We are enjoying this at Robert DeNiro's TriBeCa Grill in Lower west Manhattan. This is from northern Rhone where most wines are 100% Syrah. This is an awesome wine. A bit tannic, but not overbearing. Good balance and I can't wait for the Spicy Lamb Meatballs! — 8 years ago

This Super Tuscan has been consistently excellent for at least 8 years running. 70% Sangiovese and 30% Cabernet blend. Velvety and smooth. A real bargain. — 9 years ago

Excellent offering, again at a great price. This Anderson Valley Pinot noir is very consistent with other quality pinots from that region. Subtle plum and current on the nose. Dark chocolate and raspberries on the paste. Very nice with the steak. — 9 years ago
