Great Shiraz! Softer than most with rich berry flavor. Well balanced. Like this one with beef, lamb and even marinara based Italian foods. — 9 years ago

Wonderful, reasonably priced wine that stands up well to spicy food, yet does not overpower beef dishes. This seems to be a good all-around wine. Would proudly serve this to company. — 10 years ago

Very soft yet rich at the beginning but can get harsh if not consumed within a couple of hours after opening. Would stand up well to lamb. Would buy again to share a dinner. — 9 years ago

Cherry with black pepper top note on first sip. Fruit developed and pepper receded as wine breathed. Maintained flavor, body through middle of bottle and finished smoothly. Good wine for company. Serve with mildly spicy foods. — 10 years ago

9.5

For someone who doesn't often enjoy white wines, this 2012 blend is wonderful. It's a nice contradiction, light but full-bodied, tart but sweet, and simple yet complex. This wine is a lovely blend of Chardonnay, Muscat, Gewürztraminer and Viognier, all of which blend so well in this wine! Will buy this again. — 9 years ago

Trentadue Winery

9.1

Light, crisp wine that would be perfect on a hot summer's evening with cheese & crackers or sushi. Well balanced grape/apple taste without tongue shriveling tartness. Would definitely have this again. — 10 years ago
