Beautiful garnet color in the glass. Subtle aromas of blue and red fruits with very slight hints of licorice. Elegant flavors of cassis, raspberries and some earthiness with a firm tannic backbone. Nicely integrated with a real sense of where this wine came from. The finish lingers with some oak and acidity coming thru with fruit. Bordeaux has not been my favorite in the past but I am trying to learn more about it. Cheers everyone! — a day ago

An elegant Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. Great aromas of red fruit, oak, and pie crust. At first taste, you are hit with a hint of fruit but really more mineral like tastes that suddenly are overtaken by tastes of strawberries, raspberries, butterscotch, and chocolate. The tannins are ultra-sleek and the acidity is perfect. A beautiful fruit filled finish with some floral overtones. A very nice old world style California Pinot. — a month ago

Ringing in 2019 with steak and lobster tonight. Our first wine is a slight departure from the types of wines we normally drink. This Chassagne-Montrachet has a very nice nose with notes of lemongrass, pears and fresh made bread. Wonderful acidity coats your mouth to bring on lots of citrus and melon flavors. A very crisp and clean wine that I really like. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby red color. Dark fruit, earthiness, and spice on the nose. Intense tastes of dried figs, licorice, and sweet tobacco with a dusty backbone. The acidity is perfect and finish is fantastic. Happy Valentines Day everyone! — 6 days ago

Very floral nose. Lots of grapefruit apricot, crisp minerality and a touch of oak. This is a fantastic wine that I want to try again. — 19 days ago

What a great way to kick off a new year. We are big fans of Merlot and this is one of the best we’ve enjoyed. Elegant aromas of red currants, baking spices and cinnamon. Once you start drinking the wine there are bold flavors of dark cherries, chocolate, anise and black pepper. The tannins are ultra sleek and the finish is intense. A very well crafted wine. Interestingly, my wife and I both thought our initial taste reminded us of grape flavored cough syrup your mother may have given you as a child (I say this in the very best way). — 2 months ago

Wow! Great aromas of black fruit, chocolate and maple syrup. Intensely fruit forward with tastes of black currants, cassis, chocolate covered dark cherries, with some oak hints. Tannins are refined with a little earthiness very nicely integrated overall. The finish is stupid long with lingering fruit notes that scream “put more of this in my glass!” — 19 days ago

Wine 2 to ring in 2019. No surprise about how good this wine is. Very nicely balanced with great fruit, acidity and silky sleek tannins. Lots of dark fruit on the nose but also a great sense of the neighborhood where these grapes came from. Intense flavors of blueberries, dark plums, tobacco and chocolate. An extremely long finish that leaves you wanting more. Paired great with a filet tonight. — 2 months ago
