This wine is A+ party juice. Wild nose: tart red fruits, hibiscus, rural rain smell - like wet hay and ponies who don't know rain is annoying. Real light tannin, you don't even know it's there, strawberry seeds! Super acidity like kombucha and a little sparkly texture too. Such a pretty fleshy colour I even changed my shirt to white to show you. I love this wine very much, would marry. — 8 years ago

This is my 1000th wine on Delectable and I wanted to post something that meant something special to me. @Steve Anderson brought this to an incredible tasting we attended last night at a beautiful cellar in the home of @Scott Kahn who graciously hosted many of our local tasting group among wives, neighbors and other friends of his. It was an exemplary night that I had to cut much shorter than I preferred because I had to pick up my teenage daughter from a friend's house. It was a perfect storm of many important elements impacting my life both past and present. First and foremost I am a Father and even though my daughter called me much earlier than I wanted on an evening of wine involving first growths, Napa giants and Burg greats....I left because I was needed. My daughter just recently started living with me and we've been through a lot in the last year. The men I was with are almost all parents who totally get the importance of my daughter in my life....they are exceptional Dad's who have raised special kids. I respect them immensely and that is why I am honored that wine brought me together with a group that I would not likely have become friends with without it. Wine does that. It bridges gaps. It creates memories. It develops community. Delectable has done that for me as well. I have never been much of a social media guy but something about this app drew me in. Yes it was the wine...but it's the people that make this "place" truly special. I've made legit friends here and I'm better for it. I spent an amazing weekend in Chicago this summer with @Roman Sukley and @DAG...those 2 couldn't have been more generous, gracious or cool. I've also developed a synergy with @Ron R @TheSkip @Martin G Rivard @David A Lentine @Kimberly Anderson and many others I've never met but I feel like I know somehow. These people know who they are.....but back to the wine. Montelena has a special place in my heart. When I passed the bar in '93 I brought a '87 Montelena to dinner that night. Just me and my Mom. She grew up on a dirt road in a small rural town in North Carolina. Not wine country. By the time we shared the Montelena she had become a pretty ardent Chardonnay fan but did not seem to take to reds. Wine was fairly new to me but I was always trying to get her engaged with my love of red wine. Unsuccessfully. That night we shared a meal and memories at the La Valencia hotel in La Jolla and enjoyed that bottle. She was proud of me and said so. Without reservation. I was the first person on either side of my family to graduate college and now I was a lawyer. The moment touched her and it has stayed with me always. She said "you're my only child and I'm so proud of the man you've become and now you're a lawyer. I can't believe it. More than that I can't believe how much I loooooove this wine. I'm actually more impressed with that!" My Mom had a sense of humor too 😉 and right there a lifetime memory was created over a bottle that now had meaning beyond the wine. When she passed suddenly in '05 I had dinner with her husband. I brought a '90 Ausone and a '91 Montelena. We toasted my Mom. I have no recollection of the $500 Ausone but the Montelena is still one of my top 10 wines of all time. Each wine is its own experience and those you share it with enhance that experience immeasurably. Cherish each glass....and @Steve Anderson thank you for granting my request by bringing that bottle. You know now why I chose it. — 9 years ago

Not bottled until March '13 and minimal interventions gives such a big rural smell and taste, but still smooth, almost velvety. So interesting alone, but can cope with all big foods. — 10 years ago

Little acidic on the side but a great full-bodied red that goes great with pizza and fried chicken when beer just won't do. — 11 years ago

Clear, mini bubbles, white gold appearance. Fruity oak aroma. Flavor went from fruity, to spicy, then sweet-lasts 15 seconds. Smooth wine with lots of flavor. $9.00-rural CO. — 12 years ago

Enjoyed at Auberges des Seigneurs in Vence, rural Provence. A perfect accompaniment to fire roasted chicken and Provençal vegetables. Rose petals on the nose, flavours on the palate encompass apple cider, crème brûlée, lemon citrus, and sweet grapefruit. Beautiful balance of acid and sweetness. Long satisfying tart finish. C'est superb! — 8 years ago

50% syrah 35% caberbet franc and 15% petit verdot, from world famous artist oliviero toscani grown at toscana's seaside area maremma.

top wine, so NOT elegant, but playing with a rural charme, syrah's sweet fruit and spiciness.

Bodega La Rural is one of my personal favorites in Argentina. Anthologies are the best wines they make every year. I loved this one: particularly smooth in mouth and delicious in flavor. — 11 years ago

Located in rural Carlton, Oregon, Ken Wright Cellars showcases the inherent quality of selected vineyard sites. The Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is a blend of Ken Wright Cellars' traditional vineyards. Though not at the same level of complexity as the vineyard designates, this blend is extremely enjoyable. Ruby with red berry fruit and spice. On the palate thus fruit forward blend, from 9 blocks of Ken's best vineyards, is lush and full of Pinot fruit, raspberry and cherry and complex spice. Mild soft tannins, well balanced with a medium finish. It is a great value. — 8 years ago

Uncanny resemblance to Piedmont royalty - the Barolo. Red cherry, tar, minerality, grippy tannin. And to learn that this wine hails from the soil, sun, water, and wind of rural Pennsylvania. Mind blown! — 9 years ago
