@Chris Koupal @Bill Bender you guys must try this one!!! I had it Tuesday night in Charleston. Wow!! — 9 years ago
2006 Buccella is maturing beautifully. Notes of black cherry and blackberry coupled with hints of cocoa and graphite fill the glass. It has a medium to full bodied finish. Alicia and Bill have sourced some excellent fruit in every vintage produced and today Celia continues to squeeze her magic in every barrel. — 9 years ago

20 minutes later... I could still taste the ornellaia in my mouth. There is a reason this wine is a legend — 10 years ago
Phillip Togni is a legend in the world of wine and impresses us everyday. His Spring Mountain Cab should be the blueprint for a generation of winemakers. — 10 years ago
Great value. Love the full bodied tannic blend. That petite Verdot pops. — 7 years ago
Recently purchased by Bill Foley of Foley Family Wines, continuing traditions of Fred Furth who founded Chalk Hill in 1972, which encompasses 280 acres of vineyards. A blend of 84% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Sauvignon Gris and 6% Sauvignon Musque, the latter 2 adding an interesting dynamic to the wine and distinctive aromas. One of the few SB's to see some oak giving this wine complexity. Peach, herb and earthy tones, well balanced with acidity, smooth yet robust on a lingering finish ending with citrus notes. — 8 years ago
I have known for years that Paso Robles makes great wine. This is an excellent example of what perfect weather, abundant water and great soils can produce. Deep rich dark fruit and extremely fine silky tannins! @Paul T @Ron R @Jim Trobaugh @Bill Bender @Jacqueline @Eric Shanks @Connor McMahon @Martin G Rivard — 8 years ago
Wow that's freaking good! Dark fruit with a lush mouthfeel. Great long finish. I always chuckle when people say 11 was a bad year. Bill & Alicia have a great recipe even in a subpar growing year. Always exciting to uncork one of these bad boys!! 🍷😍🍷😍 — 8 years ago
From two of the top winemakers in Napa Valley. Deep fruit with a hint of spice. Full bodied front to back. Dawnine and Bill Dyer continue their winemaking experience! — 9 years ago
Beautifully "restrained" (if that term applies to Napa blockbusters) and showing fantastic balance.
This reminds me of 2003 Araujo Eisele CS at age 5+.
Buy as much as you can afford and then put a few extra bottles on your CC.
This is going to be a legend in 20+ years.

The wine needs to breathe a little, but the wait will be rewarded. It's a complex, although still young red that gives a good name not only to kosher wines, but affordable red wines in general. — 10 years ago
Need to finish all the bottles this year, but still so tasty. — 12 years ago

Thanks to @Bill Bender for this one. Getting the primi off to a good start. This is a Chardonnay that wants to be a White Rhone! 🙂😋 Happy TG to all my wine friends! — 9 years ago
