Wow, a beautifully aged chardonnay. Held up very well, bringing out the nuttiness, vanilla and spices of an aged Chard. Paired great with a Fungi y pollo risotto which I don't believe it would have done in its prime. I'm so pleased with the way this wine aged. — 9 years ago

I don't even have a frame of reference for how incredible this wine is !!! The closest was an Ornellaia I had but that was twenty years ago. Powerful, taut, but balanced. Bought two bottles so I can try one in 10 years or so. — 10 years ago

Whoa!!!! I managed to find the ONE acre of Rousanne in the StaCruzMtns!!! Delicious. Waxy viscosity adds a super fun complexity to the wine. Floral. Impressive wine!!! — 9 years ago

Half acre makes a great aromatic brew in the D.Cutter. You would be well off having one or two on a sunny day because it's not as heavy as some of its other IPA compatriots! — 10 years ago

Couldn't resist snapping a photo of this at WOPN.... With just one acre for this vineyard, I guess it qualifies as a rarity..... Dense, tannic, built to age, hard to really know what is going to happen..... — 10 years ago

*ultimate pizza wine alert*
It's like a four-chair turn on The Voice, if the judges were all pies seeking their perfect match...stay with me...this one manages to have it all, from blk olive, bell pepper, pepperoni, even tart-sweet tomato and portobello. It's also juicy and begs another sip...yep, looks like it's got it all, so long as you've got the will to fork over a twenty to pair with your pie :/ — 11 years ago

Literally one of the best Zinfandels (and wine overall) I've ever had. Whatever Duane Rieder is doing bringing grapes back to Pittsburgh from California, it's working. Dark, smokey and jammy. Reasonable at $62 restaurant pricing. Found it at Original Fish Market. — 12 years ago

Thanks @eugene_vin for this bottle! Fleshy, rich Chardonnay, very Meursault-like in style w toasty nuts, floral & spice complexity. The intensity & ripe nature of the fruit flavours (vs subtlety) being one of its only signs of New World-ness. Yummy. — 10 years ago

This Pinot from Anderson Valley has been in top form lately and it is truly one of my favorites. I think earth-soaked cherry is the best way to describe it. It's a cab-lover's Pinot with complexity, intense flavor, and a full mouthfeel that isn't always easy to find in California Pinots. I would definitely pop the cork on one of these and see how it has matured since its release. The earthy undertones make me happy. — 10 years ago

Fresh and bright white grapefruit and green melon fruit Mary is the matriarch and this 14 acre vineyard is the first one the family purchased in the 1960's a bit of a musky note lemon citrus and gravelly mineral notes very fresh and zesty finish. Leaves the tongue salivating for food. Finish 40+ excellent — 12 years ago
