Had another bottle. Stéphane Ogier is one of Côte Rôtie’s most well-respected stars & looks for concentration in the vineyards and freshness in the cellars. "Le Temps est Venu, ‘the time has come’ for an adventure farther south, with old-vine Grenache and limestone slopes. A blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Syrah that comes from the Plan de Dieu and Visan AOCs. Red fruit aromas and pepper spice notes. Sweet raspberry and cherry flavor adding herbs to the mix. Medium length ending with earthy notes. Nice value! — 7 years ago

Green olives on the nose that become more prominent in tasting. Pepper, I can't tell if it's black or white. Slightly astringent, with sharp, interesting tannins. An adventure wine well worth the price! — 9 years ago
Drinking this is like coming back to an old girlfriend. There still a lot of the reasons there why you fell in love with her in the first place. Drinking it and exploring the taste you can get with fruit and cheese is always an adventure. Honey and caramelized peach flavors with not a cloying finish in sight. — 6 years ago

Vanilla. Light oak. Full body. Heavy blackberry jam notes. Short finish. Perfect to celebrate the final evening of a two week long adventure around the world. — 8 years ago
@delectable This is a Texan, not a Californian; Texas High Plains AVA to be exact. I'm speechless after this effort... insane character and uniqueness. Has it's own definitive style without losing the soul of Sauvignon Blanc. This is straight up radiating with energy.
My girl wanted in on this review. She's got a way with words that is one in a million 😜 So, here is our combined effort:
"Now featuring: The Green Elixir. Wisps of kiwi swiftly enter the nasal passage on command. Over-ripened sweet cantaloupe charges through leaping over fresh Bosc pears. Similar to walking through a field of freshly cut grass on a midsummer Sunday morning. Upon walking through the renewed grass, you will come across loamy soil, enveloped with sandy silt. Dandelions magically pop up along the adventurous route dancing lazily in the breeze.
Taste consistently bathes, not lingers, but bathes on the palate. Anyone ever kiss a lime rind? Experience it now with The Green Elixir. Sour, yet makes you yearn for more. Granny Smith apples frolic throughout the tastebuds. Heading towards the end of our adventure, straw begins to make an appearance and wants to join in the fun. At the peak of the completion of our endeavor, a special herb comes out to play. Lemon Basil pleasantly surprises you to make sure your finale is more than grand.
*Medium-plus acidity and Medium-minus body

Unbelievable nose. Smooth in the mouth but robust flavor. And very drinkable despite giving a great sensory adventure — 9 years ago
Beautiful acidity that is evened out by an almost peaty aroma. Smells like single malt. A wonderful adventure in a bottles — 9 years ago
Rich rich! Blackberries meet black pepper! — 8 years ago
Highest complexity to a wine Ive had. Every sip seems like a new adventure. Iron and copper like minerality, a fresh dill component but unlike rioja, lots of tart cranberry and pomegranate flavors. The finish is cedary, herbal and long. A touch of wet mulch and barnyard funk adds that honest terroir expression with classic style. Very much in tact but no need to hold much longer. — 8 years ago
Ahh Miss Vicky... Reminds you that you are worthy and deserving and wanted. The thing about Miss Vicky is that it makes you feel alive. It makes you feel like you're not just passing through the motions. You're enjoying every breath in every moment... A sexual adventure free of hassles, commitments or drama, timed for the dry yet rich lasagna. — 9 years ago
