Great little wine, petrol & peach some apple & mineral, real nice, oily rounded edges but still lovely acidity - barest hint of RS - fun w/Thai food — 5 days ago

Pretty darn skippy - entered seamlessly into the fold on Thanksgiving when paired w/my smoked turkey... enough of a backbone but this is a Lover not a Fighter w/elegant styled cherry/raspberry accented w/floral/sassafras smoke & hint of spice - enchanting — 22 days ago

Very enjoyable but this is New World all the way: pliable smooth mid-weight fruit bomb w/big time blackberry & black plum, and maybe some other stuff lurking in the background but this is meant to be a crowd pleaser. Good delivery for the value ($20) — 23 days ago

Really enjoyed this SB! Very expressive straight away with intriguing mix of grassy/herbaceous w/tropical & citrus fruit. Mid weight & seamless across palate w/perfect acidity - zippy not zingy - right thru smooth finish. Versatile and well done — 7 days ago

Very Impressive offering for <$20! Dark ruby and not quite opaque, the nose is all red fruit w/distinct cherry/raspberry/strawberry with some soil thrown in for good measure. Great acidic structure and backbone to this wine and it drank smoothly w/flavors carrying thru to a generous finish. — 22 days ago

Bone Dry, lean, austere - all sharp edges here - not sure if that’s the style or vintage but you cut cut paper with this stuff... — a month ago

Look - this is what it is, an opulent sexy Chard that has some age & maturity adding another dimension to the overall effect. Showing dark & oxidized there is still a ton of tropical fruit (guava, pineapple & mango) with caramel dipped apple and orange oil. Thick acidic structure - just not racy and does have trouble cutting thru this viscous giant. Full rich hi-octane across the palate. — 13 days ago

Solid year in year out - dark and brooding with just enough guts to be versatile food-wise but still supple with lively acidity moving the chewy fruit train forward with some spice, Earth, licorice & cedar thrown in for good measure. — 23 days ago

Blackberry & Boysenberry jam, some spice, pepper, smoke and dusty/soil/leather woven together. Not too shabby, lacked concentration & structure - missing some tannins to hold it up from being a little flabby. Smooth across palate & thru to finish. — a month ago
