Smells of carmalized almonds.

Dried cherry, persimmon, anise, medium bodied and well made. Perfect time for cork popping, this is ready to drink and drinking well.
Lingering dried dark fruits, slight acidity, and just a chino or two of tannin. — 4 years ago

A little…waxy? Coats the tongue without being tannic. Bit of green persimmon and buttery fruit. It’s an interesting wine. — 4 years ago

Robinot. Madman de Loire. He doesn’t rush anything. He makes wines you haven’t tried before.

L’Opera Des Vins is a mixed bag of Pineau d’Anuis and Chenin in Pet Nat form.

Pours a beautiful bright orange creamsicle. Tiny bubbles, lots of them. Deep yeast driven fruity notes of blood oranges, persimmon, Ceylon cinnamon, and coriander.

It’s hard to tell if this is truly off dry or truly fruity. Or both.

As special and interesting as any Pet Nat I’ve ever tried. — 6 years ago

Red gold body with a Matisse sketched white ring and merengue peaked, sheet-lacing. Clean citrus nose exhibiting clementine and dried pineapple, Meyer lemon and a faint funky-persimmon and lotus. There is something pleasant about the naturalness of the aromatics here with dried lemon verbena and Calloway seed. Orange and tangerine eclipse the lemon on the palate and add sweet grapefruit, and a clove note that tightly binds the whole. The bitterness being mitigated by the maple was brilliant here! Makes the Dogfish 90 seem clunky in comparison. I am a fan of this manifestation. Careful crafting and a simple solution to tune aggressive hops. There is no maple flavor btw. .

Unexpected and glorious Australian expression of this classic varietal. Skin contact and amphora-aged, this is a wine of personality - orange rind, persimmon, kumquat, anise, yellow blossom, with enough texture to blend seamlessly with food and accent it. Delightful with endive-romesco-persimmon salad and black bass with anise broth and shelling beans — 8 years ago

This was opened and we enjoyed a few glasses before recorking and reapproaching 24 hours later, at which point it was really singing. Yellow peach, pear and medley of orchard fruit, layered with pressed yellow flowers, dried persimmon, and notes of vanilla and bourbon. So delicate. Such fine bubbles. Saltwater taffy and some caramel and rock salt on the palate. Subtle tannic echo. Mesmerizing. — 3 years ago

Tasted melon/Asian pear (notes said persimmon), more complex minerality, pairs well with cheese and food. — 4 years ago

Popped and poured. The 2019 Amador County is energy in a bottle. Deep straw bordering light golden color. Medium viscosity. Medium+ intensity. Generous fruit with bright notes of yellow apple, quince, passion fruit, white flowers, ginger, and persimmon. On the palate, the wine is dry with ripping acid. Confirmed the tart yellow apples which are joined by San Pellegrino-like minerals and lanolin. A wine of lovely texture. The finish is long and immensely satisfying. This is my favorite Sandlands Chenin to-date; checking off so many boxes. — 5 years ago

Not something I would usually go far, but I really loved this. It is lightly sweet with notes of rose, strawberry, persimmon, and crushed grass. Really tasty with a roast chicken dinner. — 6 years ago

Beautiful, even better with the seared foie and persimmon. Honey and flowers in the nose. Rich honey caramel, tons of orange brininess in mouth. Seamless finish..orange all day long. Crazy good — 4 years ago

A perfume. All the better wines have a perfume in 2022. Persimmon. grapefruit, cardamom, clove, spice. Herbals. Stunning. Ripe but juuuuust ripe. That is a winner. 9.7 nose. Wow. acidity. Just an exciting vintage and what depth. Good dry extract. Long and so elegant. Edgy wine. Gorgeous and so pure. Such energy. So long. Stunning. Light and yet so dense. Really nothing like it. — 4 years ago

Feelings like it’s fading. Not as vivid as in the past. But still incredibly smooth and with some interesting notes - green apple and a bit of citrus, but also some almond and persimmon. — 5 years ago

80% Grenache, 20% Syrah

Nice wine brand to explore. In the voice of Pauly Shore “astrological... buddy”.

Needs 3 hr decant (journey along the way was very interesting, with lots of plot twists, and interesting views).

Nice fruit level, red and dark berry, black plum, persimmon (?mushiness on the tip of tounge?), rocks, cement, bitter, medium tannin.

Im down, eager to explore more of the portfolio. Very nice CDR. — 6 years ago

What a nose. Persimmon, melon, ripe and balanced, so pure and so clean, not crazy acid but it’s so balanced it doesn’t matter: so pure. — 8 years ago
