Honeyed and floral. Vanilla, saffron, mango and papaya on the palate. Still fairly fresh and mineral. Such a beautiful wine… — a month ago

Not acidic taste, but strong, one of french secrets. Great with soft cheese and by itself. Much better comparing to Chardonnay (at least American) — a month ago

Sipping Fine Wine

9.1

Blend of about 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and rest Mourvèdre, deep Ruby red color with aromas of red fruit flavors, spice and cedar. On the palate flavors of raspberry, tart cherry and plum with herb spice, cedar and pepper notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy oak. Nice! — 4 months ago

Sipping Fine Wine

8.9

Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some pan seared white fish. — 7 months ago

Spicy scent—like cinnamon?! Nice, drinkable, but little after-taste. I would buy again: $36 (on sale for $20) — 4 months ago

While I have great respect and appreciation for wines like these I simply don’t have the palate for them.

Iodine, beef blood, smoky BBQ. I’m sure this is lights out with a dry aged ribeye but a 2oz. pour is enough for me. Very reminiscent of the 1969 Colares I had a few months back. Properly stored. — 9 months ago
