Doesn't escape the vintage for me. Ripe fruit. The creaminess doesn't help with its finesse. Nevertheless, the acidity and structure was excellent, and the touch of minerality was enjoyable. Decent Bourgogne Blanc, but I did expect more from this producer. — 6 years ago

Greywacke is Kevin Judd's present label, after serving as winemaker at Cloudy Bay and propelling the winery to global acclaim. The name Greywacke refers to a type of river stones found throughout New Zealand. At Greywacke, Judd proves to still be a master of Sauvignon Blanc, and his "Wild Sauvignon" is no excpetion. This is the apex of what oak-fermented New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc can be - one doesn’t lose the untethered audacity of its varietal character. Tactile and lengthy, it tastes of sesame seeds, grapefruit, thyme, parsley, green apple skin, and sea salt. Palate coating, but still feral and daring. — 7 years ago

This one took some getting used to. For such a different great it was hard to categorize the flavors. Typically you would say rustic for a wine like this but in reality I think it’s a lot more bold and daring than your typical Chardonnay or Chenin Blanc. People are so used to white wines that are unoffensive instead of interesting. As I drank this over the course of a dinner I developed a greater appreciation for its unripe melon and bracing yet mild acid. It was almost like eating spicy food with the whole mouth burn instead of a tip of your tongue burn. Would definitely drink again. — 6 years ago

Achingly pure, filigreed and delineated...not the words you associate with Roussillon wine. But old vines, careful bio viticulture and the daring to harvest at the precise arrival of ripeness (13%) make for a modern-day version of iron fist in velvet glove. And on top of all that, the Catalan qualities shine through more and more with each successive vintage. Fraises, bramble, confits of tiny red fruits and the persistent haunt of black, low pH schist. Extraordinary. #rocdesanges #grenache #carignane #roussillon #catalonia — 7 years ago

The sub $20 pinot world is a shambolic minefield filled with jack and the giant like flavors... 30ft tall cherry stems and tsunamis of sour apple, skin and rind. This is *not* that. Perhaps credit the Mendocino bones, but it has lovely notes of chalk and new leather. It's hard to fully escape the sweet-n-sour cherry at this price point and availability, but it doesn't lead with that. A moody, not bright, feel. So much better than what you usually get to choose from at this price. — 7 years ago

My preferred balance for Riesling -- dry with a hint of sweetness for a rich balance. — 6 years ago

Authentic aroma, acidities and tannins. As good as some of the most traditional producers in Barolo and Barbaresco. Can't escape the feeling that the structure is somewhat simple. — 6 years ago

Wow. @Steve Haro for the win! Another success by Caves Saint-Pierre. Smooth and silky, full of life. Lots of campfire, mint, and rhubarb flavors present. Persistent finish. This has to be your thing. For the daring, stock up! For the less daring, stick with your glass of Barefoot. 👣 — 7 years ago

Yum. Bought this bottle on 'Evacu-cation' during our escape from Calistoga wildfires to sunny Ojai. One of a few library wines scored from the Ojai Vineyard tasting room. Great example of California Chardonnay at its best. Shows restraint and reserve with invigorating acidity. Tasting great at this age. — 8 years ago
