Community Tasting Notes (average 89.6 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 31 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Mr. Montrachet on 4/22/2024 & rated 85 points: Out of balance. Arkward. Disjointed. (246 views)
 Tasted by David J Cooper on 4/13/2024 & rated 92 points: Light yellow. Great nose, lots of green apple, pine nuts, wet stone and lemon. Delicious dry mineral, lemon and apple flavour and a great fresh finish.

I love this. Great QPR. The only downside is the bottle. It ways just over 32 oz empty. (290 views)
 Tasted by AlfrdGrz on 2/9/2024 & rated 89 points: Nice color, super green apple and citrus flavor, low acidity. (582 views)
 Tasted by Ridgerunner on 12/30/2023 & rated 92 points: An Italian white blend of Chardonnay, Fiano and wild Muscatel... this is an extremely subtle and yet seductive wine that pairs marvelously with lake fish and seafood. (685 views)
 Tasted by Portland Seth on 12/20/2023 & rated 89 points: White peach, pineapple, lemon, glycerin and subtle wax. Nice mouth feel but not enough acidity for me, tastes a little too flabby. The bottle is ridiculously heavy and the highly touted 99 pt. rating is from Luca Maroni, who no one should listen to ever. (764 views)
 Tasted by Bostonwino28 on 12/18/2023: Red apple and juicy yellow pear, vanilla, white flowers. Who rated this 99 pts? Very delicious fresh and pure but not on the level I thought it would be. Won’t buy again but pleasantly quaffable. (682 views)
 Tasted by henrijanssen on 12/7/2023 & rated 89 points: perzik citrus vanille peer (721 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 10/30/2023 & rated 90 points: White peach with a touch of sweetness. Some nice balancing tang. Not too complex but goes down nicely. (747 views)
 Tasted by wirelesswine on 10/29/2023 & rated 89 points: Ignore the 99 point sticker on the obnoxiously large and heavy bottle.
Inside is some interesting juice...a blend that definitely works well. Lots of pear with some light citrus. Med acid and length. Cool blend. (629 views)
 Tasted by henrijanssen on 8/29/2023 & rated 89 points: citrus perzik boter vol van smaak (992 views)
 Tasted by SGates on 8/27/2023 & rated 90 points: Golden yellow. Leads with chardonnay notes. Lemon, peach and vanilla. Nice acidity on the finish. (796 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 8/27/2023 & rated 88 points: Tasted after 50 minutes of air. Tangy citrus fruit. Just a bit of sweetness. A touch of lime. Not too complex. Not as good as the last bottle. (660 views)
 Tasted by Ridgerunner on 6/29/2023 & rated 92 points: fascinating blend of chardonnay, fiano, and muscatel. This blend works quite well, and is terrific with swordfish. (969 views)
 Tasted by Supercuts on 6/13/2023: I concur with preceding notes. A nice get from Garagiste. A tasty chard base with a bit of a wildcard element - including some fruit, and i thought a bit of earth as well - from the blend. Glad I got 2. (1029 views)
 Tasted by Brian Glas on 6/12/2023 & rated 92 points: The bottle claims this got 99 points. Um no. Maybe they got Pinot Paul to review. Tasted after 20 minutes of air. Starting to open. Lively apple and pear fruit. Good cut and delineation. Some nice rich fruit here. Interesting tang on the mid palate. Finishes clean with a hint of mineral. (651 views)
 Tasted by dlu on 4/24/2023: Interesting blend of Chard (60%), Fiano (20%) , and Wild Muscatel.(20%). Chard characteristics to the fore (including a decent amount of oak), but the secondary varietals add texture and an alluring sweet tropical fruit aspect. Really great match for MC's tuna/corn/tomatoes/brown butter and other spice-infused rich fatty fish. Mystery deal from our friend in the northwest, and one of the better values I've seen recently from that source. (1230 views)
 Tasted by B-j-h on 4/21/2023 & rated 91 points: Full bodied, slight buttery hint (but not at all overpowering), a bit of floral notes. Very good wine. (965 views)
 Tasted by jayw on 4/21/2023: Interesting, complex flavor profile. Buttery oak, lush tropical fruit, wax, and floral notes, marred by a bitter finish. Medium body with a bit too much heat. Maybe needs more time to integrate. Less bitter, but still very flavorful on day 2. (1094 views)
 Tasted by shormi on 4/5/2023: Charlottes (1073 views)
 Tasted by melzar on 3/16/2023 & rated 89 points: Tastes very fresh for a warm climate white. Chardonnay based wine with some local varietals added. Very complex for an inexpensive wine. Well balanced and an exceptional value. (1098 views)
 Tasted by Vandelaar on 3/2/2023 & rated 89 points: quality wine with a generous array of ripe tropical fruits. An aromatic twist that reminds me of Viognier southern France with peach and apricot. some minerals and a decent acidity.
unfortunately the 13,5% shows and undermines that complexity with a burny bitter heat. Too bad because all the other raw materials were lined up to be an excellenct wine. so be aware: a bit boozy (803 views)
 Tasted by mks83 on 11/20/2022 & rated 90 points: Pastel yellow/ golden color. Nose - ripe pineapple (fresh and cooked), orange blossom, lemon, jasmine, honeysuckle. Full and waxy in mouth, a touch of sweetness, and orange-juicy acidity and bitterness. Dense and juicy attack, get fuller in the middle, fades seamlessly like drinking tropical fruit juice. Medium+finish. 90-91. (705 views)

Cantine San Marzano

Producer website

San Marzano is a small village in the centre of the Primitivo di Manduria DOC region, a strip of land kissed by the two seas of the Salento: the Ionian and the Adriatic. In 1962 the DOC appellation did not yet exist. Even so, 19 winemakers came together to follow a dream and founded Cantine San Marzano. However, it wasn't until 1996 and the introduction of a new bottling plant that San Marzano wines could move from commodity to brand. With the growth of the brand and company, San Marzano set themselves a goal: 'To make a wine just like the one our fathers did and make it original and contemporary.' This was to be the Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOP, one of the iconic labels of the company, and one which embodies the essence of the San Marzano philosophy. Today the collective continues to flourish with the aquisition of new vineyards and opportunities to explore.
