This vintage was fantastic. Nicely balanced. Right amount of pepper. Very much an underrated winery. — 7 years ago
Excellent wine for the price tag. Not very complex but still a nice house or table wine. Red fruit and pepper aromas and also the first flavors initially on the palate. Not much on the finish except for tannins and acid. — 8 years ago
Partly aged in oak gives it a subtle flavor, though the bouquet is unimpressive # — 5 months ago
Drank for 2024 anniversary alongside 2015. Very dry still, could have aged longer still. Nice fruit, cherry, berries. Very tasty. Might grab another. — 2 years ago

Capsicum, peppercorns, and cedar. Silky red fruits. A blind taster’s dream Chinon. Always good, but a stunning value in great vintages. Happy to have half a case of this. — 6 years ago
Had another bottle, aged well. Steve & Paula Black pursued a dream in 2003 and purchased a 110-acre vineyard located in the Red Hills of Dundee creating The Four Graces, named after their four daughters. Medium Ruby with surprisingly complex aromas of red fruits, herb and spice. On the palate cherry and raspberry flavors with tea and espresso notes adding a bit of pepper spice. Well balanced acidity with fine tannins, medium(+) length, ending with earthy notes. Nice value! Tasting Sample! — 6 years ago
One of my favorite red blends! So smooth and tasty😊 — 8 years ago
In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make Italian wines from the heart of Tuscany. Medium Ruby red color with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice, blend of 80% Sangiovese with rest Merlot and Cab Sauv. On the palate flavors of black cherry and plum with tobacco, pepper and earthy cedar notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. Consistent quality, a Fav!! — 7 months ago
A most classic of vintages for the wine. A dream glass for a lover of complex Rhône wines — 3 years ago
Began as a dream of 2 friends, Ed Selyem & Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, CA, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. Deep Ruby red with aromas of berry fruits with citrus spice. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry & raspberry, cacao, with notes of vanilla and spice. Elegant fine tannins, long finish, lively acidity ending with fruit and sweet spice notes. Pricey but will not disappoint, worth a try! — 4 years ago
Juicy delicious relatively complex red with almost no tannin — 6 years ago
