It tastes like Jessica Rabbits shitbox, I’m hiding a semi in an open plan restaurant. THANKS Dirupi for your tremendous wine, it’s really helped my social anxiety! — 10 months ago

MAGNUM! This is an unique blend of all the permitted grapes in Chateauneuf (red and white), named after Rudi’s grandfather, that plays well above its humble Vin de Pays du Gard, complex, rich, structured, needs 5+ more years, great wine!!

(Disclosure — Rudi is a friend through my brother, who imports his wines, but the front label shows the 12th Century chateau on the Rhône across from Chateauneuf, just south of the Lirac appellation!!) — 2 years ago

Negrette, cab franc, misc blend. Long carbonic maceration. Good grip and tension, with appealing reductive notes. Drinks like Hervé Souhat Syrah/gamay.

Winner of the night from the Legend Imports wine dinner at Peasant featuring a variety of beautiful wines from Australia that are not mollydooker penfolds or yellowtail.

This wine was described as Australian Montrachet and boy was that right. Anyone tasting blind would’ve picked burgundy.

Delicious. — 2 years ago

Freaking nice! Kind of expensive but god it’s well made. Nice selection north Berkeley imports. Warm baking spices, yellow apple and citrus blossom on the nose. Lots of precision on the palate — 2 years ago

I bought several bottles and opened this last one about 3 years later. Nice aromas of green and stone fruits with a citrus notes. The palate shows apple, peach and pear, still crisp with good balance, fresh and lively. The finish shows nutty earthy tones. I met with the distributor, Pasternak Wine Imports a while ago who indicated this wine can be enjoyed now, but put it down for a few years, the age will benefit the wine greatly, he was right! — 4 years ago
