Aroma of green apple, pretty sweet with a lemon-apple-melon taste which was hard to deduce. I do enjoy it and will probably drink it again. — 2 years ago

Dark blackish red that slightly clings to the glass. Black fruit and tobacco on the inviting nose. Full bodied palate gives black cherry, black tea, and cigar box. Fine dusty tannins. Medium acidity. Long, luxurious, black velvet finish. Calls out for grilled or roasted meats. Beef will do, but lamb or game would be sublime. Drink now through 2028 or beyond. — 6 years ago

Monthly WTF group recap. Theme this month was “bring something special”. Normally we taste all of the wines blind, but we decided to do a relaxed night with amazing wines at a great restaurant. Spectacular evening!


What a treat this will be in 10yrs! Very youthful right now. I don’t know how the grapes are used here, but it was reminiscent of whole cluster Pinot. Similarities to the Antica Terra Angelical wine but more spice and denser core. Lifted and energetic profile. Smoked and slightly bloodied with iron and smoky beef jerky. The finish showed tart mulberries and baked black cherries. Oak wasn’t very noticeable. Hold. — 7 years ago

This was probably my favorite Pinot of the evening. I do think it will even get better. — 7 years ago

Rating my second bottle of 2009. First was sometime 2014/15. This is so heavy, driven by deep dark cherry fruit and so much forest floor it reminds me of Brunello. Not as elegant as 2007 and 2008 vintages. But still very likable and I do like many of Eric’s wines (Terra Nuema, Dierke and his Riesling, namely) — 8 years ago

Terrific rose of pinot noir from Maggie Harrison of Antica Terra. This is not your garden-variety rose: serious skin contact time coupled with her incredible wine-making abilities has produced a really substantive wine. Reminds me a bit of Manfred’s SQN roses (not surprising, I guess, since Maggie worked with Manfred for I believe a decade or so before striking out on her own with what I think is the best winery in the Willamette Valley). Do yourself a favor and try to snag some of this. Terrific juice. — 5 years ago

O vinho com inspiração nos aborígenes Selknam da Terra do Fogo, no sul do Chile, continua oferecendo experiências ricas, suaves e elegantes - como deve ser a representação de Deus pelas máscaras de Fogo: nós, espíritos que andam. — 7 years ago

This yellow-gold wine has aromas that are more herbal than floral, with savory dill bolstering the citrus and stone fruit. The palate carries much citrus along with savory balsamic notes. Acidity is great, and makes for a lively pairing with a variety of salads and seafood. — 7 years ago

Mag. Excellent, dark fruit, elegant and restrained, hasn’t quite shed its tannic austerity on the finish. I don’t always drink Priorat, but when I do... — 8 years ago

Another stunner from the Terra Alta Do, Edetària yields an untethered expression of Garnatxa Blanca. Animale, cantaloupe peel, and dried pear pave way to apollenous, expansive mid-palate that's rustic and refined at once. A pleasant tahini-like bitterness adds complexity to the finish. — 8 years ago

Currant candies, cherry pie, raspberry jam, rosewood, blood orange and beeswax. Warm and powerful for Willamette. A bit young and taut. Maybe in five years it will show what it can really do — 6 years ago

Dense and dark red 👁️
Cherry, pear and some petrol 👃
High acidity.
Lemon tartness at first with some dark red fruit with hints of cloves and nutmeg. After a bit the soft and pleasent wood dryness arrives.
Medium body and a Light dry 🎯

Paired well with tomato pie, Arabic salad with tahini and a variety of latkes.

A pleasant one with good vfm (65 nis as part of a half case of Portuguese variety)

That strong tartness would make it a very gastronomic wine. Would work with everything.

Last try of the different Portuguese varaiety. All were more then decent and dead cheap. — 8 years ago

Now we're getting serious.....
Wow......fantastic bottle,, but still has room to grow! Had a bunch of tannins yet, and showed lots of earth, exhibiting some wonderful fruits but not fully developed at its open, but a half hour later was just luscious. Have more, and glad I do! — 9 years ago
