Really liked it. Deep red color, smells like grapes but well balanced. Sweet but not in a bad way. — 4 years ago

Sanlúcar de Barrameda was the port that Christopher Columbus set off from in 1492. Just 1 year earlier, duties on wine exports from Sanlúcar had been abolished to take advantage of English merchants desperate for new supply after the loss of Bordeaux.

It began a centuries-long romance between Sherry and English wine lovers, as immortalized in Shakespeare's Henry IV Part 2, when Falstaff glorifies sturdy Spanish 'sack' over thin Bordeaux 'claret' and Rhine 'hock'.

But the honeymoon, quite literally, was not to last. Henry VIII's divorce from Catherine of Aragon drove a wedge between England and Catholic Europe, and left English wine lovers in need of a new source once again. But Sherry fanatics wouldn't have to go entirely without. When Sir Francis Drake sailed into Cádiz and burned the Spanish fleet in 1587, he carried away 2,900 butts of Sherry - enough to supply London for years - as his most famous prize.

Badass in a glass. A monster which had to be tamed. 2 hours open and it's now evolving in the glass.

Decided to go to Ruth's Chris this evening for SF Restaurant Week and had this wine off their list. It was a nice surprise given I had never heard of it but how can you say no to Carignan! — 9 years ago

I have been a big Sonoma-Cutrer fan but this is good but pricey as I would reach for other Chards at that price point. Sir-lie aging for 10 months in French oak, pale lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate apple, peach & melon with lime citrus zest, spice and toasty caramel notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice lively acidity, ending with spice, fruit, citrus and mineral character. — 6 months ago

Pale lemon with stone fruit aromas & spicy floral tones. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach, with blossom and cinnamon spice, lively acidity supporting the oak and “sir lie” aging. Medium+ finish ending with vivid acidity and mineral tones. Very nice. — 4 years ago

What’s Durif? Loved the combo with Australian Shiraz. Red and blackberry and cherry with a touch of oak and smoke. This was quite the fruit bomb with mild tannins and medium body. Please sir. . . I want some more. — 5 months ago

Fantastic wine. Needs many years. Almost port like characteristics the next day. Tons of sediment. Incredible value. Check in 5 years again. This will make me revisit Nebbiolo again. Shared in La Paz Mexico with a friend. — 3 years ago

I was introduced to this wine by @Eric LeMasters - thank you, sir!
Lithe on the nose and palate, dominated by espresso. Laser-focused black cherries and tight tannins, give way to minerality and floral notes. Decadent, with an old-world style. Primo. — 7 years ago

Yes sir! One day opened and still a joy. These chaps know what's up with their vineyards. This is a tasty blend of Cab, Verdot, Merlot, and Syrah. Only 20% new oak. Smart. — 9 years ago
