This wine is 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre. It had plenty of dark and almost smoky plummy fruit yet remains surprisingly elegant. Nice mineral notes, good but not overbearing acidity and a fine hint of garrigue. Lots of class. — 7 years ago

2011er Weissburgunder. Für sein Alter noch sehr gut trinkbar. Kantig, kräftig mit leichter bitternes im Abgang. — 9 years ago
Takes a while to calm down, but it is a living wine with incredible fruit. On back label, "Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best ... — 9 years ago

My favorite of the evening. Loved what the skin contact did for this wine. Clemens Busch dinner w/ Domestique and Williams Corner Wine. — 6 years ago
Did this as a vertical tasting 2012 Alter Ego, now onto secondary notes of stewed fruits, leather and coffee. Maybe not the case for all 2000s, but would even say this was a tad past it’s peak. — 7 years ago
What a great find. Forewarning, this is still very tight. Upon opening it was tobacco and smoke. Two hours alter the floral notes are really picking up and the wine is delicious. This could be a monster in a few years. I will have a case soon. — 7 years ago

Smooth. Remember Steve Urkel's alter ego Stefan? That kinda smooth. Best whiskey I've ever had. — 9 years ago
Never been disappointed. This is an 06 and seems to have great depth. Alter doesn't seem to have the good and or bad year. Must be the winemaker — 10 years ago

Raj sent me this Bloom's Field Pinot from Domain De La Cote and wow! It immediately reminds me Santa Rita fruit as I've tasted a lot of the local wine lately but it was so pure. The style is Burgundian of course and reminds me of Domain de L'Arlot! Love this expression not to pump Raj's ego anymore :-). Simply delicious as CINDY says. — 9 years ago

'99 and '04 Palmer, '08 and '10 Alter Ego — 10 years ago
Number 3 tonight of 3. Started with the 2004 Alter Ego from Palmer, followed by the 2012 Realm Farella, and now this wine. The Palmer was good, the Hartwell better, but the Realm was best. This Hartwell at 10 years old has a tremendous amount of life in it. Enjoyed with a brownie made by Liam and supervised by MC. How can cab and brownies be bad. Hey Becca thanks for the shoutout on Delectable, and follow me push. I assume I'm your first wine friend too. — 10 years ago
