2/18/2024 - actx Likes this wine: 91 pointsSurprised by this wine. . .many of the DeNegoce wines I find are just "ok" but given the price point, fine. This wine was excellent. Noticed the light color (close to a pinot) and nice floral nose. Drinking was a full bodied, well appointed cab. |

6/19/2023 - actx Likes this wine: 94 pointsOne of my all time favorite wines. The 2017 did not disappoint. Deep purple color, cool menthol/mint on noise. Nice but muted tannins and a long finish. |

7/25/2022 - actx Likes this wine: 91 pointsI think this is an excellent (esp considering the price) example of a St. Emilion wine. Not sure why the negative scores but it is a solid 91. . .great nose/body, strong tannins that will soften with a decant. And at $13. . I have paid way more for less wine. |
