Ethereal nose. So earthy, tarry, cherry, potting soil, so many nuances like dead leaves, chestnut, mineral, so good. Palate is gorgeous and so deep. Wonderful fruit and terrific acidity and freshness. Long and so deep. Wow. This is so so good. Opulent mid palate with massive fruit soak and still structure to burn. Brilliant. What a wine. — 6 years ago

Vending Tardive. One can make a case that in Alsace, where it is considered a Grand Cru-eligible grape, muscat gets more respect than in any other wine region. In this wine you can certainly taste why it deserves grand Cru status - perfect balance, great depth, subtle flavors and a level of sweetness that supports rather than overwhelms the fruit. Lovely rosé petal and honey notes With a refined Thai or Indian curry this will be exception, and with seared foie Gras? Off the chart. It deserves another couple of years in bottle but it will be hard to wait that long — 7 years ago

Delicious. I like the sharp alcohol burn in the 2015 but the 14 had a deeper complexity and long taste — 8 years ago

Very good Bourbon. A mild alcohol burn on the nose combined with a lot of cherry and honey, yet not heavily sweet.
That cherry really comes through when taking a sip. There's some almond and pecan, and a creamy milk chocolate that sits on the tongue.
I love the burn of it as it slides down my throat. Seems perfect to sip on on a cold winter day. I'd definitely get this again. — 9 years ago

For me it has easily been a year since the last time I experienced one of these. And wow let me tell you this one would STILL confuse me if I was blindfolded and asked to tell the year of vintage. I would have guessed 2014 or 2015. This wine is POWERFUL. Complex, deep, structure is massive. The nose of this wine is blackberry and dark chocolate. The entry is dark, deep blackberry, cassis, smokey. Middle has some mint chocolate chip, dates. Finishes strong, very youthful, immense amount of black pepper and still quite tannic. Still has 7-10 years in it. Drink 2018-2028 — 6 years ago

Color of leather got caramel or black tea. Nose of pure flagrant fermented grains, aldehyde, crayon, a bit apple, a bit oak, and a bit alcohol burn. The nose is very pure. Taste is smooth, silky, with more fruit note like baked apple, nice toffees, a bit peaty also. Aftertaste of zest and spice, with some more sweet note and flowering note. Very enjoyable. — 6 years ago

All I can say is "holy Cow" ... big 16.1% wine that after an hour has the burn but it's soft and full. Not as oil can heavy as some other valley floor zins but this one is a keeper with that Howell Mountain juice. Plenty of all the right fruit and spice - had with prime ribeye and grilled balsamic portabella mushrooms and hit the right spot for us for dinner and along with the peppermint bark after dinner as well :) — 7 years ago

2006. A bit of a burn with 14.9 ABV, but nicely, slightly lush, grapefruit, citrus, a touch of smoke, and white chocolate at the end. Nice treat for Thanksgiving. — 7 years ago

Wispy and aloft like that blonde girl with the short bob from 8th grade summer camp. But also, with some backbone, like that girl that told Nolan he was a bully and that he couldn't speak to me like that in the fourth grade. #TetherballPolitics. — 8 years ago

9.4

Extremely well-balanced wine. Oak but not too much, acidity in just the right amount, fruit forward but not overwhelming, and depth of flavor but not too fussy. Overall an excellent Chardonnay that makes me like Ernest Vineyards as much for its Chardonnay as its fantastic Pinot Noirs. — 8 years ago

Last night's wine.
Like someone burned the cookies. It was thick and chewy on my tongue like spiced Mexican champurrado with a little pepper burn on the back of my throat. Unripe cherries and lemongrass (yellow green) and something resembling licorice but not.
