Juicy black fruits & funky love; roasted nuts & coffee came through nicely. Good value for a toast at home!

Really lovely wine. Rich but elegant overtones of black earth-terroir driven with black plum elements. This wine with a great Boudin. Noir would be wonderful. Balanced and accessible. Good value. Buy

Plums, Mocha, smoke. Rich and velvety, perfect with a rib eye!

Soft and creamy with flavors of ganache-covered cherries.

Ripe understated blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, black plum, dried red flowers, touch of baking spices, soft wet black earth, suede leather, dry stone, good soft minerals and a nice dry but fruity finish.

Showed loads of oak even at this stage. The fruit was appley and gone but the tannic structure was still present. Probably should've been consumed 5 years ago.

Tasteless Bordeaux just tasting of alcohol and acid. This review is for the Kosher version.
