Ripe, soft integrated tannins…smoke, blackberry, touch of saddle leather. Young, New World style… just a hint of barnyard and forest floor. — 2 months ago
Screaming blast of tart lemon acidity. Not very pleasant. Beautiful light yellow with tiny scrubbing bubbles. After about 15-20 minutes a type of weighted creamy mid-palate makes me smile. Way too young, but simply luscious and lifted with a long, caressing finish. — 2 months ago

Excitement in a glass… deep ruby color with explosive tones of cranberry, strawberry, and Red delicious apple. Smooth, balanced with hints of baking spices, cinnamon, and clove. Perfect foil for Eric Ripert’s tasting menu at Blue on Grand Cayman. Capable of giving Selosse a run for the money. — a month ago

Glorious smooth as a baby’s butt. Weightless accompaniment to Christmas tenderloin and Yorkshire pudding and decadent mashed potatoes. Ripe, rich, blackberry, ripe cherry, with impeccable balance.

Almost opaque, light brickish scarlet. Smokey, dried savory cherry notes…. Gorgeous balance between acid and fruit. Hard to keep from crushing the entire glass. The finish goes on for 90 seconds and makes me smile. Marcella Hazan’s Bolognese is near perfection and works so well with the mountain-grown Nebbiolo. — 2 months ago
