Nice expression of French SB. Fairly smooth with slight tropicality like a NZ SB. — 2 months ago
Dark fruits and plum with a little oak. Slight tang with fruit upfront but softened nicely with air over a day or 2. Really smoothed out with rich flavor and soft tannins. — 3 months ago
A little heartier than anticipated for a Willamette PN. Solid cherry, berry and plum with a little oak and lacking earthiness. Willamette is my sweet spot but this underwhelmed a little. Definitely got better after breathing/ next day. — 14 days ago
Gooseberry fused with lemon/lime make this Colombard/SB blend crisp, fruity, and low acidic. When the weather’s this hot, this is a solid go-to. — 2 months ago
Not too familiar with French Malbecs but would come back to this one. Tannins smoothed after several hours/next day yet fairly high acidity with tart cherries, berries and plums. Maybe a little cocoa oak and leather too. Good stuff accompanying food. — 4 months ago
Cherry and dark fruit comprise this low tannin, lighter cotes. Not a real standout but good with foods. — a month ago
Great summer wine - like sauv blanc meets Pinot Grigio. Citrus are most prominent fruits in this dry delight. — a month ago
Concerned upfront from the alcohol smell, but the plums, dark berries and slight tobacco mellowed while open. Even better on day 2. Started with low expectations but was quite pleased and would drink again. — 3 months ago
Medium bodied with lots of dark berries, cherries, and oaky vanilla. . Sometimes picked up a little more tannin than I like on the finish, but definitely want to spend more time with Portuguese wines. — 5 months ago

Not as dry as expected with sweetness lingering on the finish. Dark fruits and spice make this a smooth complement to food. My first exposure to Alicante Bouschet - would try again occasionally. — 2 hours ago
