I fell in love with this supple soft-bodied Pinot a few years ago. It has a great nose of Pinot and a lasting and constant flavor throughout. Soft dark cherries and half way between new and old world this wine is great to me. Drinking it while eating delicious chicken pot pie...I am in heaven. Trust me that this pairing will make you want to have it over and over again. — 7 years ago

This is a really great wine- and I think it can go further- curious to see how my other bottles condition to 2019. This producer is amazing and their property and vines are incredible! All they produc is 199% enjoyable- this particular vintage and reserve is exceptional - deep ruby color- strong fruit and nice wood on it from - but ultimately it’s the bottle conditioning that has done the most service on this wine. I opened in September 2017- the wine was fantastic and th cork crumbled upon opening. The wines have been cellared in constant conditions- and I still think this wine can go to 2019- I’ll recap- but all in all a really class wine that shows uniqueness! — 8 years ago

Drinking really well. It's a big wine but shows elegance as well. Asian plum, hoisin, rubber and cherry on the nose. Really opens with an hour of air and shows perfume with rose petals... the Asian spice remains constant — 8 years ago

Wow. Just kept changing. What was constant was the high acidity. This wine has plenty of legs left in it. Think key lime and floral notes at the open. Shifts gears and shows a lot of tropical notes like just ripe pineapple. Good body. — 10 years ago

Accidentally found a lost bottle of this vintage 2004 in the basement - in a carton since about 2006. (Solid blaufränkisch no-question but not something you’d call age-worthy, also need to mention the terrible storage circumstances with constant temperature and humidity changes for more than 10 years!).
Definitely past its prime some years ago but still very interesting. Lacks fruit. Acidity i would say medium +, tannins very soft and integrated. But not really in balance, overall very overaged aroma profile. Still interesting. Violet, reminiscent of pepper and plum, some oak and leather. — 7 years ago

Great St Em in every vintage I've had & this £42 08 is drinking lovely 👍 but wow it's a mineral terroir monster 😈

🍷 Dark ruby

👃 Gravel flinty wet fresh minerals & pencil lead w/ a touch of farmyard through fresh herbs & leather into light dark plum & watered black fruits

👄 Med body of stoney intense dominant minerals into light black fruits with a mineral constant rocky infusion

🎯 Mineral driven soft dark black fruits in a med+ finish w/ a touch dryness — 8 years ago

By the end of night one the cerebral roller coaster ride left me bewildered. Despite being guilty of infanticide, the wine was not necessarily closed for business. Rather, it was like tasting four or five different wines over a few hours. A darker than usual kirsch provides a canvas for the swirling plethora of flowers, herbs, meat, and earth, with a distinctly saline minerality (which might be the only constant here). By night two it reached its destination of charmingly pleasurable and no longer required as much thought, thankfully. — 8 years ago

Pulled up to the wine store . It’s 80 degrees . There door is open . Oh no . They clearly aren’t supporters of keeping wine at a constant temp . What can I do I am desperate and there isn’t another wine store around for miles. This bottle catches my eye but it’s a 2013 how good could it still be not being treated right in this open door wine store . To my surprise it was delicious . Caramel. Cashews . Great color . Harvest fall apples. What a great surprise . — 8 years ago

Remarkable evening last night at VHR sponsored tasting of the 2014 vintage VHR. Heather and Bruce (@Bruce Phillips) hosted a lovely evening for the VHR faithful popping a Shramsburg Champagne toast with heavy appetizers followed by comparison of the 2012 and new 2014 vintages. Notes for 2014: Obviously young, but the aromatics hitting the nose are alive and run the continuum of all the green leaves in your spice drawer mixed together. Heavy mouth feel with flavor from the darker end of the spectrum: licorice, dates, tobacco. Finish is long and constant. Will be interesting to see how this one changes over time. — 9 years ago
