Very “French” dry white - rounder in the mouth but not as much as expected. Quite classic. Interesting to try Corsican grape and wine — 2 years ago

Surprised me - really drinkable and nice (had the 2020 vintage). 80% Zinfandel (which you can taste), 10% Syrah, 5% cab and 5% petite sirah adds some great smooth tannins, buttery, reminiscent of some of the better SA wines we’ve had. Really recommend for the price — 3 months ago

Very good big Napa cab, cabs always on the edge of fruity side for me but fantastically balanced and very smooth. Delicious way to land in New York with my brother! — 4 months ago

8.5

Surprisingly not fruit forward, a lot of leather / bitter notes. Enjoyed but not a favourite. Definitely a food wine and I can see why it’s often blended instead of drunk 100% as tinto cao — a year ago
