In a word this wine is “intense”! It’s full bodied and high octane with ripe, juicy red and black fruit (red and black plum, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, mulberry), black licorice, earth, meat, leather, and sweet baking spice notes.
The medium acidity and deep concentration of aromas and flavors bring balance to the high alcohol (15.5% ABV); the tannins are smooth and supple. It has a lingering finish. — 3 months ago
Molto buono, il nostra favarito. Costco fa un buono lavoro. E' 20 dollari, sarebbe impossible di solito. Prendi quando la trovi a Conosco. — 3 months ago
A classical, and more regional-driven Burgundian 100% Pinot Noir. Enticing sharp red cherry color, red fruity aromas with rounded acidity, so typical from Burgundy’s soil of clay-limestone based. Since it combines grapes sourcing from village to village with different terroirs selected to enhance an elegant expression of Pinot Noir, this one still keeps the Ropiteau’s house style. It is definitely an excellent region representation at an excellent price point. Cheers! — 9 days ago
Smooth and easy drinking with cherry notes. Still good after a night. Great value for $5.99 — 2 months ago
Founded in 1982 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer and sits on a tree covered knoll overlooking the Napa Valley, with caves that extend for over a mile. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and tropical fruit, sweet oak, spice and floral scents. On the palate flavors of ripe peach, melon and apple, with vanilla spice, creamy texture. Medium+ finish, well balanced with acidity, ending with mineral notes. — 2 months ago
Crisp, fresh, hints of sweetness but loads of acidity and minerality. Really good. — 21 days ago

It had a weird texture to it and nothing memorable. Another one that is overpriced. — 3 months ago
"Odedi"
Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Red fruits on the nose with light oak, spices, earth, garrigue and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, black cherries, spices, tobacco leaf, dark chocolates, earth and black pepper.
Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 9 year old Grenache blend from Southern Rhone is drinking beautifully now. Powerful, yet elegant. Fruity, rich and smooth.
Still feels very young, and more fruit forward than I expected it to be. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and interesting.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime. Spicy and entertaining.
This 2016 vintage in the Southern Rhône was exceptional. Will continue to age beautifully over the next 10 years.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
A blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah.
