Nice bang for the buck, a bunch of red fruit and the right amount of orange wine sour (don’t hate the description- it’s refreshing). Love the producer, can’t go wrong with this Grand Cru. — 3 months ago

Disgorged Jan 2019, so a young bottle in 2020. Extremely enjoyable, light in a good way, with floral rose notes. Lasted about 15 minutes - a real drinker. Paillard delivers a consistent style, elegant and approachable. — a year ago

2017 Vuillermin is dense, with layers of cherry, red fruits, and a great backbone. This is crazy good, affordable, and 100% terroir specific. Outstanding, memorable, and iconic. — a year ago

2009 is ironed out and plush, red fruits at the front and a long aftertaste. Worth waiting for - patience pays off! — 4 months ago

2020 is a perfect drinking window, all the red fruit is still bright, with some nicely soft edges. Stellar example of South Africa cab franc. — a year ago

2017 vintage of Eau Forte is a juicy slugger. Ripe cherries and lavender, long aftertaste just keeps coming. Remarkable and memorable, highly recommended! — a year ago

Bound to please for the price, zingy with enough body to stand up to sushi and fried chicken. — 8 months ago

Drinking 2005 Abeja Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in 2020 is an absolute wow. Massive peak pleasure of dark fruit and a bright backbone. Can’t imagine a better window, just drink it now! — a year ago
