When I first opened this I thought it was a bit thin. This sucker has woken up and it is amazing. I would chill this a bit next time but damn it is so good. Even has a bit or earthiness to go along with the cranberry fruit. — 2 years ago

Cloudy Bay

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Pale lemon with aromas of citrus and tropical fruit with floral notes. On the palate flavors of grapefruit, green apple and pear fruit flavors with some grassy tones, lively acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, herbal, floral, grassy and mineral notes. Lightly chill so you can experience all of the nuances while you sip this fine wine. — 3 years ago

Villa Wolf

Ernst Loosen Pfalz Pinot Noir Rosé 2020

Blind Date wine. Definitely effervescent; the screwcap popped off! Pale pink color. Strawberry aromas. High acid, round on the palate when drinking room temp (blind, and didn't know to chill it!!), strawberry flavors and lingering minerals. Thought a rosé of pinot noir and/or from a cold climate with all that acid! — 2 years ago

Domaine de la Chaponne

Morgon Gamay 2018

Ruby with aromas of red berry fruits, floral and spice notes. On the palate flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry with dried flower and baking spice. Fine soft tannins on medium(+) finish ending fruit character, ok to chill slightly before enjoying. Consistent. — 2 years ago

Martha Stoumen

Post Flirtation Zinfandel - Carignan Blend 2020

We’ve been eager to try this bottle from Martha Stoumen Wines after hearing so many wonderful reviews. 📝

We decided to pop and pair it with pesto pasta and grilled chicken, as we thought the vibrant, fruit-driven notes would complement the savory herbs and garlic flavors of the pesto. We also thought the flavor intensities would match up pretty well. It’s delicious! 🙌

This California wine has 54% Carignan and 46% Zinfandel, which were dry-farmed in Mendocino County and Oakley, respectively. 🍇 Martha Stoumen Wines pursues a low-intervention approach to farming the land and the resulting wines are known to be terroir-driven.

We gave this wine a slight chill before serving, which enhanced the freshness, and then enjoyed the evolution as the wine opened up. It is unfiltered and has a delicately hazy, pale purple appearance. 👁 This wine offers primary notes of black cherry, wild strawberry, pomegranate, violet, lavender, anise, also secondary notes of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. 👃 👄

We love the label art – it’s super joyful and beautiful! It was fun to learn that Martha Stoumen’s husband, Jon Patch, created this illustration and named it ‘post flirtation’ just after they had started dating. 💕💕
