I’ve kept this in our collection just chilling for 6 years. And ya know what…it was worth the wait. This isn’t anything special really but the time has brought out those “aged Riesling” qualities that I was hoping for. For $19 at bqe…it’s a good deal if you have the space to stash a bottle properly for more than just a few years. Nose: stretch Armstrong, GI Joe right out of the box, the McDonalds happy meal toy right after you rip open the plastic wrap. But also some sweet ripe citrus. Body/structure/palette: medium body, ripe peachy stone fruit boldness, that petrol is fuckin there but it’s not overwhelming. There’s some peach dum dums happening. Lingering mouth feel. Finish is pretty long with a hint of sour bitterness and candied yellow fruits. I need to do this with more Alsace Riesling and let it sit for 6+ years!! — a year ago

I’d been jonesing to try the Martha Stoumen collection for a long time. I’ve read plenty on her background - her training under Occhipinti at Cos and I love her thoughtful articulation of California terroir, natural wine, and Sicilian grapes.

This is fun bright sunshine at a meager 10%. The smell of oysters mid slurp - briny ocean and minerals. Flavors of sour lemon drop.

Took a chance on this unusual red from Loire: unique varietal composition & bottle format, but delicious nonetheless! Fairly dark inky richly extracted w/concentrated aromas of red fruit literally up & down the spectrum: tart cherry, cranberry, ripe bing cherry (and sour cherry), some raspberry couli all mingled with white pepper, clay & subtle vein of minerality. I found it very complex & engaging if a bit disjointed when looking at interplay of acidity & tannins... — 7 years ago

A full bodied cab that presents sharply on the tip of the tongue and dances backward along the center as your tongue curls inward forming a tunnel in a gratifying fashion. The tail does not disappoint as it stays leaving a lasting satisfying feeling. Sour notes of member berries lace the edges of the sconce with a petering of plumbus at the finish. — 8 years ago

Translucent Ruby red color and light plus bodied. Dry with nice acidity. Sour cherry and light mineral and pepper notes leading to a crisp juicy finish. An interesting blend of Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Negrette from the Western Loire Valley, France. — 9 years ago

Medium ruby in color; black cherries, black pepper,and woodsmoke on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like sour cherries, blackberry jam, and wet gravel with a long finish. I love it. After some time in the glass, I'm getting vanilla and plum aromas. I love it even more now. — 3 years ago

This wine has an alcohol percentage of 16,5%. Obviously it’s my favorise Romanian wine so far.

Preferably to be drunk while Anthony is looking at you in contempt, drinking his sour Pinot Noir. — 7 years ago

Really good merlot. Sour blueberry aroma. It started a bit harsh with heavy mineral flavors, but it was all gone when I poured my 2nd glass. Tart cherry, vanilla, pipe tobacco. Short finish, smooth leather tannins. I haven’t met a Coppola I didn’t like. — 7 years ago
