Delicious white wine that’s perfect on a warm spring evening. Albariño is a newly discovered favorite - I sense I’ll be drinking this all summer! Crisp and zesty. — 6 years ago

Merlot and Cabernet Franc from 30 ye old vines planted by Mondavi. Good but not elaborate. Uncomplicated. It was suggested that it was Sangiovese-like, by the hostess, but I disagree. — 7 years ago

Surprisingly light, fruity, slightly sweet, one of the better wines I had in a while. — 7 years ago

This is quite a complex wine. Give it some time to breathe and it will reward you for that. Doesn't need any more time to age, if anything drink it soon. I didn't have another to compare it to, but it may be just past it's prime. Primary flavours: Tobacco, stewed plum, dried sour cherry. Secondaries: leather, smoke, white pepper, vanilla. Tertiaries: green capsicum, spearmint. Full body, long finish, very intense, very complex, many levels of expression.

The short answer - buy it and drink it — 8 years ago

Nice balance of tart, ripe fruit and minerality. Lower alcohol typical of all the Austrian wines that I love and crush of the reg. Playful, doesn’t take itself seriously, like me on the D....Biodynamic. — 5 years ago

So... I drew blood opening this bottle. Maybe my fault. So I'm not optimistic...

I was very excited to try this #Arinto having tried the ‘95 on a few occasions. I must say I prefer the ‘95, though the ‘91 is still interesting.

Beautiful bouquet and golden honey color. Uninteresting on the finish. Not fruit forward, but acid seems balanced. Next, I want to try the 1993, my birth year vintage! #SommCon — 7 years ago

One out of 5,232. Bright, fresh and full of life. Aromas of cranberry, strawberries and rhubarb. Spicy at the back of a long finish. Wish I had 5,231. Happy Birthday!!! — 7 years ago

15' Margerum D SB. D is a blend of McGinley Vineyard "The Point" Sauvignon Blanc and Grassini Family Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc. I had the 2015 Grassini Reserve SB and enjoyed it.

A blending of neutral & new oak. Lime all day! Lemon peel, Nectarines. Moderate amount of acidity. Beautiful balance! Serve at cellar temperature! — 8 years ago

This is good stuff but maybe high on price for what I get out of it, we'll see how it opens up — 8 years ago

Everything I expect in a D&R wine but more: this took a full day and a half to come around, very closed initially. There is a slightly gray-ish tinge to the light purple color - like antique violet. The nose has only a bare touch of funk but a definite earthiness, with tar and subtle wet leaves framing sweet plum and mulberry. The feel is light but the tannic frame is definite and this will need a few years or, like I did, a few days open to really strut its stuff. The finish lingers with something both fruity and floral. I like old Bandol, but find many of them more than a bit rustic. This is like taking Tempier and filtering through a Burgundian sensibility with a kiss of sunshine. Great work. #hardywallace — 8 years ago

Mixed crowd reaction. Personally I thought it had great character just needed to open up a bit. — 7 years ago

Firing. On. All. Cylinders. Wine was purchased about 3.5 years ago in a six-pack and was intended to be consumed rather fast. Back story: ran into a 12 pack of 2005 "Prima Voce" close to 10 years ago at about 10 bucks per bottle and was told it was "ok" for an Italian blend but it wouldn't last longer than a year or so (but noone knew for sure). It. Killed. Come to realize the only reason it was available readily in the states was because Kendall Jackson acquired them. Fast forward about 6 years from that and requested to find this one. Today, Arceno is still under the KJ umbrella. Have slowly been drinking on the ones I found a few years ago. This wine is rather aromatic even from Coravin. Dirty raspberry, grilled meat, Italian spice on the nose. Medium + density and mouthfeel. Acidity has died down quite a bit, allowing a floral dirty raspberry to show up front, losing a lot of sweetness. that I remember,Leathery and "bloody" in the middle. Finishes with some brambly herb, green olive, and a hint of black pepper spice. This wine is RIGHT at the top of the hill now. There are many 12 year old Chiantis that I would gladly pass on, but this one is a definite "yes please" even at 12 years of age. Ratings likely in the 8's because people just don't give this one the time that it needs. D — 7 years ago

I don't know what Jeanne d' Arc might say, but the taste of this wonderfully balanced, smokey, earthy wine was reminiscent of the semillon grape, and it paired quite well with cote de boeuf! Interesting green bottle to boot! — 8 years ago
