2nd day much nicer. I switched to a better “ real” glass as well. Most of the initial, fruit driven nose and palate has morphed into something darker, more graphite and pepper with that inimitable Viognier lift on the finish. The texture is very, very nice. Palate coating but never heavy. Excellent recommendation from @FassSelections. — 7 months ago

What a saga to get this delivered to me in NJ. Worth it. Love Andre Mack. Love his winery. Love this wine. — 4 years ago

Nose of cranberry, cherry candy, black pepper and mint(?). Bright and juicy on the palate with tart red fruits and a touch of spice. Good acidity and a kiss of tannins.

Just what the doctor ordered for a summertime red. Lovely stuff. — 5 years ago

Initially heavy on the tart cherry and cola flavors. Over an hour, the acidity mellowed and this became fuller — 6 years ago

The Vosne-esque Aux Thorey is showing beautifully at age 14, perfumed and seductive with excellent depth and concentration. It’s dark fruited, black tea and spice tinged and laced with minerality. In a great place. — 4 months ago

Combines a lot of wine profiles in this blend. Fruity without being overly sweet. Healthy amount of tannins. Reminds me of a Barbera d’asti maybe, but with a Syrah mouthfeel. Andre Mack knows what he is doing. — 4 years ago

Medium dar rubi robe. Nose of flowers, dark cherries and a hint of asian spices. Very long, medium bodied and complex in the mouth, this is outrageously good and oh so young. Great stuff. Our valentines diner :) — 5 months ago

Started soft and a little salty, opened beautifully to become sweeter, more tart and intense. Very nice experience. — 2 years ago
