woogapdx's Review:

I once had a pompous boyfriend who made a Very Big Deal about the release of Beaujolais nouveau every year. Say it with me, W h a t e v e r ...The Volcanique is a truly impressive expression of Gamay. White pepper tickles your mouth while humble raspberry and woody herbs round out the finish.

Sometimes nostalgia is the strongest flavor, with the longest finish. Dry, balanced and even, not yeasty. It was served with warm, serrano wrapped figs. That was a nice combo.

It's the perfect Summer white wine.No, really, don't argue with me. It is perfect.Too bad I only got my hands on 4 bottles.

This magic Malbec manages to please both the novice drinker who insists she prefers "something sweet" and the sophisticate who enjoys "something interesting." Wish I'd gotten a case.

As someone who is just beginning learning wines, it's interesting and useful for me to taste a wine and feel the tastes like music, first one note, then another, then another. What I love about this wine is I get the notes all at once, like a chord, and it works. It's perfect.

Thanksgiving wine weekend 2005, my wine ah-ha moment. This is the one that made my spine tingle and my heart sigh: Wow, I didn't know it could be like this.The mouthfeel was pure honey, with a long varied finish. Well-balanced, golden almost apricot color.

I think this is a fun wine to test/train a beginning palate because the different flavors are so distinct and offer an immediate reward. Saying a wine is floral is one thing, but sticking your nose in a rose is another. For me, this wine hit me hard with rose and black licorice. Still looking for food pairing ideas, suggestions?

Sweet strawberries hit first & hard but vanish in a dry, herbal finish. Favorite rose of the summer!
