Search Wine Tasting Notes

For a better Search Result, use the Advanced Wine Search. Else, enter the wine name and the vintage if desired, or the region for tasting notes. If you don’t get the result you’re seeking, either we do not have tasting notes on the wine or for that exact year. To help your search results, broaden your search to just the wine name and check for spelling errors. You can sort your results by ratings, vintage or alphabetically.

Forward, deeply colored, lush, round, open wine, with layers of plushly textured dark fruits, vanilla, chocolate, licorice and dark cherries. This is already quite easy to drink.

Oaky, but once past the sweet oak, the wine is full bodied, rich, deep and concentrated. Dark in color, with round textures and an open style, it is easy to enjoy the dark fruits, licorice, chocolate and black cherry notes.

Full bodied, polished and round in texture, this blackberry and cassis filled wine pops with its spicy berries, licorice and coffee bean nose. A year or two will soften the tannin and add more complexity to the wine.

Oaky, ripe, jammy berries, licorice, medium/full bodied with a jammy finish that displayed a touch of heat. I would not age this wine, as it seems to lack the stuffing for much development.

Light and starting to fade, the fruit is taking on a tart quality. Drink up.
