Legit tasty wine here, tons of fruit, but also well expressed secondary layers including some magical spice & minerality. Med weight, sleek & balanced- this was just all around delicious & engaging. Handles its ABV very well - Bump for QPR — 8 months ago

Bellissimo! Found the ‘14 in the way back of the shelf and for $12 - felt pretty good about it… deep dark ruby w/copper highlight, stunning nose of cherry Jolly Rancher, vanilla, cassis, white pepper & moist Earth. Soft plush velvety on the mid palate, gorgeous, seamless brimming w/pure beam of cherry & raspberry, vanilla and hints of pepper & herbaceousness. Tannins were so finely grained, they blended & melded into the wine beautifully harmonizing with fresh, lively acidity . Bump for QPR — 3 years ago

such value. Producer stored it for you and doesn’t bump price. Some have had premox issies. I’m jinxing myself but so far so good. Super clean Chablis. — 10 months ago

Good stuff: prototypical CA chard but not overdone - well balanced oak influence and plenty of golden apple & citrus, some vanilla & minerality. Smooth mid weight clean refreshing & w/nicely integrated acidic backbone. Bump for QPR — a year ago

Creamy lemon, some dank umami-ness and thick mousse. Off the beaten path and great with a caviar bump — 2 years ago

@Lyle Fass thank you for this wine! Big, authentic intoxicating Medoc nose immediately upon opening w/Bing cherry, cassis, boysenberry and raspberry beautifully integrated with savory, bay leaf, mossy tree bark, mushroom, sweet damp Earth and vein of minerality. Seductive inky & opaque, mid to heavyweight, fluid luxurious mid palate with solid tannic structure clenching tightly on finish. Strutted w/roasted leg of lamb. Long life ahead - bump for QPR — 3 years ago

The 2022 Rosé Sancerre teases the senses with curry leaves and crushed rocks before revealing crushed nectarines. It's soft and round with a balancing core of saline minerals. Crisp white pit fruits give way to lemon oil notes. This finishes dry yet thoroughly fresh, with a chalk sensation nicely offset by a bump of residual acidity.

Cork was a goner. Nose is amazing- and changed with every bump. Better after 2 hours of bottle time. Still fruity. Price tag 😂 — a year ago

Bellissimo! This blew the doors off: inky w/gorgeous aromas of foresty woodland berries, darker fruit, spice, pepper, lavender & garrigue… intriguing beguiling. Med to lighter weight but wore it well with lip-smacking dark berries and warm spices on palate. Finish was a bit disjointed but I’d like to revisit in a year or 2. Bump for QPR — 2 years ago
