割合不詳だがピノノワール、シラー、ビオニエの3種。
香りがかなり特徴的。ピノの香りにバラような華やかな香り。ここからして変化球感強めだが、飲んでみるとアルコール度数の低さからか割と甘めの果実味だが、スルスルと飲めてしまう。
香りや果実味のタッチからは意外性のあるスルスル感。
後味はシラーのスパイス感と花の香り。
すごく変化球感のあるテクニカルで、味わいも変化球感強いけど、何故か美味しい。今まで飲んだ中で1番不思議かも。 — 4 years ago

A great white from the northern region of Galicia, native grape. Straw color with wet stone and lemon curd on the nose. Good texture, medium bodied with balance and vibrancy. So cliche but so true: a great northern Spanish white. Drink while young! — 5 years ago

Single vineyard Cab Franc from Napa. Checks all the boxes… Medium ruby color. Boasting with dark fruit on the nose: blueberry, blackberry, black plum; wet tobacco and wet oak with hints of vanilla as well. On the palate the wine is dry, medium bodied, medium alcohol with velvety tannins and smooth acidity throughout and a decent finish. Great wine and amazing value from Napa. Likely to please any Cab lover… Cheers. — 10 months ago

Structured stuff. Lots of plum and cassis and boysenberry. Smell a little like green bell pepper and some cigars (cliche I know). Tannin smooths out with some open time. Also smells a bit hot. — 4 years ago

Dom - is it cliche? Hell no! This is as good as Rosé gets!! wonderful soft cherry and berry, spices, chalk - the autolytics are there but in the background so they don’t destroy the fruit or voluptuousness -ness - ness!! — 5 years ago

See previous. This wine, bought basically blind, delivers as the cliche says… way above it’s price point.
My post Covid mouth still is reductive, but the Sangiovese fruit comes singing through, wood too. Some cocoa on the nose, lots of iron/sanguine on the palate.
Refreshing acidity to boot.
Perfect with Tomatoes and cannellini bean pasta. — a year ago

Acquired in the Maucaillou tasting room in Bordeaux in 2008, then transported back to the states in a suitcase full of laundry, deposited in my cellar where it has remained until today.

Transparent and fresh. Almost pure ruby, showing only a smidge of bricking at the edges and not much age at all. Very pretty. Earthy nose of no. 2 pencil and old spices that gradually opens to red fruits. Maybe a cliche but this is on the Burgundian side of Bordeaux. So succulent; vibrating with red fruit and lively acids. — 4 years ago

joined a new 'wine club' that's supposed to send me surprise 'authentic' (not mass produced) wines that are 'for me'.
i started 🙈 tasting (my wife covered the label for me).

this was a cliche Bourgogne white. but a well made one. i half guessed it was bourgogne. but wasn't sure this is such an easy right guess. my other option was an oaked sa chenin blanc.

firm but mellow oak-ness, citrus and hints of stone fruit (apple and peach).

full body.
high acidity.

long 🎯

not my style but well made wine.

my wife supposedly didn't like it, but the bottle was empty before dinner was served. we halfed it very easily. — 5 years ago
