The 2020 Bellegrave is well-defined and poised on the nose, blackberry and briary, hints of truffle unfolding with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a graphite-infused entry. Quite solid and structured, almost like a "mini-Lafleur", with a well-defined and persistent finish that has splendid mineralité. Very fine. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2023) — a year ago

A mini verticals of Merryvale Napa cab. First up is the 13’ from magnum.
A superlative vintage. Ripe fruits, spectacular acidity, and firm tannins. Taste very fresh. Built for the long haul. This will take take another 5 years to fully develop. — 3 years ago

2024 winter. Red berry fruit, some flowers, a charred earth streak - more mini-Barbaresco than easy drinker — 5 months ago

At Mini India for the first time. Really liked the food…this wasn’t the lowest cost wine on the list. We went for a mid priced wine (15.9€) and found it to be a delightful experience. Would definitely have this one again, especially at this price point. — a year ago

When in Portugal drink Anselmo Mendes… from the local mini mart…so savory, tart, & begging for food…a few digestif biscuits & some local goat cheese, this sings. Medium bodied, & so not for the faint of heart. — 2 years ago
