Manincor is such a great producer...have never had a bad wine from them. This perfects the art of subtle complexity. Goes from refrained tropical fruit to minerality and wet stones...always holding its reserve. Lovely wine and perfect for a summer evening. — 3 years ago
It held the balance for the spicy food at South Indian Restaurant Dosa in SF. This food is not easy to pair with, but this did superbly. — 7 years ago
Just celebrating Father’s Day with the 2017 vintage. Very nice! Citrus notes with some floral scents on the nose! — 8 years ago
Beautifully aromatic. Elderflower and lime-blossom come pouring out of the glass, lusciously fooling the nose that one is about to consume a sweet wine. But this Beauty is totally bone dry. Clean, refreshing and summery. — 10 years ago

Wild strawberry, bright cherry and tons of minerals. A touch out of balance with the abv. This needs time to coalesce. But not long. — 11 years ago

This wine really delivered for me. The beau wasn’t as enamored. Alpine spring in a bottle: apple blossom, honeysuckle, nectarine, golden apple, chamomile, Meyer lemon, fields of clover and sun-warmed pebbles/gravel. Bright, fresh but solidly built with a finish that goes on and on and on... — 7 years ago
Silky and smooth texture, nice balance of floral aroma and berry/nutty flavors. — 8 years ago
Fantastic bottle of wine from 2003. Perfectly aged. Violets on the nose with perfectly balance with a touch of astringency. Soft tannins and garnet colour. What a masterful wine. — 10 years ago

A nice European variant of SN, matured in large wood. Ripe lemons, some grass, a touch of grapes, lemon curd. The wood adds a bit of roundness, but the juicy acidity shines through, with a mineral streak in the long finish. An fine, elegant wine. — 8 years ago
A very cool blue fruit expression here with the inky lagrein blended with cab and merlot. I imagine the Merlot and Cab for flesh and body and touch of modernity. I was hoping for this to taste more rustic. Quite slick. Medium bodied. M+ finish. M+ acid. M tannins — 9 years ago
Delicious and refreshing. Maybe a little oak but the fruit is so bright. — 11 years ago

Beautifully pure with notes of ripe apple, peach and a hint of green herbs. The flavour is both juicy and refreshing, mild and rich. — 6 months ago
