7/30/2016 - Frenchfriends86 Likes this wine: 84 pointsIntense red ripe fruits, tobacco, and black pepper on the finish. Big bold tannins and a lingering finish. A little dry for my taste; made my mouth feel like a cottonball but overall very refined with lots of fruit to balance the peppery dryness. |

7/20/2016 - Frenchfriends86 Does not like this wine: 79 pointsLots of mineral, stoniness, and citrus on the nose; didnt get any fruit or citrus just effervescence and wet rock. Perhaps it was because I tasted this wine at well below room temperature but to me it was really dry with lots of minerality. |

7/19/2016 - Frenchfriends86 Likes this wine: 87 pointscedar, violets, bing cherries, and toasty oak finish. The tannins are very much present but smooth and somewhat subdued. Boneless beef short ribs really brought out the fruit and silky texture. |

7/15/2016 - Frenchfriends86 Likes this wine: 89 pointsLight to medium bodied wine with firm but smooth tannins and lots of juicy acidity. Notes of bing cherry, boysenberry, chocolate, and mint with a long lingering finish. Very good food wine; went excellent with pesto sauce over angel-hair pasta. |

2015 Château de la Roulerie Chenin Blanc Anjou (Sec)more |
7/16/2016 - Frenchfriends86 Likes this wine: 83 pointsVery light yellow in the glass with a bouquet of mineral, stoniness, and citrus. My first taste of this was 100% lime and frankly a bit too acidic but once I swirled it and gave it a moment to breath I got notes of Meyer lemon, mouth watering tropical fruit, and toasty oak. This drinks very much like Sauvignon blanc but very good QPR. |

2013 Cantina Cellaro Sicilia Lumà Inzolia-ChardonnayWhite Blend more |
7/8/2016 - Frenchfriends86 Likes this wine: 86 pointsWine is bright yellow in the glass; the body is medium. The nose is almost all jasmine, gardenia, and mineral. The jasmine quality continues strong on the palate with a hint of citrus, poached pear, and green olives. This finishes medium with a smooth buttery texture. Very versatile wine overall; went equally well with arugula salad with seared Ahi as it did with mussels with white wine sauce. |

It had aromas of red currant, raspberries, cedar, violets, and Herbs de Provence.

A very versatile and delicious wine that will only improve with age. |
