Enjoyed on January 6, 2017. This bottle seemed a bit weaker than previous bottles I've had. — 8 years ago
Pings your nostrils with sequence of subtle vibrations at hummingbird frequency. Lime, orange blossom, burnt match. Then a slow slip into my absolute favorite honeyed dimension. I love when honey shows up - it's one of my favorite notes in wine. Here it changes the direction from steely stern face to a textured viscous warm smirk. — 3 years ago
A little funk at the end, but in a good way. Sweet, but not over. — 6 years ago

Feels and tastes a bit like a cab but this Shiraz is easy and enjoyable drinking. Very approachable wine. Having a wonderful 2nd year anniversary with my boo. — 8 years ago
Blackberry jam, currant flavors, visibly aged, very dark, some light chocolate flavors. Rich like a Cabernet Sauvignon. 2007. — 8 years ago
Nice and peppery. Like fresh cut pine wood. Herbs and spice from shiraz. Smooth — 9 years ago
Still a baby with a fresh nose of herby grapefruit, shy lime and cool wet mountain stream pebbles.
Brilliant concentration on the palate with this electric tension, racy acidity and a tight core of salty, slate minerality. Around this are layers of lime, white peach, ripe lemons. Ripe yet with great poise, focus and depth.
They really nailed it in 2020! — 4 years ago

Very sweet, but I like both sweet and dry Rieslings. Paid about $12 and would do it again. — 8 years ago
@Carl Fischer Christine knew that we would all get along as soon as you walked in with this beauty in New York earlier this year!!! It's one of her favorites!!! Truly A phenomenal example of a great Napa cab. This is firing on all cylinders. I still have a dozen left in my cellar and can't wait to see the evolution that they will take in the next 15 years. Winner, winner chicken dinner! Great minds think a like Carl! LOL we must've had 60 bottles of wine that night and I still remember Christine saying "I really like that wine" when you walked in the door with that bottle! LOL The entire WNH @Joe Lucca @Mike Rowe @David L @Ron R would've had an incredible time this evening. We can't wait to see you within the near future! — 8 years ago

Citrus spray in slo mo - like a 90's OJ ad on Channel 4. Or the one for all-natural counter cleaner. Bergamot, clementine and bitter lime pith. Granny smith and cool flinty smoke. A hanging honey note transitions without much of one into a textured Meade-like experience. Riesling shines with honey. Doesn't give but for a ruby grapefruit bitter bite.
Excellent in smaller doses because damn acid can tire a fella. — 3 years ago
