I dunno. Pretty quiet overall and specifically flat in the mid palate. Root day? Odd spot? I mean, the tart red fruit I expect is there, there's just no dynamic range. — 9 years ago

An alternative yet delicious take on Cabernet from a cooler region of California. The fruit is pure and dynamic, with high toned black berry and red plum notes. The wine lacks the tannins of it's Napa contemporaries but it makes up for that with much better acidity, price and elegance. This is a wine that will impress the wine nerds sick of tasting Cab after Cab after Cab that all taste like oak and juice.  — 10 years ago

Very dynamic. Smelled of fresh raspberries upon opening, 45 min. Of decanting brought on an overly ripe fruit forward aroma with good acidity, but not a fruit bomb like most Napa cabs. Smooth mouthfeel and slight tannins to finish. The second glass took on a smokey character full of spice but still silky smooth! Delicious birthday wine! — 11 years ago

Current vintage. 2004 sounds old but this tastes so young. So lively, bracing, and uncompromising. Racy, dynamic acidity makes the whole palate a bit inscrutable at first. I cannot overstate how much grip this wine has. Slowly, acid dissipates to reveal some true game and meat overtones. Petroleum, tannin, and tart fruit. Fabulous with Spanish cuisine. Although this was a lot for fun to try now, I'd recommend putting it in a dark part of your cellar for...Let's say 20 years. — 9 years ago

Comfort food. 3 out of 4 of us agreed this tasted of chocolate chip oatmeal raisin cookies. Nose was subdued with a hint of maturity but the taste had dynamic depth and went on and on. Awesome! 2009 — 10 years ago

Super clean, correct offering is giving me a layered, yet balanced profile. Furthermore, the organic/bio-dynamic build is refreshing to my conscience ;) — 13 years ago

Just a special experience. The nose was powerful and dynamic evolving beautifully over 30 minutes. A smokey phase, a pine phase, and a strong floral phase. The palate was balanced and smooth. The fruit was dead but resembled fruit leather. Two bottles opened, one had grip left, the other didn't. #moutonrothschild #grandcruclassé #2ndgrowth #bordeaux #pauillac #1928 #ctbucklinwine — 9 years ago

Never thought I'd be truly enjoying any Rioja. But this: un-oaked and made by a Frenchman is an astonishing expression of an undervalued & overworked terroir. Deep, dynamic, vibrant fucker. — 9 years ago

Frankly: I am surprised at how dynamic and Mâcon this is at 6+ years! It was said and chirpy as only wines with dry extract can be. Delicious with roasted potato leek soup -especially in this odd season between an Indian Summer and that penetrating November rain. Great tension here. — 10 years ago
