I held on to this beautiful 2016 in my cellar until 2025. Was it worth it? Heck yea! Tantalizing strawberry and crunchy cherries all over. Balanced acidity and smooth, the tannins were present and like silk. I see the 2022 is available so I suppose il grab one and wait anxiously for 8 or so years to experiment with it too! This is my first from Mercurey but it won’t be my last!

VavaVoom!! Pretty dang good for $18.05! This wine has some nice characteristics for this price point! Concentrated nose of pineapple, passion fruit and yellow citrus. Some soft floral notes are hitting me too! Fresh ripe lemon / lime, with crunchy yellow mango. Not overly gooseberry or herbal either!!! It’s a great wine for oysters, salads or any pan fried white fish! I enjoyed mine with my book overlooking the lake in early spring 2022! This wine is a consistent crowd pleaser and a great introduction to good Sauvignon Blanc without breaking the bank!!!

Full disclosure! I’m not a Cab drinker BUT when I do have some this is what I like! Cassis, blackberry, spice, mint and leather. It hints of sanguine with some herbaceous notes. It’s layered and the tannins are integrated. Yea I waited until December 2021 and I guess it’s good to go now! This would be stellar with a blue cheese burger or any red grilled meats!

Summer vibes in a glass! Tropical, zesty and refreshing at a superb price!! What more does a girl want! The 2020 vintage was terrific and it shows here! This is a delightful patio sipper! Notes of pineapple, white flowers, bright apple and lemon. Nice acidity bouncing around on the tongue with the sweetness too! Tasted in August 2021.

Wow. I saved this wine for a long time. It’s sensual, it’s deep and it’s racy! One of those things that I saved for last and so worth it! Dark, broody and juicy with a vibrant finish!! Delicious! Enjoyed in March 2021.
