What stories do ancient mountains and their caves tell? Stories of beginnings. It’s hard not to be inspired drinking one of the world’s most ancient grape varieties made in one of the places that winemaking began. And when made with such grace, so much the better. Blackberry and licorice, plum and a touch of dark earth, with lingering notes of candied fennel seeds in the finish. Gorgeous acidity and a finely textured skein of tannins. Armenia’s going through a hard time right now. I salute the resilience of her people. — 4 years ago

Top-pick value for money. Great blend (ideal combo for Chardonnay wine-lovers that also want that great specific Portuguese Alentejano touch). 2019 is very refined & balanced. — 2 years ago

Clean, airy, and light; it almost tastes like a savignon blanc, but here in the heat of Brazil tastes can be deceiving. Aged in oak in cool, dark caves after being harvested in the heat, can taste olive, pomegranate, and walnut in this very nice wine. — 5 years ago

Excellent wine, but you have to let it breathe for at least 30 minutes or so. Once you do you’ll enjoy complex, full and long flavor, with a beautiful oaky bite. Earthy and dry, but not overly so. From Wine Insiders. Tasted 2 December 2022. — 2 years ago

What to do when the amount of Coronavirus cases keeps increasing in California. Start the night off with a glass of one of our favorite N/V Rosé Champanges.

All my numerous notes still apply!

Stay infection free folks! Cheers! 🍾🥂

Check out the chalk all over their caves!!! — 5 years ago
