Big producer, but a really stellar wine. Everything you'd want in a Chablis. Got this for $5 on the clearance shelf at an Albertsons. Kudos to the wine buyer, shame on you general wine buying public. If it said Chard on the label it would have been sold long ago. — 8 years ago

2020 drinking very well after a short decant - beautiful full body with a very persistent finish. Dark fruits, cassis, smoke and mineral / iron accents - great quality relative to the price — 5 months ago

Deep red color. Bright aromas and flavors of red berry/cassis fruit, wet soil, dark chocolate and baking spices. A pronounced vanilla note on the mid-palate. Well balanced but a bit short on the finish. Very smooth tannins. Young and fruit forward. Could benefit from additional bottle age. Thank you for sharing this one, Chris B! — 5 months ago

Floral nose, with complex palate. Slightly tart, with ripe tart cherries. While light, it has a more full mouth feel than expected. Quite nice! You won't find a Pinot like this anywhere else! Score 1 for the Russian River Valley! — 2 years ago

The 2019 Montrachet Grand Cru is a little oakier and creamier on the nose than its peers, yet with enormous depth of fruit that crashes over the olfactory senses. But perhaps it needs more delineation? It seems slightly later-picked than its peers, giving off light caramel notes. The palate is medium-bodied and hewn from a richer style of this Grand Cru. Slightly viscous in texture, dense and powerful, it doesn't quite possess the killer clarity and/or mineralité on the finish as the best in the flight. Impressive nonetheless, this is a Montrachet with real heft. Tasted blind at the Burgfest tasting. (Neal Martin, Vinous, December 2023)

Stunning. Marzipan, smoke, cheese rind, lemon, almond. Very clean and chiseled but with ample roundness on the finish. Should continue to evolve for some time — 5 months ago

Hello my friends and fellow wine lovers! The wine tonight is: Joseph Phelps cabernet sauvignon 2019. Black pepper and blackberry pie fresh out if the oven on the nose. At 14.5% abv, the palate begins with a thick rich dark berry and vanilla explosion. Then comes the black pepper, spice and everything nice. There is oak, a hint of cedar, cigar box, and graphite. Wow!!!! This is followed by an amazing hint of dark chocolate and mor graphite. This is a very mineral rich wine.  The finish is so dry my tongue and lips won’t open.  I have to have another sip immediately.!!!! This is by far the best wine I’ve had this year!! — 9 months ago

Выпито у Вадима Гитлина вечером 06.06.21 после визита в Пильницу семьи Ботеновских. Дома выпили 3 бутылки разных новозеландских совиньон бланов , а затем я рванул в гости к Вадиму. Ему этот молодой пино нуар 2019 года весьма понравился - видимо , это вообще его сорт винограда. Мне - спокойно. Очень хорошо поговорили по бизнесу. — 3 years ago

Always a joy to check in with Souhaut. This Syrah is in a better early drinking place, oddly enough, than the Gamay. Very pleasurable with nice tannic presence. — 7 years ago
