Baf food pairing (a rich lentil stew) made this initially come off as really flat. On the nose: soft wild strawberry, baking spice, jolly rancher. On the palate: ok acidity to start, a touch flat, mothball, then some grapeseed bitterness, and a very soft, very finely grained tannin. Very nice finish. This needs time, and a better food pairing. — 5 years ago

Tart cherry lingers in the nose.

A touch of citrus, mingling with blueberry applesauce pie, jolly rancher blue, goose berry.
Light tannins with a strong, acidic backbone, much like a candidate running for an office..

Hazy purple glou-glou! Watermelon Jolly Rancher was the primary flavor, along with some strawberry, cherry, pomegranate, and just a hint of orange peel. A well-made wine that is easy to enjoy chilled or not. 100% Valdiguié. 3/12/23. — 4 years ago

The nose reveals; sour lemons, green apple skin, green apple Jolly Rancher, lime zest to candy, pineapple juice, underripe green melon, white peach, honeysuckle, some fresh, green herbs, white spices, cream, notes of melted butter, caramel notes, hints of vanillin, cream, some candle wax, steely flintiness, saline, sea fossils, powdery beautiful, chalkiness, limestone minerals, grey volcanics, fruit blossoms, spring flowers, jasmine & yellow florals.

The body is; a touch waxy, full, rich, round, lush & gorgeous. Great viscosity, tangy & sour lemons, green apple skin, green apple Jolly Rancher, lime zest to candy, pineapple juice, underripe green melon, white peach, honeysuckle, honeycombs, some fresh, green herbs, white spices, caramel notes, hints of vanillin, cream, steely, flintiness, white spices, mint, saline, sea fossils, powdery chalkiness, limestone minerals, grey volcanics, river stones, tree bark w/ just a touch of sap, fruit blossoms, spring flowers, jasmine & yellow florals. The acidity is like a rushing, fresh water Colorado river. The long; gorgeous, sexy, polished, elegant, finely balanced finish is excellent wire to wire and persists minutes.

Beautiful wine & vintage. It’s about 3-5 years away from 94 & has 10-15 years of good drinking ahead. Properly stored of course.

Quite good with Lamb Chopper harder white cheese & Rustic Bakery Rosemary & Olive Oil Organic Flatbread & the Jasper Hill Willoughby soft white cheese with the Firehook flatbread crackers.

Melted ass jolly rancher back on my bullshit wine. Like if ur 5 years old and u suddenly have a freaky Friday moment where ur old magically and u get some alcohol--would taste like this. Very, very down. Don't give AF if u call it rose or orange — 8 years ago

Juicy and interesting, deep blood orange citrusy taste but overwhelmingly candy-apple or candy-watermelon. Someone i was having a glass with compared to a jolly rancher — 8 years ago

N: Watermelon Jolly Rancher nose, some herbal qualities around the edges.
P: Watermelons, Strawberries, lil’ bit o’ cherry. Interesting Garnacha varietal, little bit of frizzante going in. Very light soil thing going on both nose and palate.
Highly refreshing. Interesting mouthfeel, not quite polished.
No added sulfites. The natty crowd should drink up. — 4 years ago

The San Pellegrino of wines? I love me some San Pelle so that’s complimentary. Massive, tart mineral streak right down the center. Tasty on a hot summer day with Thai inspired salad. — 8 years ago

2014. Delicious for a. “simple value pinot”. Cherry Jolly Rancher flavors but not at all cloying. Some nice smooth glycerin. I like everything I’ve had from De Ponte Cellars. — 8 years ago

This is a bottle that Vanessa was given by a former student who was apparently trying to clear out his cellar. Bottled on October 4, 2011, this is the best incarnation of Noel de Calabaza that I’ve ever had. Incredible balance, great secondary aromas, and a finish that lasts far longer than younger versions of this beer. Just goes to show how awesome JPs can become if you hide them away for a few years. — 8 years ago
