Sneaky delicious. Doesn't jump up and announce itself. Just one of those wines that you realize how great it was once you're almost done with the bottle. Salty citrus diamond edge cut. Crazy good value. — a year ago

Her: This doesn't taste like Barolo.
Me: Nope. Tastes like new oak.
Her: Not really what I was looking for.
Me: Me either.
This is why we're married.

I “liked” this because of the great review, not over oaked spoofilized Nebbiolo.

I love this wine so much I took home the last bottles instead of selling them. Spicy strawberry pepper acid cream deliciousness. I dunno how this evaporates so quickly. ⚡️🍓💥⚡️ — a year ago

Mineral and wild Loire gamay (with a little persan). You're not going to confuse this with cru Beaujolais as it's learner and more driven and feral. With a light chill and some cured pork products - perfect. — a year ago

What a great surprise - honeyed and waxy and viscous but cut with balancing acidity and great texture. This goes toe to toe with the great Rhone whites. Overdelivers, and the only down side is the 500ml bottle. Last ounce on day two was even more precise and crystalline. Wow. — a year ago

9.0

Rustic cherry juice that finishes with tannic snap like you're sucking on the cherry pit. With a light chill, this is perfect barbeque wine. Another wine that seems to empty faster than you think possible. — a year ago

Well, this just keeps getting better, which is a shame because there will never be any more. Astonishing acidity that comes without sacrificing weight or extraction. Wooly/cirtus/honey/laserbeam. A cattle prod to my Chenin pleasure center. — a year ago

A core of sweet fruit wrapped in spices and carried on a foundation of earth. Shockingly delicate, silken, perfectly balanced. Beautifully evolved and drinking 💪. — a year ago

Whoa. VA city. Beautiful blackberry/olive/meat underneath, but hard to taste, and I don't mind a little VA lift in my glass. Other, more recent vintages have been very clean, but not this bottle. FWIW, other folks really enjoyed it. — a year ago

Fresh, juicy tart dark berry and peach. On this night, missing that next gear of depth and/or complexity. Tasty, but not compelling. — a year ago

11.4%? Maybe picked a tad too early? I like low alcohol too but ya gotta let the grapes get phenologically ripe.

@Tom Casagrande - Dunno. I've had this before when there's been more there, there.
