Drinking well but not as full bodied as I had expected.

3/27/2024 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Very subtle flavors without the very strong citrus of a New Zealand SB.

2/23/2024 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Definitely ready to drink. Dark purple. A melange of flavors that I am not skilled enough to describe.

2/22/2024 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Pale color. Quite dry. Pleasant.

1/27/2024 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Perhaps I let this go too long. It was good but not as good as I remember for past wines. But it did pair well with pan seared rockfish. Drink up if you have it

Although I like the fruitiness of a good zin or Primitivo, this one was a bit too fruity. And surprised an organic wine had sulfites.

1/21/2024 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Fragrant, crisp, but it overiy. Paired well with a blintz soufflé.

12/30/2023 - RMapou Does not like this wine:

Too much of a fruit bomb for my taste. No subtlety.

12/28/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Pleasant low alcohol for a red but with big flavor of cherry. Paired with a veggie flatbread.

12/24/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

A little less full bodied than I had expected but still good.

This appears to be a natural wine (Ingredients: grapes, yeast, and oak), although it is not labeled as such. On the label, it is described as "Lush and Fruity," which I expect a good zin to be, but I found it rather thin and tart. Unlikely to buy this again.

Refreshing, citrusy, tasty.

12/4/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Decent but on the edge. Drink up!

11/22/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Good fruit and complexity. Seems to be at its peak.

11/18/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Citrusy and fizzy. Good for what it is. Paired with Maryland crab cakes. Probably better during the summer.

11/14/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Unlike the other raters, I find this complex with flavors of citrus and apple among others. Not overly acidic. Perhaps it needed more time.

11/12/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Always pleasing. Paired with a Thai red curry with shrimp, vegetables, and rice noodles.

11/12/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Good for what it is--not a fine wine but a pleasant sweet wine that paired well with a fruit salad.

11/8/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Quite nice but not a 90 or 92.

9/27/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Did not know what to expect. My sister-in-law brought it back from Peru. Quite nice

9/22/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Unusual stand alone grape. Was quite good.

9/17/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Paired with Mediterranean appetizers.

9/17/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Lots of grapefruit. Paired with a spicy grilled shrimp dish.

9/17/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Spice tones. Lighter than I expected. Paired with smoked filet mignon and spicy grilled shrimp

9/15/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Unlike some of the others who commented, I found this enjoyable and pleasing. Had just finished a less expensive but pleasant NZ SB. Compared with that one, this had far more complexity

9/11/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Surprisingly, this is still good. A little fizzy but the citrus flavors are there.

9/7/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Perhaps this just needed more time. This one was full bodied and ready to drink with none of the unpleasant overtones, that some of the.Michel-Schlumberger wines have had recently.

9/4/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Blackberry notes

8/30/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Still goos but at 4 years, probably best to drink up.

8/29/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Erroneously entered as NV. Actually 2017. Quite good.

An odd edge/bitterness on opening. This subsided, and there was more fruit.

8/6/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Very interesting flavor profile with two grapes that are not usually blended.

8/5/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

First time with this one. Pleasing crisp, summer wine.

8/5/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Always pleasing. Good quality for value.

7/23/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Very citrusy and grapefruity.

Refreshing summer white.

7/18/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Paired with grilled swordish with a tomato-orange-thyme sauce.

Final bottle. Still good.

First orange wine we have had. Very pleasant Chardonnay. A little oak but not overpowering.

6/28/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Blueberry notes dominant.

6/24/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Carneros makes excellent Pinot. This is no exception in flavor, although the alcohol is high at 15.8 percent

6/18/2023 - RMapou Likes this wine:

Still tasting great.
