Lovely rose old vines blend 50% codega do Larihno, 30% rabigato, 20% viosihno. Unfiltered upper Douro schist soil terroir bleeds through. 6 months on Fr & Amer. Oak vanillin rounds out this open easy drinking profile. I had this with a watermelon arugula & feta salad with a light creamy herb dressing... wonderful! $15 — 9 years ago
Wow. This is a delicious sparkling wine. It's Pinot Meunier and it's delightful. We chose this as the in the limo, toast before we say "I Do" wine. The fact sheet reports that the Pinot Meunier grapes are manually harvested from a 35-yo vineyard in Champagne, FR. It's produced using a slow 16° alcoholic fermentation, without malolactic fermentation, filtering, and clarification, then it spends 4 years in the cellars. They also use thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. All of this contributes to a not-overly bready/cakey taste, which I do not generally like. This is a really special wine that I can't wait to celebrate with! — 4 years ago

An excellent SLH Pinot. Dark garnet in color, 14.7% ABV yet perfectly integrated. Sierra Mar is one of my favorite SLH vineyards and ROAR knows how to get the best expression fr these berries. Easily good for 3-5 years, perhaps more - has the tannins to go long. Let’s all get along. Cheers! — 4 years ago
