2017 Bordeaux style blend opened Sept 2023. Dark red with long legs! Bouquet dark chocolate, black cherry and earthy. Taste is smooth with mild tannins and full flavor. Definite dark cherry with coffee. Excellent!!!! — 2 years ago

Continue to look for sauvignon blanc that has less acidity and citrus taste. The French sauvignon blanc from Val de Loire meet this. Opened 2020 vintage May 2023 and was not disappointed. Aroma of fruits with passion fruit and smooth. Minimal acidity and slight citrus taste, but definite fruit. Good for sipping and excellent with fish or sharp tastes. There are better French sauvignon! This was relatively inexpensive. — 3 years ago

This 2016 opened 2021. It’s a good standby for a smooth red that is dry and with a good taste. Aroma is okay. Cost is great and worth having available. — 4 years ago

Opened July 30, 2023 and drunk after decanting for 2hr. Mild aroma with black cherry and earthy. Low tannins and okay taste that might benefit from a few years aging. I would consider it young! Notable is the 92 rating by James Suckling. — 3 years ago

Opened this 2022 sauvignon blanc May 2023. Was chilled and tasted after the pour. Very different from classic Marlborough that is most often drunk. Very clear with fruity aroma of pineapple and passion fruit. Lovely! Low acid, minimal grapefruit but dry wonderful fruit tastes. Definitely a keeper. — 3 years ago

This is a 2019 vintage opened April 2022. It is barely yellow and has a smooth floral aroma with a tinge of sweetness. The first taste is mildly sweet and again floral. Went well with broiled pink trout and sautéed spinach. Would buy again. Prefer a less sweet variety. — 4 years ago

Opened this 2016 vintage May 2023 and decanted for hour. The bouquet was not full but included dark berries and earthy flavors with tad of coffee. Taste was mild tannins, not very heavy and moderate dark berries with coffee or chocolate. Would rate it good to very good but not great or outstanding. — 3 years ago

This is a 2020 vintage opened Mar 2023. Clear color with slight earthy aroma and delightful taste that is dry and minimal floral taste. Nonetheless it went wonderfully with pasta and vegetables amplifying the taste of the pasta. Can be a nice standard to keep available. — 3 years ago
