Wow, seamlessly integrated. This 2010 vintage shows what a A fine example of an Oregon Chardonnay can be l. this small producer has hit a home run. This flagship Vineyard has wonderful fruit and balanced with nice acidity. It was a pleasure to drink.  — 4 days ago

Might be a smidgen past its prime. However, still drank pretty decently. This may be my first wine to include the grape Palomino. I always thought it was a horse. Carlisle known for its Zins primarily put together a really interesting blend. Glad I tried it.  — 2 months ago

Wow, 26 years old and still bringing it. This comes from the top vineyard from a premier producer in northern Rhône. It felt seamless in the mouth with tannins and fruit still hanging together quite nicely. With a good nose, good mouth feel and lingering aftertaste.  — 6 days ago

WOW! After 30 yrs this Mourvèdre blend was absolutely delicious. Hadn’t moved it from my humble cellar sine purchased in 1998!
Mouth filling like ‘honeydew vine water. ( to quote the late JB).

2010 vintage. I believe this is the first wine I have drank from Israel. After 15 years I have to say pretty decent. I do not think it was over the hill and it still had some nice fruit.  — a month ago

Considering this is not a grand cru estate it is still drinking quite decently after 15 years. Getting a little longer in the tooth. But there was no wine left in the bottle.  — 4 months ago
