Là c'est du lourd. Avec une viande rouge ou du fromage, l' ensemble est tout de suite très harmonieux autour d' une jolie couleur — 8 years ago

Never heard of and can't pronounce the variety (Rkaciteli), and couldn't identify Macedonia on a map, so obviously had to try it. Really good! Distinct lemon-lime nose and flavors, almost like a bone-dry Sprite, lots of refreshing acid, very light and clean on the finish. One-dimensional in a good way, just fresh-squeezed citrus and not much else. The simple pure citrus character meant that it worked with lots of different food flavors, from salad to meat. Don't think we'll grow Rkaciteli in Napa, but it opened my eyes to the merit of a simple but very pure wine with a meal, like a cocktail ingredient rather than a complete ensemble. — 9 years ago

Restrained yet forceful. A powerhouse of minerality and acidic drive. Fruit in the background, a real ensemble beauty. Oh, and paired exquisitely with hapu upu'u, fresh turmeric, coconut milk, ginger, purple sweet potato awesomeness. — 11 years ago

Truly a blend you taste as an ensemble. Individual grapes do. It stand out. — 8 years ago

Well defined example of mountain fruit based Cabernet. Nose that exudes molten milk chocolate and cassis. Blueberries and a ensemble of dark berries take the mouth. Finish is long and balanced with soft tannins. — 8 years ago

Cassis and dark dusty fruit in the nose. Restrained on the palate, something like just underripe plum. A very enjoyable, understated Mendocino Syrah where many members of the class are happy to blow out your sinus. — 9 years ago

Wifey went to see the rents for the weekend. I was left with no choice, but to hunt and provide for myself. Cooked a beef bolognese with jacket potatoes. Paired with a brilliant bottle of juice, gifted by @David L. Having just submitted a major stats assignment, I'm getting back to honing my mortal kombat skills 🙂
From the nose, it's immediately apparent that this is not your typical, extravagant cab. It's much more restrained, tilting more toward a Bdx, than Napa. Aromatics offer up notes of coffee, black tea and kirsch. The palette is perfectly proportioned with black cherries, a hint of licorice and herbs. The ensemble is completed with with plush tannins, poise, balance and grace. It doesn't require food, but it shows great flexibility with it. No hurry to drink this. It has another 7 years of runway ahead of it. 14.7 abv.
David and Kirsten - thank you so much. — 8 years ago

Wtf! Amazing Rhone blend. Never would guess the age. So alive. Purchased at winery in 2001! Paired with braised lamb shank, Rancho Gordo beans and asparagus. Crazy good... — 9 years ago

Vacqueyras doesn't ever get the credit it deserves. This one shows extreme finesse. This example displays the savory end of Grenache with dried black cherry and hints of prune. But there's definitely an underlying herbal kick, not the pyrazine inspired kind, but more Of what you'd find in Provence. A beautiful ensemble with considerable complexity. — 10 years ago

One of the most delicious whites I've had in a while. This has a scent of pears and blackberries and the taste of a richly aged berry ensemble of forest floor goodies! — 11 years ago
