Customer photo review of 2016 Les Combelles Gigondas
Sherry R.Verified
Delicious! Medium garnet color with ruby tinges. Blackberry, tobacco, black cherry and leather nose. Blackberry, black raspberry, leather, herbs and toasty oak palate. Dry, full body and high acidity. Perfectly balanced tannins.

Michael O.Verified
It's been a long time since I've tasted a true Chianti Classico Riserva that's so good and has a reasonable price. I wish I'd ordered a full case, because this will not last long.

This wine was part of a mixed case I ordered and we were so excited about it that we ordered a case. Rich and very smooth, perfect tannins and very nice finish.

Customer photo review of 2022 Domaine Jean-Michel Guillon & Fils Fixin Les Crais+1
Bob L.Verified
We love this producer. It’s excellent for both Côté d’Or or Bourgogne rouge AOC. They are named vineyards as good as a premier cru for under $50. Good body, good fruit. Smooth. Drinkable now. Slainte

Customer photo review of 2014 Domaine Matrot 'La Piece Sous Le Bois' 1er Cru Blagny
Nick S.Verified
The color was lighter than I expected, a light purple or violet. Decanted and left for an hour before tasting. An aroma of red fruit -- cherry, maybe strawberry -- with a touch of menthol. Medium body, nice acid, smooth tannins. Sweet, lots of red berries, leather, cedar, and that touch of eucalyptus or menthol carried on a mineral backbone. A medium finish of limestone. Very nice indeed! I already ordered more!

Customer photo review of 2022 Arduini Corte Fischio Pinot Grigio
Mark B.Verified
This wine surprised me. I thought it might be like a lot of other Pinot Grigio wines I have tried. Much better, more interesting fruit flavor, hard for me to distinguish the fruit. At first I thought sweet but it’s not. I really have enjoyed this patio sipper. Great with a fresh salad for lunch or dinner.

Customer photo review of 2022 Domaine Jean-Michel Guillon & Fils Bourgogne Les Graviers Pinot Noir+1
Robert L.Verified
We love this stuff. Just a bourgogne AOC but as good or better than a premier cru. Great value wine . Superb. If you never tried French Pinot noir you’re missing world class wine and this bottle is a great place to start . 90 points

Customer photo review of 2018 Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé
Susan C.Verified
I am really enjoying this wine. Physically distanced occasions - like a glass of rose on a roof deck with friends watching a sunset - have been made more delicious holding a glass of this South African Rose wine.

Customer photo review of 2016 Ottoventi Punto 20 Nero D'Avola Sicilia
Mary O.Verified
I have been looking for this wine for over a year. We have drank this wine at our favorite Italian Restaurant in New Orleans (Vincent’s on St. Charles Ave.). We really enjoy it, so I was so excited when I was wine shopping online, because of Coronavirus and up popped Big Hammer wines with .20! So, I immediately ordered 6 bottles and they arrived quickly and at a great price. Thank you Big Hammer Wines.

Customer photo review of 2018 Dominio de la Granadilla Verdejo Rueda Spain
Kim B.Verified
Light floral on the nose like honeysuckle. Green fruit notes, crisp pear or apple. Nice color. Lightly acidic. Maybe a hint of lemon. Delicious and refreshing. I really enjoyed this one!

Customer photo review of 2021 Acumen Mountainside Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Daniel C.Verified
A well balance fruit forward with an extended flavor on the palette. Smooth low tannins but bold, a great wine to share with friends with a discriminating test for good wine.

Customer photo review of 2015 Domaine Jean-Charles Fagot Saint-Romain Blanc
Nick S.Verified
Golden color in the glass. Popped and let sit for 45 minutes. I would suggest decanting and waiting twice that time, because the wine definitely improved with air. A musty nose with rays of citrus and lemon grass apparent. Surprisingly full-bodied ... meaty. Lots of mineral with prominent citrus. Good acid and well-integrated. A long finish and, after time and air, the finish ended with saline. A poor person's Mersault at one-third the price of Mersault. Loved this and already ordered four mo...

Excellent wine. Great for sipping or with red meat. I gave some as a gift to my friend. If you like smooth solid red wine you will like this wine.

Beautiful, complex nose with bright dark fruit with luxurious tobacco and leather undertones, and raspberry, blackberry and plum on the palate with hints of cocoa powder and vanilla on the finish. Loves lamb!

Immediately opulent - a seductive mistress, beautiful nose, teasing with the anticipation of the finish, while flashing legs that go forever. Jammy, velvety... you crave the next palate exploitation and yet, while the caress of fruit seems endless, sa@dly you realize the bottle is not...

This is a lovely wine, very expressive of the Bordeaux area and drinking well now. Happy to pick it up through Big Hammer wine email alert message. Puts one in a happy mood like this shirtless guy on the motorcycle.

Customer video review of 2016 Brookman Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Russell B.Verified
Glad I bought 6 more before it sold out. I have also bought the Brookman 2010. This is great stuff. I love Louis Martini Stagecoach and this tastes super similar for 60% less than Louis. Really great find by Big Hammer. Looking forward to some other unique finds. Referred a friend and he bought some of this too. Loved it.

Big Hammer Wines did an amazing job! Greg was awesome and made sure to ship it so it would arrive exactly when I needed it. It was packaged safe and kept cool and the bottle was in immaculate condition. BHW really takes care of their product and customers.

I have not tasted all the wines that were delivered but the couple that e tried were excellent. I was also pleasantly surprised with the extra virgin olive oil that was included as a welcoming present. My plans are to try the Amarone package next.

Customer photo review of 2020 Domaine Doreau Monthelie 1er Cru Les Champs Fulliots
Bob L.Verified
Big Hammer is a great place to buy wine. I live in the area so I stop by to pick it up. They are always very nice. It’s a warehouse but there are elegant tasting rooms as well. The prices are competitive with the lowest available and they almost always provide a nice discount on your next purchase making it an even better deal.

Customer photo review of 2002 Avignonesi Vin Santo di Montepulciano 375ml
Alexandro H.Verified
Simply amazing! Hands down the best-tasting Vin Santo I’ve had to date. Silky, high viscosity liquid gold that coats the mouth with honey-raisin-fig-caramel goodness. Acidity/alcohol cuts through the sweetness to lighten up the tasting experience, making it a well-balanced dessert wine. Intense, long finish.

Customer photo review of 2015 Delectus Cabernet Sauvignon French Wedding Napa Valley
John D.Verified
I had my first Bottle of Delectus 2015 French Wedding Cabernet Sauvignon back in 2023. We were very impressed by the depth and complex character of the wine. It stood up to bottles more than twice the price. At that time i wished I’d bought more thane one bottle. When ai saw it available at the low price of $49 (cheaper than my original purchase price) I had to snatch up four more bottles. This wine is ready to drink and enjoy.

Customer photo review of 2020 Chateau Lagrange Saint-Julien+4
Bob L.Verified
Delicious wine . I haven’t opened the 2020 yet . I buy it every year going back to 2010. Not crazy expensive . I always get $10 off at big hammer . I prefer to pick up my wine and they are always accommodating. They have a big inventory but not always the most current vintage. A little bottle age never hurt . Highly recommend

Customer photo review of 2015 Sei Querce Ranch House Cabernet Sauvignon+1
David C.Verified
This really does have the taste nose and finish of the few Silver Oak Napa Valley's we have received as gifts. Only regret is I only purchased 6. 3 are gone and I will now order the case of the 2016 vintage. Trust me, this is not my price range. I like good wines but I need to secure great wines. Life is too short for just ok!!

This well aged Cabernet Sauvignon from on Q is absolutely delicious. Lots of dark fruit, soft oak and earthy notes give everything as what to expect from this perfectly balanced wine.

I ordered 6 bottles after hearing Greg talk about it and because it was from the Langhe area in Pieamonte. I had my first bottle at dinner and before I had dessert, I went on line and ordered an additional full case of this delicious red blend.

Customer photo review of Cantina di Soliera Lambrusco di Sorbara
Jerome H.Verified
I believe Lambrusco is a criminally under appreciated wine, and this is one of my favorites. Light, airy and fruit-forward, without being cloying. Beautifully crafted example of what Lambrusco can be.

Customer photo review of 2004 Zyme Kairos Veneto Rosso IGP
Lynn H.Verified
I had difficulty getting the cork out intact, probably not surprising for a 2004 vintage. I split the bottle, decanting half to allow some breathing and tasting some immediately. I must confess I could not discern a great difference between the two in this case. Both were plummy, almost overripe, with flavors of plum, prune and faint licorice. The high alcohol content was not evident, I assume because of great balance between acids and tannins, but now I am way over my head. I believe, if the co...
