Quite suave with it’s elegant texture and fine tannin, but there’s a rustic edge that breaks up the ripeness and adds dimension. Found the alcohol very balanced. — 10 months ago
From a 375ml.
PnP a bit tight, but luxurious dark fruits,
tannins prevalent but chewy.
Lots of Blue/Black fruit and muddy gravel. Loamy, calls for protein.
Some comments said this was drying. I get that, but not to the point of being unpleasant. Chasing LdH ‘04 is a tough act to follow. This previously garage wine 90-10 Merlot/Cab Franc definitely treads the blacker, more treacly edge.
Not heavy, but black. — a year ago
Dark fruit and allspice in the nose. Dark fruit, especially black cherries and currents with a hint of nutmeg. This is a really good Grenache. We are trying it as part of a Grenache tasting of one from Napa, Oregon, France and Spain. — 3 months ago
It us really nice. Beautiful finish. Pleasantly surprised since there was only one Marlborough selection on the menu. Will look for this in the stores. — 8 months ago
Course 3 wine. With chicken, prosciutto and house made pasta. Delightful unusual blend. — 10 months ago
Very light bodied, don’t like the smell — 8 months ago
