Light and citrus nose with hints of farm. Grapefruit, mineral and licorice. I wish I could have sat all afternoon with this amazing gem. Probably the top five best white wines I have had. One of the most perplexing thing about this was the complexity in structure but the lightness that lingers like a spring day. — 10 years ago
08 sat in my wine frig until Fathers Day. Smooth, mellow black cherry accented the appetizer round — 11 years ago
Classic. Could have sat for 15 more years — 12 years ago
Better than expected. The wine of the night, even up against a few classics. Deeply brooding and masculine, loads of dark fruits, eucalyptus, smoke, earth, and tight, dusty berries. The layers keep appearing over time. The more this sat, the better it showed. THIS is why I love SLD. Bravo, Elias Fernadez. — 10 years ago
Wow, what a great wine! Decanted for 2 hrs and was very impressed by this wine. All descriptions I have read on this wine are accurate. Fruity, slightly dry, just the right tannins, smooth going down and just lingers on the tongue. Another wine that got better the longer it sat. Enjoyed drinking this wine as we entertained our friends. A definite recommend and a definite rebuy. Enjoy — 10 years ago
Two bottles at Cena Restaurant on Sat/12 Sep...very good — 10 years ago
This Fanti is welcome, denser, more opaque in the glass, fuller bodied that any of the others. I had one class and then it sat for 18 hours and didn't fade a notch and the time added an extra dimension.
It has the characteristic herb nose of 2010, it's like standing in a garden, a fresh wind is carrying herbs and strawberry, growing nearby are cherries.
The fuller palate also has cherries and red fruit, perfect tannin led integration, great balance, superb mouth feel.
Damn these 2010's are good!

Holy cow. What a perfectly balanced, wood toned beauty. Sat soft but firm on the palate with mildly expressive black fruit and silky spiced oak. — 12 years ago
Vino de Tierra de Mallorca. Suculento, goloso, maduro. — 13 years ago
Out of a #magnum The nose and length were really impressive. The nose was very intense and complex and the wine sat and developed on the palate for at least 4 min. The palate was a little beyond where I thought it should be and the tannins were a little disjointed though. The black and red fruit was very ripe. The balance was slightly off but still a wonderful wine. #pauillac #bordeaux #moutonrothschild #premiergrandcru — 10 years ago
Another find on Last Bottle. Very bold and earthy. Not sharp but a strong finish. Tons of flavor. Sat in decanter for about an hour and that seemed sufficient. Serve at 63 degrees, a few below room temperature to keep the alcohol at bay and the aroma really comes through. — 10 years ago
I actually didn't like the very first sip, but as it sat there it developed a bit more flavor. — 10 years ago
If lovage grew at the feet of groves of tangerines and we sat beneath these quenching our thirst eating balled watermelon dressed in lime zest and spearmint. Organic to boot! Among my very favorite rosés to date in 2015. An absolute delight tasted on a Flower Day. — 10 years ago
I'm loving this stuff. The 375 screwtop is also totally correct. A perfect wine 1 for sat dinner at home with a friend. — 12 years ago
Sat afternoon at home bottle 1 of 2. Ups to Jill at Domaine — 13 years ago

Wax on, wax off: this evening I took a rare field-trip to Waxhaw, which is way beyond my typical radius of existence. I had planned an anniversary dinner at Heritage, and my good friend "Coach Witty" encouraged me to run a mile race with her at track night in those parts beforehand (why not run a 5min race right before a nice dinner?!) I ended up winning and getting a PR, and Heritage was worth the trek. Food Babe walked in and sat down next to us - hopefully she only had good things to say about Paul Verica's passion project, as I loved it!! As for the wine...I have been asked, "what's a good wine to give as a nice gift?"....and I often suggest Caymus cab. It's always solid, a fruit bomb, and elegantly-finished. A known quantity. Perfectly paired with the local summer vegetables and my steak. And last but not least, let's all raise a glass to Pat Summit - the winningest coach in D1 history to date - that certainly gains my respect. May her legacy live on #caymus #theextramile — 9 years ago
