Another great example of Napa Valley Merlot at its best. Great red fruit, vanilla and nutmeg hints on the nose. Lots of blueberry, raspberry, chocolate covered cherries and baking spices on the palate. Very well integrated with tannins that are ripe but not over-powering. I love their Merlot and only wish they made more of it. — 9 years ago

A very green wine, with white pepper written all over it. 12% of the Savoie is covered in this varietal known as Mondeuse (1 of 23 varietals?). My kind of wine! — 12 years ago

Heavenly! They got this one right. Red wine with chocolate all in one bottle. Not too sweet. There is an aftertaste of chocolate that lingers long after the swallow. Yum! It is a red blend. Think dark chocolate covered cherries. — 10 years ago

Not a bad way to start my Wednesday. Country Vintner tasting at Charleston Grill. Aromatic and perfumed nose of earth-covered mushrooms and red fruit. This wine is still so young and tight though, but I would love to revisit this vintage in a decade or two. I couldn't stop smelling it. — 10 years ago

2005 - headed more towards modern style Rioja smelling of cherry, vanilla, blackberry, oak, tobacco, and cloves. Flavors are big and bold enclosed in subtle but thorough tannins: chocolate-covered cherries, tobacco, leather, cedar box, and hints of dill. — 10 years ago

Deep ruby color with thick legs. Muted primary aromas of red currant, black cherry and strawberry jam. More pronounced secondary aromas of black tea, lavender, cocoa powder, wet stone, damp earth, cigar smoke, and a rich ribbon of vanilla. Medium + tannins, high acidity, with additional flavors of mocha and chocolate covered cherries. 15+ second finish, and still obviously very tight and worthy of many more years in the bottle. Amazing with bistecca alla fiorentina! — 11 years ago

Had to raise my rating after the second day. This thing is glorious. Showing crushed french vanilla coffee beans. Jammy, dark chocolate covered black cherries. On the pallet the tannins are soft and supple. Breadth and depth from start to finish. — 12 years ago

The nose is a nice blend of chocolate covered raisins, black cherry, vanilla, black raspberry and blackberries. The nose is confirmed on the palette, but in a dry, pleasant way. Not a fruit bomb, nice touch of earth. — 10 years ago

Fantastic bottle of wine that was completely reflective of the house and the vintage, powerful velvet covered magic carpet ride of deep red fruits...concentrated and weighty yet showed a lot of finesse. I'd say it has 15+ years — 10 years ago
