I can imagine this being pretty marmite, but I can’t help but love how weird and wonderful it is. Rounded and funky. Definitely some stone fruit in there, but lots going on. Nectarines and honeysuckle. — 8 months ago

Roganic at home, lockdown 2022. Days feel dark and we need to find a positive where we can … delicious food, good wine (super easy to drink: velvety, acidic, substance yet light). Need to see if they sell at Baker and Bottleman. — 4 years ago

Petroleum on the nose. Not your typical NZ Sav Blac profile. The wine does not overwhelm you w grass and citrus. More balanced fruit and acids — a year ago

I don’t have a list in front of me but could swear Bouzy is GC for Pinot Noir...this thing sings 🍏 and I would never expect it was all red fruit. Insane racy acidity, zero dosage. Can you be both crazy complex and super straightforward at the same time? In the grand scheme of things this is great wine but I need 5 years. Probably just disgorged — 8 years ago

Brambly red berry fruits. High acid and untamed, a wild expression of #pinotnoir #nzwine — 10 years ago

Tonight's entertainment! Boysenberry, eucalyptus, pencil lead, dark chocolate, red berries, cherry, and pine needles! I believe this was under $15. The balance is nice for this price point. Rating reflects QPR. WE gave this a 91. Decanted for 90 minutes. — 2 years ago

Best red wine I've had! Jeannie said the same. Sweeter, so easy to drink. But not so sweet that Ben doesn't like it. Outstanding. — 4 years ago

Someone said natural. Think this is organic farming but I don’t think this is natural wine. Pierre Gauthier, almost 40 acres of Clay/Limestone Tufa in Benais outside of Bourgeuil. Probably just over $25-$30retail, $45-$60 on a wine list. Smoking good. The composite rating here is insanely low for the QPR. Everyone should be drinking these wines. This is a great wine in the grand scheme of things, it’s all about perspective. Entry level wine, the Jour de Soif has no oak, bright fruit, amazing green edge. There is a wet tobacco thing. Classic wine! Love it. — 7 years ago

A summer nose of lychee and pink grape fruit transitions beautifully to an off-dry palate with hints of tangerine and tropical fruit with very low acidity. Pairs well with spicy shrimp and leek pasta! — 8 years ago

With a classic jambon baguette sandwich it was perfect. Fresh acids, herbal but reserved nose, pretty long on the palate. Although I slightly preferred the new world example , Pyramid Valley Cab Franc Howell Family Vyd 2007. — 9 years ago
