So polished with a layered texture, tobacco leaf, shoe polish, green tea, elegance & finesse come to mind. — 8 years ago

Insane wine. Petrol off the bat then leading into orange zest, citrus, peach and some honeyed notes. Mouthfeel (waxy/creamy) acid balance is mind blowing with plenty of salivation as per descriptor on back label. Loved it. — 8 years ago

Blackberry and meaty, soy with bay leaf and forest floor. Deep, dark, evolved, tannic but not mind bending. — 9 years ago

In my mind this smells the way gold would if it had a scent. Apple, peach and honey. Toffee, and hazelnut. Brilliant acidity. Brilliant wine. — 9 years ago

If you don't mind spending big bucks for a bottle of red I would highly recommend this wine. So smooth it goes down like jam! One of my favorites. — 9 years ago

The word that comes to mind when drinking this wine is POWER! Big blueberry/blackberry/plum fruit with hints of chocolate, coffee and licorice. Mint and dried spices on the finish. Even though it’s a full bodied powerhouse (15.5% alcohol) it is still elegant and well structured. The tannins are amazingly soft and the wine has wonderful depth. Great effort! — 6 years ago

The 2012 is absolutely mind blowing good. I decided to open a 13 to see how it would compare. It needs more time in the bottle. It wasn’t showing as I would have expected from this legendary vineyard. It was good but nowhere near as awesome as the 12. — 8 years ago

This wine was decanted at noon. 7 hours later, it is still going strong. Makes the standard Beaucastel taste like a Côte du Rhône. The old vine Mourvèdre gives so much savory bacon to the glass that it blows the mind away. The magnum was to much. Would have aged faster in a standard bottle. This could have waited another 10 years easily. — 9 years ago

My first time experiencing this wine and what a fantastic display of Bordeaux. Decanted four hours and drank over the next 4+. 50% Cab Franc and 50% Merlot and oh so sexy. Something about the blend that emits this fragrance that is very alluring...sandalwood and black currant come to mind. On the front of the palate gives a hint of BBQ smoke and cocoa with those flavors carrying through to reveal a sweet side. Finish that goes for well over a minute. After the 7th hour the wine had faded and closed. — 6 years ago

I had originally ordered a 2014 Rafanelli Zin, but when it turned out to be a 2015, I changed my mind and asked for the 2009 Ridge from the cellar list. A really lovely wine, and the owner/sommelier charged us the price for my original selection. Not a huge dollar amount, but a really classy gesture. We'll be back. — 8 years ago

Spring time pink roses come to mind when I first saw this fine light rose. Young strawberries and melon find my tastebuds.
Enjoy this refreshing Rose! — 8 years ago

Exceptional and pure immediately come to mind and are affirmed over 2-3 hours. This is Sangiovese Grosso in a very Burgundian, transparent and very pure expression.
A new producer of sorts, the earliest wines were in 2006 under this label from what I recall.

Being my first Stella the color is uncommonly lighter for a Brunello than you would expect.

The nose is pure, with elegant raspberry and strawberry fruits that meld with Earthy minerality, mushroom and spice into a beautiful, sensual perfume.

The palate continues the purity party, marrying a persistence and depth that reminds me again of Burgundy. A long finish carries the fruit, fresh acids and the fine, supple tannin.
As great as it is now, will it reach even more heights? Only time will tell.
