Wow, just gorgeous dark fruit, blackberry, blubeerry, plum, spice, integrated tannins, long finish, just a wow and so youthful at 9 years old

I last had a bottle of this wine two years ago and it is even better. It has a beautiful red color and an inviting nose of dark red fruits and black pepper. It has very smooth and integrated tannins and is very silky on the palate. There is dark red fruit including black cherry and blueberry, black pepper, garrique, olives and forest floor on the palate. Great minerality too. It is quite delicious.

a creaminess lingers on the finish, which is lenghty. ripe apple, maybe some pineapple, fresh grass on the nose. medium+ body, benefited from air time. less than $30 so a no-brainer for white bordeaux fans

Had at the winery during a tasting. Lovely wine. Great price point for what you are drinking. I could rate it higher after tasting again. I did buy four. But complex. Has finish. Depth. Good fruit but not sweet but balanced. Yup. Looking forward to this and seeing what I think again. Good to sip but should be good friendly.

deeply colored, ruby rim showing moderate + extraction. on the nose plenty of red and dark fruits, some herbal notes, moderate amount of baking spice from new oak. on the palate moderate + acids, a tight midpalate of moderate weight, firm but ripe tannins, moderate + alcohol. balanced wine with good length, plenty of intensity, very good complexity. wine has finesse, a firm texture, very good expression of place. low ripeness, fresh, tight, somewhat herbal napa cab... opened slowly in the decanter. nice wine you can drink now or hold, for 75 i'm not really sure how much value you are getting.

Nose: cherry, tomato leaf, oregano, rose petal, earth.

Palate: red and black cherry, tomato, black olive, balsamic. High acid, medium body, medium- tannin, medium length.

Good value! It reminded me a lot of Reniere's Brunello di Montalcino, but a good bit simpler. Drank on its own but I think it'd be a lot better suited to a meal with a fatty dish or two.

Had at the winery during a tasting. This is the best I’ve had of zero proof sparkling wine. Fruit. Some dark tones that are a bit off putting. But also bright. Have some friends who don’t drink alcohol to try it on. Could work in a mimosa fun to play

This wine remains consistent with a dark cherry, crimson colour and a fine nose of plum, dark cherry, blackberry and cassis with a touch of pepper and Christmas spices. The palate has excellent weight and a lovely sphere of complex fruits balanced by a line of fine persistent tannins that reinforce the poise and balance of this classic Australian Shiraz. After release from its Stelvin closure it clearly benefits from a good long decant to release the added complexities of ageing.

Subtle stone, gorgeous nose. Flavors of lemon and floral honey with just a little oak and butter on the finish. It is both lush and restrained at the same time. No secondary flavors yet, but it is fully integrated. Will wait 3-5 years for the next bottle to see what develops.

Loved it. Rich, creamy, well balanced with a great finish.
Tried this because I learned the Robert Lloyd was the guy from Rombauer. Tried it and loved it. Very good.

P: Dry, medium+ acidity. Medium- tannin, medium alcohol and body. Medium+ flavour intensity. Hibiscus, raspberry, cedar, and now earthiness. Medium finish.
AQ: Good.

Fresh and somewhat rustic, with a south American backbone. Reminds me of a Malbec/Cabernet blend even though I know is its mostly Merlot. The heat is shining through today and the wine shows hot and spazmatic. Almost too anxious to get attention...Drink or Hold_Still showing fresh.

Just a little thin on the palate. Great flavor of cherry, cassis, and old wood. The finish is the best part, and it lasts forever. Beautifully integrated tannins that you hardly notice. Perfect with grilled New York strip. You could live in the nose for days. It comes together so well. I just wanted a little more depth and fruit each sip. In a great place and no reason to wait longer.

Nose: flowers,

Needs more time to open. But good.

I’ll be back in 30 minutes after aeration

There is a lot of complexity going on but the tanins have left.

This is really really good but it needs some time.

Nice finish.

One a trip to Northern Rohone, a Spanish wine producer fell in love with a young beautiful creature from California. They married and after 7 years, gave birth to their daughter and named her Pintia. This is really a Northern Rhone vibe wine with that deep earthy backbone full of dark minerals, blood, and funk, with a deep, fruit laden sweetness that beings a long and dry throbbing finish. The tea like tannins make the wine dry, coarse, and thought evoking. One of the best Pintias I have tried so far, reminiscent of the 2014 with more terroir. Drink!

A pleasant surprise! An original Super Tuscan with herbal and cherry notes (the Pugnitello touch, perhaps) Not for over extracted Cabernet lovers (like Tignanello). The whole package for a third of the price. Enjoy!

Bottle #1 of 2. Medium-dark gold. Lots of marmalade. Oak doesn't seem quite integrated as there was a little too much dill. Very full body, medium (perceived) acidity, sweet, medium alcohol (14%).

Note: this has a DIAM 30 cork, so it should last until 2040.

Seeing this on the store shelf, thought it might have residual sweetness, but we gave it a chance. Really dark color. We get roses and mild green pepper plus other vegetation on the nose with some candied raspberry. The sweetness is also evident with the thicker viscosity. Does not have the taste of an acid intervention, nor do we find obvious oak chips . Not the worst California industrial cab.
