Pinot Noir? From Sancerre?!? Mais, c’est vrai. In the glass: very pretty reds, light at tops, pink-red near sides of the bowl, darkening to a velvety rich dark rouge-noir center bottom of the glass… “La Vie en Rose” nearly leaps out pf the glass. On the nose: fresh paper and new spring acacia leaves. A pack of Marlborough’s still wrapped in plastic wants to announce itself at the end of a deep sniff. Ahhh, there it is—the spring cherries of a light pinot dance forth over the lips… en point…and plier mid-palate to let roll in lush cherry juice—just a little tart-sweet and delightfully bright… Edith Piaf coloratura leads to French Oak-inflected vanilla on a pillow-soft finish…oh!
A lingering finish at that—extra points, thank you! — 2 months ago
Excellent left bank Bordeaux cab / Merlot mix. Cherry oak leather. Some spice. Felt like it had Petit Verdot but bottle didn’t indicate it did. — 2 months ago
Medium golden color. Expressive aromas of lime, lemon and flint. The complex palate features grapefruit, almond and roasted coconut. Lovely mineral note on the finish. Nice creamy texture. Quite concentrated, plush and beautifully balanced. Outstanding! Appreciate you sharing this wine, Kase! — 14 days ago

Smooth Margaux Bordeaux at the Lighthouse Restaurant, Ft. Myers, FL — 11 hours ago
Wine is dark red. On nose i had blackcurrants, sour cherry, pepper, cheedar. On palate, its dominated with round tannin and alcohol despite its 13.5%. Mid palate i got the fresh and young berries, ended with low acidity. The wine is half merlot, 43% carb sav, and the rest are carb franc and petit verdot. Enjoy now! Cheers!! — 12 days ago

Bright light golden color. Fragrant aromas of baked apple and pear along with notes of white flowers and wet stones. The palate is full of apple, pineapple and orange flavors. Hint of baking spices on the very long and chalky finish. Quite full bodied, intense and powerful. Rich and concentrated mouthfeel. Thanks Kase! — 14 days ago
