A powerful wine driven by Grenache grapes at a high elevation viticulture (over 1,200ft) by the Northwest exposure of Gigondas AOC a true name to its bottom label tag (Terror d’Exception) The Varietal composition; 90% Grenache noir, 10% Syrah.

This vigneron still does a manual selection of the ripest bunches followed by intense wine-making methods (fermenting during 1 month, while the grape skins are regularly soaked by the fermenting juice). Aging in French Oak for +24 months and the wine is cellared for 1 year in the bottle before its release.

V.2021 in this region was challenging enough, and this wine packs a high ABV at 15%, it bursts with fragrant licorice, blackberry and raspberry jam on the nose. The palate gets hit with chewing tannins, need to breath for 1 hours min as it has solid flavor concentration, very peppery, minty and quite complex. Definitely pivots more into a full-bodied, yet juicy style with a plausible and lingering finish.

A perfect companion for powerful dishes as beef stew, aged cheeses and cured hams. Cheers! — a year ago

Smokey, tobacco, raspberries, spice... Very well done big, complex and engaging Pinot Noir. Plums, some barnyard notes and quite a bit of fruit overall but with a decided oak finish.

Trump ought to resign but it will take the courts, Congress, the media and most of all the people to badger him and his frail ego until he bails out of his criminal reign of terror.

Wine helps us get through these days.

My recollection is that it wasn't inexpensive. — 9 years ago

Really stunning wine. Maybe best one ever and I have had everyone since 14. Nose is dripping with terror, deep forest, rain soaked moss, light sweet wood, burst of minerals and some green apple skins. But so stunningly pure. Palate is rich and ripe but so pure and juicy. Elegant and deep with a lovely opulence and wonderful freshness and lift. Impressive finish. Such an airy yet dense wine. Just glorious. — a year ago

"intense aromas and flavors, resulting from The grapes being stored and venified low temperatures. The fruit is of a unique Alentejan terror, this wine results from a careful selection of great varieties," — 3 years ago

The varietal is Baga, but says 94% white grapes. Unlike many natural wines I’ve had, this tastes more site specific & terror driven. Has a black fruit, Nebbiolo kinda thing going on. Serious tannins but integrated. Savio Soares Importer who else. Worth seeking out. — 6 years ago

Lots of fruit on the nose . Big black currents on the pallet . French wine that drinks like a California red . Would like a little more terror with it but other than that it drinks great — 9 years ago

This has done the business. Initial terror at a loose Cork did not translate into spoiled juice. Black fruits and cloves still there but a lovely evolving pronounced mushroom tertiary in the mix. — 2 years ago

Veneto - 100% Sauvignon Blanc. Mineral driven Italian SB, but yet still has a bit of the NZ grassy nose to it. Not a new world floral SB. Nice balance between the acid, fruit and terror. Nice change of pace for those looking to explore the global SB offerings — 3 years ago

Wow has this aged nicely. The fruits is settling down and the terror is really coming thru. The depth and complexity are quite beautiful. As to the 15%+ alcohol it is not noted on the nose or palate. Surprisingly no heat at all.

Isn't it nice when you go to the grocery store and you see this vintage on the shelf? So drinkable, so terror driven. Minerality and salinity all day long... — 9 years ago

Interesting that it took time to open up after 12 years on its side. Great nose is the first impression . Good tannins and terror with leather and vanilla. — 10 years ago
