Had this for Elyse’s gallery signing dinner at Libertine. Somewhat acidic with a bright balance. Great with lighter food. — 3 years ago
Cran tang, mellow, dry, fruit leather ❤️ (PS) $23 — 6 years ago
Maybe not for the purists but this is stunning and I love it . It’s had 15+ years ageing and has old yeasty nose which is stunning. Not as sweet as you would think especially when paired with desert - almost dry feeling and certainly evident quality of the wine. Not much left on the open market so snap it up and try it while you can. — 8 years ago
From the nose (definitely rhum barrels) and the name, expecting some sweetness. But pucker up, this is sour as they come. Got past expectations and really enjoyed the flavor with big salty mouthwash finish. — 9 years ago
Ripe style, but maintains a ton of freshness for a rich, tasty drink, apricot and honey. — 4 years ago
Santa Barbara. Fresh fruit and light minerality on the nose. Very little alcohol coming across too (~12%)
Flavors are subtle too, good balance of sweet to acidic. Think of freshly picked ripe Meyer lemons. Slight effervescence from some natural post bottling fermentation? It really opened up after a few hours and even overnight, mellowing the acidity a bit and bringing forward an impression of sun shriveled fruits.
Bottlesomm on sale for $26. I think at that price it's spot on: 9.0 /$.
I would love to try some other vintages. — 5 years ago
Tuscan style red blend. Winemaker Noah’s take on a super Tuscan (Tuscan varietals blended w Bordeaux varietals). This is a blend of Sangiovese, cab franc, cab sauv and touch of merlot. Like a great red table wine from Tuscany. Perfect for a dinner party - great gifting wine and a crowd pleaser. Nice well rounded wine. Pairs well with food. Yes yes yes — 7 years ago

Good beer, better cheese curds. — 7 years ago
These wines are from the Colchagua Valley in Chile, made by a Kiwi who cooked up an operation somehow involved with a Malaysian princess. I couldn't confirm, but these were made in a cement egg, with no oak. I had more of the El Libertine which was very floral with dark berries. Easy drinking full bodied wine. Very small production, so couldn't get my hands in a full bottle.
I googled "beso negro" and it has an interesting slang in Spanish. You were warned! — 8 years ago
