Excellent and paradigmatic Chardonnay. The nose is so fragrant and complex, filled with flowers and vanilla. The palette is complex with different flavors in the attack, middle, and finish. It starts with tropical fruit flavor (pineapple and lichee) , moves to vanilla and oak, and finishes with a sour flavor. A great wine. And under $40. — 7 days ago
Excellent Pinot Noir. Nice cherry flavor. Smooth and elegant. — 13 days ago
Made just to be strong and not to be good. This wine needs a lot of air: hours. It is so strong that it is unpleasant to drink. The finish is especially astringent with a bite that is hard to swallow, especially when first opened. After hours of air this astringency is significantly reduced but the resulting wine is one-dimensional. — 18 hours ago
Acceptable Bordeaux but not worth the price. At $48.50 this is no better than a $35 Bordeaux. Nice cherry flavor but no earth and no structure. — 10 days ago
An excellent value. For $31.50 a solid, brooding Merlot blend with deep black fruit flavors and tar. Is this an excellent Bordeaux? No. But it delivers true Bordeaux flavor appropriate for an everyday meal like a hamburger 🍔 or cheese. Worth buying for under $35. — 11 days ago
Somewhat grassy dry Semillon. Okay but most other Hunter Valley Semillons are better. — 5 days ago
Lovely and classic California Chardonnay with the usual oak and vanilla flavors. Not extraordinary but typical of the California oaky style and well-made. An extraordinary value below $25. — 5 days ago
Enjoyable orange sparkling wine that tastes like a lambic beer. Oxidative and yeasty like beer, with a nice orange fruit flavor. — 11 days ago
Very unusual wine, but it grew on me. This wine almost tastes like a lambic, with an oxidative flavor followed by a sour finish. It went well with Lavraki. — 14 days ago

Very strong but not very good. Strong and overwhelming attack followed by an acidic finish. No subtlety here. Not worth its high price. — 16 hours ago
