What a saga to get this delivered to me in NJ. Worth it. Love Andre Mack. Love his winery. Love this wine. — 5 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
Pears, peaches, florals. Zippy.
Disgorged: 01/24 — 2 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. — 5 years ago
Stunning nose. Super floral with compelling violets and gorgeous deep red berry fruit. So pure and so deep. Some unreal leather on the very high toned nose. Just so aromatic. Juicy and so clean with unreal vivacity and generous fruit and wonderful suppleness. So pure and elegant. So energetic and well made. Just perfectly ripe tannins and insane freshness and energy. — 2 years ago
Lovely nose of ripe pear, honey, cake frosting. Pretty easy to sip - round, toasty, decent acidity, slight pleasant bitterness, fresh enough but age showing nicely. — 2 years ago
Floral and minerals. — 4 years ago
A little toward the semi-sweet but still a crispness and great lychee fruit throughout. — 5 years ago
Very good white wine. Doesn't have that artificial taste some whites do. — 5 years ago

100% Pinot Noir from Bouzy, aged 6y on the lees.
Red apple, pomelo, chalky, slightly smoky, with some brioche and green hazelnut. There’s a touch of red berries, too. And cardamon.
Great depth here. And purity!
On the palate this is quite powerful, with a nice creamy mouthfeel, tiny & persistent bubbles, fresh, zippy acidity. There’s power here and depth. Very vinous for a champagne, very food friendly.
But also quite hedonistic for a 100% Pinot Noir, which can sometimes be too austere.
A really, really lovely wine. Very elegant. — a month ago
