I love this wine. Don’t snooze on these New York State wines. Lovely and refreshing, tart and smooth mouthfeel, aromatic and just a joy to drink. But great with a variety of foods: the acidity and length pair well with spicy and rich foods alike. Get this and enjoy it! — 8 days ago

This is a big wine: unlike the delicate “angel’s breath” monastrel for which Gil is best known, this cab packs a whalloping 15% alcohol by volume. It’s all in balance: deep, strong tannins give it a strong backbone, and the fruit and acidity make it refreshing with a hearty, meaty meal. — 3 months ago

This is a lovely wine. It needs decanting, and then the balance and structure start to emerge. We had it with herb-crusted rack of lamb, and it was a great match. — 4 months ago

Such a flexible and lovely wine. It handled the challenge of a salad (not so easy with the vinegar in the dressing), and then it really shone with our roasted spicy sausages with shallots and apples. Its touch of sweet in the approach, along with its lush mouthfeel, handled the spice, and there long acid and mineral made each sip refreshing and clean. — 2 months ago

This is a tremendous wine. It is a great value: fresh, structured and taut. — 3 months ago

What a delightful wine. We had it young, and the fruit stood up to our gumbo, but the backbone and structure will serve it well as it ages. — 4 months ago

Super delightful, and flexible. Floral and fruity, it went with a strawberries and lemon sorbet as well as with an onion galette. — 3 months ago

What a great wine. A little virus and herb, a lot of mineral depth, and that bright Italian acidity, all held in a dynamic tension. Went with a spring vegetable risotto and some pan-fried snapper with fried sage in brown butter sauce. — 3 months ago

Nice and clean. Long finish with a whiff of herbal overtone clinging to the clean, mineral aftertaste. Was just right with our shrimp in a rich sauce. — 3 months ago
