A new varietal for me. Aromas of honey and apple. Lemony apple flavors with salty mineral notes on the finish. — 10 hours ago

8.4

Budget friendly Chilean Sauvignon Blanc. Light aromas of lemon and grass. Flavors of lemon, slate and dried herbs are a bit overwhelmed by the high alcohol and sharpness on the finish. — 9 days ago

From a Naked Wines “take a chance” shipment. Really good Alsatian style Pfaltz Pinot Blanc. Aromas of slate, petrol and lemon. Flavors of pears, apples and a hint of lemon. Bracing acidity. Excellent! — 4 days ago

9.0

BIG nose of honey, melon and wisteria flowers. Strong flavors of lychee, minerals, melon, spices and honey. Hint of sweetness. Lots going on in this white, but even though it is busy, it is well balanced. Pleasantly oxidized with a short finish. Memorable FLX Gewurtz.. — 12 days ago

Bright Portuguese (Dao) red blend. Aragonez, Touriga Nacional and Jaen - 40/40/20. Red cherry and plums on both the nose and pallet. Some floral aromas too. Very fruit forward with a hint of oak. Medium body. Excellent food wine! Outstanding QPR! — 19 days ago

8.5

Very light bodied and mild dry FLX Riesling. Faint nose of lemon and lime. (Very few petrol notes). Watered down flavors of lemon, lime and melon. Very low acidity level. Drinkable, but I expect more from this producer. Guessing 2015 was a tough vintage? — 8 days ago

7.9

80/20 Sangiovese/Negroamaro Blend from Puglia. A bit harsh on the nose. Musty smelling with a faint hint of blueberries and flowers. Blue and black fruit on the pallet. Tannins are relatively smooth, but there is some heat on the finish. Medium bodied. Better with food, but not a pleasant wine. Not better the next day. — 14 days ago

9.2

Brambly, forest floor, plums and organics on the nose. Loads of blackberry fruit and licorice flavors. A bit of a fruit bomb, but very drinkable. (And it did settle down after some aeration). Perfectly smooth with mild tannins. — 22 days ago
