It's a lightly oxidative style which I appreciate. Golden apples, Bosc pears, citrus blend, pineapple flesh, touch of quince, ginger ale in the mid palate, cream soda, soft silty chalkiness, very soft & smooth mineralogy, nice acid & beautiful crisp finish. — 9 years ago

Incredible Chenin from South Africa. 55 year old vines, low yield loveliness. Bosc pear, honeysuckle, lime on the nose. White peach and the Bosc pear thing continues. Medium body, clear and vibrant acid. Streamlined and serious. Tasted with the winemaker! — 10 years ago

The 2010 cuvée Cathleen is also showing almost no color advancement whatsoever. It is pale yellow with green tents. Aromatically it's restrained with with some faint peaches and nectarines aromas some faint Bosc pear.. But still quite closed in. The wind is amazingly we strained. It is tightly wound but but has incredible depth at the same time. It has good acid structure and deeper richness but still needs years open up. This is an amazing wine. — 11 years ago

The 2009 Vinehill Chardonnay has almost no color advancement. It is a deep yellow color with just hints of gold in the color. The aromas are more of a green pears Bosc pears with hints of chalky minerality. this is a really fresh wine not showing as much age as the first three. This wine has a good richness with a strong core of acidity. It does not have quite as much fatness is as the 08 was showing. But it also has a little less structure on the back but a strong character of really ripe grapefruit lemon citrus in the mid-palate to the back palate. This is a really complex interesting wine not showing the spiciness of the aged versions however. — 11 years ago

Beautiful champagne...especially for the money. Cream soda, minerals and yellow florals on the nose. The palate is; lightly bruised green apple & Bosc pear, citrus, pineapple, cream soda, butterscotch, quince, baguette, fine bubbles, delicate fine chalkiness & mineralogy, enjoyable acidity & long, rich finish. Certainly, one of the better champagnes and value in Champagne. Happy Valentines Day all! ❤🍾 — 8 years ago

Some pretty sexy and spicy Carmenere. Lighter than most, not overextracted, very herbaceous and just that right tip of the tongue spice to pique the palate. 2014 vintage. — 10 years ago

Fermentation and aging in concrete is gaining traction in the US, when I studied enology in college, concrete tanks weren't discussed as a method, which is too bad, because of the substantial impacts to texture and purity of fruit. Keplinger's use of concrete in this Rhône white blend is one
such success. Ripe Bosc pear, white peach and honeysuckle on the nose. Full and lush in the mouth with a silky, creamy texture. Acidity lends balance and length. Papaya, lime zest and lanolin notes on the finish. — 11 years ago
