'Gargantua Pantagruel' Syrah 2018

The labels give no indication where the grapes are sourced (it’s an “American Syrah”), but I’m getting campfire embers and olive brine in the nose, musky lillies, and deep red berries under it all, so I’m guessing there is a fair amount of Walla Walla fruit in this. The palate is smooth, deep, and richly fruity, but completely avoids any jamminess. There’s lots of very fine-grained tannin, and the acids are nice. Love the low (13.2%) alcohol. Surprisingly good! — 10 months ago

Labié Red Blend

Big Italian blend, just like it was billed. Chewy, dark currant, slight bit of earth, had enough tannin to keep me interested. Nose and taste matched. Would drink again, Cal cab drinking friend loved it. SommS — 4 years ago

Soave Classico Garganega 2020

A classic Italian white named after the medieval village of Soave. The varietal is Gargantua which flourishes in the rolling vineyards surrounding the village of Soave.
This fragrant white has elegant hints of Myer Lemon and Passion Fruit. Finishing scents of spring grass and wild flowers with a great acidity and a dry saline finish.

A certain Garrafeira offers free delivery in Europe, so regular spurts are possible, if not a hose.
