You can indicate a Côte Rotie of Jamet as 'Burgundian', but can you indicate a Georges Mugneret as 'Jametian' too? A real "iron hand in a velvet glove". Powerful elegance, spices/herbs and a little meaty. Great wine. — 10 years ago
In an amazing place. Rich and layered. Showing its hand a little but with plenty left to give. So good — 10 years ago

If I'd known then what I know now. I find cab sav is most often a purchase based on speculation - they're frequently released far too young and are pretty much undrinkable in their youth. All overpowering tannin and intensity. This is an example of one very much worth the wait. Cool climate elegance combined with concentrated fruit and all sorts of complex notes layered throughout: menthol, cedar, blackcurrant, spice, hints of dusty chocolate and gently perfumed oak. Still has years ahead of it. Can't wait for dinner to finish cooking so I can sock it back with a rump steak. Should have bought more way back when! — 10 years ago
Medium bodied, tiny touch on the sweeter side but still dry. It is a rosé. — 10 years ago
This is a gorgeous blend. The body of the Chardonnay is felt in a light and enjoyable way, Chenin is still the star. — 10 years ago
Hi octane, nutty, a bit heady and coffee bitterness in the long finish. Pour hard or else this is a rough swallow. — 11 years ago
I can't put my hand in it but I love these delicate structured wines. A real revelation in what wine can and should deliver — 11 years ago
Rolland's hand in this merlot is evident! WA fruit, Pomerol style — 11 years ago

Hell yes! Muscular fruit driven goodness. Still with plenty of grip suggesting lots left in the tank. — 10 years ago
About as good as it gets for a Washington Cab. We opened the 2008 for New Year's Eve several hours in advance to let it oxidize, and the result was fantastic. — 10 years ago
The 2014 Mattaison Napa Valley Rosé is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Counoise from the Windmill Vineyard. I love this wine because what it communicates is restraint and tensile minerality as one would find in a good Provence rosé. Delicate floral aromas, slightly underripe white peaches, and white hand soap lend dimension to a lithe frame that has a subtle and demure touch of creaminess in the background. White plum skins and pie cherries crescendo before slowly unwinding. 11.2% ABV | Sample — 10 years ago
Needed a couple of hours to properly open up but then came the pepper and spicy blackberry. Great stuff. Still plenty of life in it. — 11 years ago
Ruby golden in color with Brown notes (Looks like a port).
On the nose, brandy, sherry, red fruits, figs and raisins. Smells like a port too.
Bold and buttery on the pallet. Really nice and extremely sweet with citrus, honey, blackberries, blueberries, figs, raisins, brandy and lemon.
Long, sweet finish, With cinnamon and lemon.
This winery still uses traditional methods to produce their premium Moscatos. The vineyard is not irrigated, grapes are hand picked and crushed without machinery. The wine is aged in larger oak barrels and blended in a Solera system.
Very Nice Australian Moscato.

Great taste of summer, but great wine any meal. Try with a winning hand in poker or take to share on the top of a hill with a great view. Balanced , smooth — 13 years ago

An absolute gem. It was great initially but just kept on getting better and better as it opened up. Definitely a wine that I need to keep on hand at home. Especially since it comes in half bottles. Tastes like it's in its prime. — 10 years ago
