What a wine at 11 years! So much lemon, seagrass, peaches, a bit of stone, some lemon curd. It coats the palate. Interestingly it opened up with more fruit over 2 hours. It is so freaking good. It’s really like a fresh lemon tart with a tiny bit of cream and the crust with some orchard fruit and the at the ocean. Unbelievable. I loved this wine 8 years ago and love it more now. — a month ago

2024. This year’s nouveau wine from D&G is very similar to the last two vintages that we’ve enjoyed. Slightly tart cranberry and red berry flavors. Served chilled with chicken and sausage gumbo. — 9 months ago

2022. More complex aromas and flavors than most pet-nat that I’ve had. Pulled out of the beer fridge because I wanted an Averna Spritz before dinner. ~200 mL of Sparkling Wine for two spritzes means there was enough left to enjoy on its own. — a year ago

Wow. This wine delivered against wagyu strip steaks and then on its own

Great balance and deep fruit flavors. — 4 months ago

Very central otago - big dark brooding spicy nose. The palate is dominated by dark cherry and cedar spice. Decent grip of tannins. Good but not great for the px — 7 months ago

2022. Vineyard: Fenaughty & Lightner
Varietal: Counoise, Cinsault, Mourvédre, Grenache, Terret Noir. Light body, but lots of flavor. No funk, minimal tannins and enough acidity to pair great with sausage pasta and bagna cauda garlic bread. — 9 months ago

2022. The wine is now from the Fenaughty Ranch vineyard. Creamy apple upfront with nice acidity on the finish. Paired great with a local washed-rind cheese with apple and a burrata caprese salad. — 4 months ago

2021. We really enjoyed the 2022 vintage of this wine with kabobs a few months ago, so when I made an impromptu lunch of Reshmi-style Chicken, Chana Saag, and Raita, this wine paired great too! — 9 months ago

2022. We loved the 2019 Martha Stoumen Carignan we had this afternoon, so we wanted to try this D&G when we went looking for another bottle. A bit darker fruit flavor and earthier, and took ~15 minutes to open up. A little more tannic bite but paired equally well with leftover kebabs. — a year ago
