I expected this to be hot and clumsy. Don't know why, I just did. While concentrated, it was balanced with terrific fruit and savory flavor, acid bright and long, and a tasty finish filled with notes of smoke and black cherry. Nimble for 14.5% abv. Club choice at Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant. Retail $44. — 9 years ago

Another year, a new RM producer! An gorgeous, exuberant and lively Blanc de Blanc for José Dhondt (375ml). Preserved lemon, golden apple — fresh and baked — hazelnut and toasty brioche in abundance. That elusive balance of brightness and depth/richness….

En route home from the airport, I realized that I had no champagne awaiting me at home and risked a birthday passing without a glass (😱). Managed to swing by Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant on my way back to the East Bay 15 minutes before closing for this little gem. Well worth the 30 minute detour. — 2 years ago

Delicious bottle of wine, especially at this price. Great easily approachable black and dark red fruit, but with enough tannin and structure to keep it interesting. From The Wine Merchant at SF Ferry Building — 7 years ago

Thoroughly modern, medium bodied red blended from traditional Port varieties. The Touriga Nacional in particular gives the wine an aromatic profile that suggests violets. Currently a U.S. exclusive for Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant and Oxbow Cheese & Wine Merchant. — 9 years ago
