I love this Merlot. Welcome back you wonderful wine to the world that has forgotten you. This is a big merlot with a deep dark color and nose that strongly suggests tar, cigar box and all things hearty!! Long finish, luxurious....brilliant. — 8 years ago
Hard to give it dull@marks following a 2012 Darioush Cab, but otherwise quite nice. — 9 years ago

We’re tasting Pinots today and this was the overall favorite, although Darioush was a close runner up. Also tasted were Morey-St-Denis, chateau de la greffiere, stoller, and chehalem. Great afternoon. Loved the nose, the color, and the depth. — 7 years ago

Revisiting this one. We are picking up apricot and some slate-like minerals on the nose. Great tastes of peaches, apricot and red apple with a fantastic mouthfeel. Pairing very well with my blackened snapper and Lisa's Chicken Spinach salad. Very nice wine. — 9 years ago

2007 is one of the best white wines I’ve had — 7 years ago
Color me impressed by this baby Quintessa. For a 2015, this was amazingly accessible. Personally, I think this is the best Faust vintage I’ve had to date. Nose was more floral than jammy, with violets, blackberries, nutmeg and some blueberries. Well balanced and approachable on the palate, with a nice black cherry/blueberry finish.
As a side note, there is a new label change starting with the 2015. Almost looks like a Darioush label 🤔. — 7 years ago
The second 2013 napa cab I drank tonight and one I preferred over the Darioush. Great structure to this wine, fruit forward with notes of blueberries and licorice. Not as oaky as the other Napa cab, well balanced and tasting exquisitely right now. — 8 years ago
Not as good as the 2007 but you can say that about nearly every Napa winery. Still has a great nose and long finish. You can taste the balance and its really peaking. — 9 years ago
Drinking beautifully right now. — 11 years ago
Awesome Darioush wine. Grace and brute force. — 13 years ago

Similar to the Darioush, Del Dotto’s signature style comes through here with big and bold flavors. 6-7yrs on this has probably helped tone it down as it wasn’t super in the face. Good acidity. Baked mixed berry pie, cedar, peppercorn covered black cherries. Fairly sweet for a pinot. — 6 years ago
