Beautiful rose. Very classic, love the avid level. Considerably less expensive than some other Provence Rose wines but you really can’t tell a difference in quality. — 8 years ago

Ruby red in color with brown tinge around the rim. Medium bodied ...very smooth..integrated..cherry..milk chocolate..slight earthiness..leather..delicious wine from Sardinia! Would have liked to try this 2 years previous. 2006 Vintage.

I wanted to add an update. I vacuum pumped the leftovers of this wine...and waited three days..upon opening I noticed first that the overall color was more brownish...also as I swirled there was a small particle matter around the glass....My 1st thought was...this wine is bad....but it smelled so wonderful..intoxicating in fact...and the taste was so wonderful after 30 minutes of aeration ...twice the wine I had experienced upon opening!! So this experience is new to me (being an avid wine enthusiasts yet still learning) sooo....if anyone has,any insights for me I would appreciate it....was maybe the wine unfiltered??? — 9 years ago

Beautiful Garnet color. Ripe British strawberries, raspberry, vanilla, and fig preserve. Medium bodied with a faint sweetness. Finish is long for a Pinot Noir with a little heat and medium tannins. After being open in the bottle for two weeks, this wine turned from good to amazing. Definitely will decant for an hour or two next time. — 3 years ago

Chartreuse pale. Zest of lemon with sweet round melon flavors. Needs a bit more avid for structure but goes well with grilled octopus. — 5 years ago

Tonight we are enjoying some wine from the island of Sicily. A 2012 Puritani Etna Rosso from Azienda Valenti Vini 🍷 The #nerellomascalese grapes from this bottle were planted in 2004. As a literature lover I must share th story behind the bottle's name: 'The father-son team of Giovanni and Alessandro Valenti have embarked upon
the journey to produce the very best
wines from their homeland of Mount Etna
in Sicily. Being avid lovers of literature and
music, the names of their wines reflect
this passion. Enrico IV, Henry IV (Enrico
IV) is an Italian play by Luigi Pirandello;
Puritani – I puritani (The Puritans) is an
opera in three acts by Vincenzo Bellini;
Norma is an opera in two acts by
Vincenzo Bellini. Poesia is Poetry in Italian.' Cheers to Italy! 🇮🇹 — 6 years ago

Absolutely stunning. This release/vintage has a lot of life left in it. I cannot wait to drink my other cellared bottle in ten years. Fresh yellow and white orchard fruits, young creamy Brie cheese, multiple layers of texture and minerality. I will literally FIGHT to continue buying upcoming vintages of Romain Guiberteau’s releases, with avid search for his small release Cabernet francs from Saumur; even Grolleaus, with fingers crossed that they will stay so affordable. Wait and see, his release prices are going to quickly climb in the coming years. — 6 years ago

Tropical fruit, ocean spray nose. Bright fruit, mineral mid palate, and an acidic over ripe fruit finish. Gets bonus points for QPR and being different. Also, as an avid head, for the bright acidity. — 8 years ago

Sheer delight, what wonders this country has to offer in food and wine! Perfumed nose with violet and dry rose petal, palate of blackcurrant, dark plum, graphite, present tannins and lively avid, long finish redolent of prunes. Could stand up to any excellent right bank bordeaux and at an outstanding price — 9 years ago

I loved this Chardonnay when I first tasted it and I love it now! The aroma is chalk full of classic tropical richness, but with the vein of minerality that I think is so lovely and apparent in Willamette valley chardonnays. Palate texture is weighty from the ML, but the avid is apparent and juicy at the back. Overall balanced and delightful all around. Tony does great work. Happy Valentines! — 9 years ago

16' has proven to be a rather backward vintage at this stage, so pair that with what's usually the most linear of the Keller vineyards, and you've got a wine that would challenge even the most avid of Riesling fans. Expectedly grand in its weight and just overtly mineral, with the fruit almost completely disappearing into the background. And as always, smells like the vineyard - the herbs and topsoil. It's just pure rock energy here. May well outlive all of us. — 4 years ago

500 Chevaux is an automobile racing term; French for “500 horsepower.” Nellcôte founder and vintner Tyler Olbres is an avid car-racing fan, and has himself driven in the Monaco Rallye for Classic Cars. This wine is a high-horsepower Cabernet, meant to be sleek, powerful, and fully able to go the distance.
LAST BOTTLE Notes,

Nellcote was an uber-pricey luxury Cab that recently closed its doors, and, after extensive tasting through all the brilliant, incredibly fine-tuned Cabernets early last year, that none other than Phillip Titus (yep, THAT Phillip Titus, the legend behind CHAPPELLET and others!) made,

It's been a while since I last used Delectable mainly because I haven't been drinking much (thanks for the kind reminder @Delectable Wine). The whole COVID situation has made it a whole lot harder to find good wines, especially in my hometown. Fortunately, we stumbled upon a list at a restaurant whose owner happens to be an avid wine lover too. While we definitely had to pay a premium for this bottle, it was so good to finally drink a well-stored red in the tropics, and a favourite producer at that.

Typical Duroche elegance, marked with distinct village characters and the vintage's fruity exuberance. The nose is ripe and generous, with fresh black cherries, crushed strawberries, pretty lavender charm, and a touch of earth. A whiff of volatile acidity seems to lift the fruit here. The palate follows with plush and supple texture, darker fruits taking centre stage, some warm spices, and a snappy finish. Expected a little more mineral crunch and a redder fruit profile, but this was still so easy to drink. Transparent and pure. Definitely qualifies as a red kabi. — 6 years ago

2014 from john# beautiful. To the nose a bit of raspberry and spice. To the tongue raspberry and coffee. Long finish, not too avid and not too much tannins.
It is as every Pinot noir should be. Not rich, went well with a fatty dish like Marsala. — 9 years ago

Great nose. Wonderful food wine. High & balanced acidity. Dried, tart citrus. White flowers and plenty of minerality. Extended lees aging gives this simple, yet elegant wine, great mouthfeel.

Whether you're a newbie or an avid oenophile, Kermit Lynch wines are always solid picks. True to their terroir, they always delight. — 9 years ago
