What a wine at 11 years! So much lemon, seagrass, peaches, a bit of stone, some lemon curd. It coats the palate. Interestingly it opened up with more fruit over 2 hours. It is so freaking good. It’s really like a fresh lemon tart with a tiny bit of cream and the crust with some orchard fruit and the at the ocean. Unbelievable. I loved this wine 8 years ago and love it more now. — 2 months ago

2022. Vineyard: Fenaughty & Lightner
Varietal: Counoise, Cinsault, Mourvédre, Grenache, Terret Noir. Light body, but lots of flavor. No funk, minimal tannins and enough acidity to pair great with sausage pasta and bagna cauda garlic bread. — 10 months ago

2022. Weather was really encouraging rosé on the patio, so we were happy to oblige! Loads of chunky sediment that was easily kept in the bottle (kind of). Delicious pink grapefruit, strawberry, watermelon. Mouthwatering acidity, but balanced with the fruit. — 2 years ago

Wow. This wine delivered against wagyu strip steaks and then on its own

Great balance and deep fruit flavors. — 4 months ago

Very central otago - big dark brooding spicy nose. The palate is dominated by dark cherry and cedar spice. Decent grip of tannins. Good but not great for the px — 7 months ago

2022. We loved the 2019 Martha Stoumen Carignan we had this afternoon, so we wanted to try this D&G when we went looking for another bottle. A bit darker fruit flavor and earthier, and took ~15 minutes to open up. A little more tannic bite but paired equally well with leftover kebabs. — a year ago

2022. The wine is now from the Fenaughty Ranch vineyard. Creamy apple upfront with nice acidity on the finish. Paired great with a local washed-rind cheese with apple and a burrata caprese salad. — 5 months ago

2021. We really enjoyed the 2022 vintage of this wine with kabobs a few months ago, so when I made an impromptu lunch of Reshmi-style Chicken, Chana Saag, and Raita, this wine paired great too! — 10 months ago

2022. More complex aromas and flavors than most pet-nat that I’ve had. Pulled out of the beer fridge because I wanted an Averna Spritz before dinner. ~200 mL of Sparkling Wine for two spritzes means there was enough left to enjoy on its own. — a year ago
