Dope red, with a chill on it was very refreshing, fruity, light bodied. Type of red I love, didn’t taste super dark or overly earthy. Easy to drink, felt simple enough to enjoy w/o knowing much about wine’s. — 6 months ago

Not your uncle’s Pinot Grigio. Full bodied and luscious with ripe orchard fruit, minerals, and enough structure to keep evolving in the cellar. This was a fun left field bottle to share with wine geeks at thanksgiving. $40

Aromas of lycee, pineapple, and citron, strong minerality, wet stone, soft touch, balanced interplay of sweetness and acidity, very long finish. — 4 years ago
Served double-blind. The wine appears as a deep golden color. Medium+ viscosity. The nose is a fascinating combination of intense honey suckle, orange blossom, coriander, candied oranges, and candied nuts. The palate follows suit with more honey suckle, citrus blossom and a slight nutty characteristic. There is definitely some residual sugar here. There is really good acid keeping everything afloat. The finish is long and short of cloying. Really impressive texture. Based on the color and the somewhat oxidative notes, I figured this had at least 10-15 years of age on it. I vacillated between Sauternes and Riesling…ultimately calling Sauternes from Barsac (feeling as though this was more Semillon than Sauvignon Blanc). I chose, poorly. But the wine is good and it positively begs for spicy Asian food. — 3 years ago
