2005 vintage. Quite delicate, hazelnut, toasted almond, sweet spice and toasty. On the palate, medium minus body - a little too light for me - decent acidity, and medium plus finish. Better on the nose than palette where the wines lacks substance and concentration. NB: with 1.5 hrs in the glass, the wine has really blossomed and become interesting. Less wood, caramelised pineapple and now a medium body, full concentration wine. Sweet caramel developing on the nose. A chameleon. — 10 years ago
Seriously everyone please look into this label by sans liege. This counoise is just insanity from arroyo grande. A vivacious feel of a light Grenache with a Pinot noir fruit profile. Could literally fool many. A chameleon wine. Need to get many more next time this ever comes around. — 11 years ago
This one is a bit of a chameleon. Keeps changing the longer it sits. Wonderful after some breathing time. Cherry, anise, little bit of earth. Deep, round, velvety. — 11 years ago

Really enjoyable chameleon of a wine with dark color from the Malbec, structure from the Cab Franc, and a distinct flavor from the Pineau d'Aunis — 13 years ago
Beautiful new wine for me. Described as "an earthy Merlot," this wine was like a chameleon that went with beets and straciatella, beef tortellini, mint and roasted tomato pasta, and 90-day dry aged rib eye. Absolutely brilliant with our meal. — 11 years ago
Quaffable with grilled cuttlefish, with chicory salad, with pizza. #chameleon — 11 years ago
Chameleon wine. Started out with bright black cherry, grape bubble gum, black pepper juniper. Opened up to eucalyptus, thyme, cedar and vanilla bean notes. Tannins mellowed throughout. Silky mouthfeel throughout. — 11 years ago
It's the ultimate food wine. Goes with everything. But at the same time, it is too much the chameleon. If it was to be drunk by itself, there isn't a dominant note to define the wine. — 12 years ago
Enjoyed it alot — 12 years ago
Its been decided. Savennieres is a chameleon. — 10 years ago
Changes quite a bit. Incredible chameleon - Orange soda, tangerines, grilled cheese, peach pie. Switches between smoked minerals, pollen, a medicinal herb tone, all along shooting acid. This thing is all over the place! — 10 years ago
2009 vintage. Pale lemon hue. Mineral and saline nose. Green apple skin. More closed than expected. On the palate, medium body and medium concentration. The wine isn't showing. The minerality is there, but the complexity is hiding. The length is good, but I was expecting more. NB: after 1.5hrs the wine has finally opened and broadened out, gaining weight and substance. The aroma profile has also changed- green apricot and white peach. After 2hrs, even the colour seems to have changed, taking on a pale golden hue! The green stone fruit is now a little riper, and the finish is longer and richer. This is the Chameleon wine! Note to self: aerate for minimum 2 hours before serving. — 10 years ago
Utterly blown over by this stunning wine. A real chameleon in the glass evolving continually over the course of a few hours. Ripe cherries chocolate and cinnamon leather tobacco but fresh. Lovely silky soft integrated tannins. Lacked a bit of the concentration you'd expect from Amarone. I guess that's why he released it as a table wine. I can't wait to try the Amarone someday — 12 years ago
Cinnamon, tannin, spicy and beautifully mercurial. Who knew it could go with everything? A beautiful Chameleon — 12 years ago

This is a review for the Jordan Stellenbosch Chameleon Dry Rosé. Fruity but dry rose with aromas of summer berries - like running through a field in the sunshine! — 10 years ago
