Hobbs making top notch, inexpensive Malbec in Mendoza?!? Dark fruit with great acidic balance and very approachable tannin. Not my typical preference, but this is very well made for under $20. Recommend some air time. — a month ago

Entry level Sangiovese from a tried and true Brunello estate. Certainly not lacking in structure with black cherries, berries, firm acid, and hearty tannic grip. Pair this with meat lover’s pizza or bolognese. — a month ago

Melons and earth with a slightly salty edge to it. Medium+ body. Very intriguing wine that is incredibly easy to drink. — a month ago

Mmm. ‘98 showing up in a big way. Finesse and power wrapped together in a beautiful package. Spiced red fruit clad in vanilla bean, lengthy acidity, and subtle earth. Everything in its place. Get at this. — a month ago
