We had this one 13 years after vintage, and we probably could have waited another 10-15 years. But it was singing: drinking beautifully. We decanted a couple hours before dinner, and it had such power and finesse. Life is good. — 4 days ago

We had the 2012 and it was fabulous. All the purity and grace of grand cru Chardonnay, with elegant depth from the honey and nut overtones that age brings. This was a wonderful experience. (Pro tip: Please don’t drink it too cold: you’ll miss so many of the flavors!) — 4 days ago

This is a really great wine. Jeff Stewart is a wonderful winemaker (and a nice guy). This wine has a rich mouthfeel with restrained oak and enough acidity to enhance the fruit and experience. This worked great with a roasted chicken over an arugula salad, and the next day it worked just as well with take out burgers. Enjoy! — a month ago

I can never say too much about how wonderful Gruner is, and this one was fabulous. We served it with steak, alongside a chateauneuf du pape and a Barolo (!), and it held its own. This is the little wine that could. Delightful in every way. — 4 days ago

A beautiful explosion of red stone fruit on the approach, and a nice development of the acidity and light tannins—just enough! Perfect with our citrus-roasted salmon. Great juice for the money. — a month ago

What a fun wine! Energetic and vibrant fruit—almost Concord grapey, with great balance, and bright freshness. A standout wine. We paired it with a roasted chicken chicken, and our mouths were very happy! — a month ago

This was a hedonistic delight! Bursting with fruit, fresh and lovely. No need to overthink this one, just enjoy! — 4 days ago

Wonderful depth and honeyed richness, with the fresh acidity to balance. Alas, we drank it 20 years too soon! This is one to put away and savor. — 4 days ago

Really nice! We made some simple baked tofu with a spicy peanut sauce and it was just right. Wonderful full mouthfeel, racy acidity and yeah, a slate finish. Perfect foil to the spicy peanut sauce. Enjoy! — a month ago

Really nice! 2019 was a great year, and this was just right with a couple of homemade pizzas. It picked up the spices in the pepperoni and its acidity cut through the richness of the sausage. The fruit was delicious and the cigar-leather on the finish was a lovely foil that made you want another sip as much as another bite of pizza. Yum! — 2 months ago
