August Sebastiani & brother-in-law, Kendrick Coakley, craft small-lot wines made with minimal intervention, so one can enjoy the truest representation of each appellation & how its terroir impacts specific varietals. Came across this rarity & grabbed a bottle. Aromas of ripe berry fruits & wafts of floral notes. On the palate raspberry & blueberry flavors, sweet cinnamon spice with an edge of tobacco tones. Smooth tannins, lingering ending with soft oaky notes. Great value! Nice! Small production. — 14 days ago

Great summer wine, silky, light tones of pear & apple, with a slight hint of apricot. It’s truly a delightful summer wine. — 20 days ago

Interesting blend from seven neighboring vineyards in Argentina, owned by a French wine maker. 52% Malbec, 21% Merlot, 15% Syrah, 7% Cab, 3% petit Verdot, 2% CF. A bit soft for my palate. — 2 days ago

Artesa (ahr TESS uh) means "craftsman" and connotes "handcrafted" in Catalan, language of Barcelona and their owner, Codorníu, one of the world's largest and oldest wineries. Ruby with rich berry fruit, citrus and floral spice. On the palate, strawberry and cherry, tangy, with cola and cedar notes adding earthy tones. Bright acidity, soft expressive tannins, long finish ending with mineral and cedar spice. Very nice, drink now & over next 5 years. — a month ago

Muy bueno este Pata Negra de Rioja España, tempranillo crianza. De color cereza oscuro, complejo en nariz, aromas a frutos rojos y negros, ligeros toques de especias y vainilla. En boca sabroso, gran cuerpo, el equilibrio perfecto entre la madera y la fruta, tostado, de persistencia media larga, final frutado, especiado, sedoso, invita a tomarlo. Temperatura de servicio 16° a 18° C. Calidad precio muy buena. Abrazos #winelover #wine #vino #pisco #piscolover #españa #rioja #peru — 17 days ago

This was a delicious pairing with lobster toast. It had crisp minerality and peach, apricot, orange peel notes.

This way over-delivers. Cranberry, black tea, bergamot, tobacco, camphor, dried mushrooms and a distinct loaminess. Perhaps a tad austere for the average bloke, with some elevated VA to boot. But this is a rather serious Pinot Noir with plenty of potential for extensive aging. I’m getting decidedly Old World vibes. — 25 days ago
