Insanely rich and textured. Essential oil on the nose with verbena, butterscotch, and oak. This is a massively endowed wine that requires at least half a decade in the cellar. Even if it is not my style, It's so well made... just have to appreciate it — 7 years ago

Incredibly intense nutty and zesty palate. Like a gastrique in terms of intensity. Pure, essential liquid. Kind of amazing given the age — 8 years ago

Another reminder, as if I need one, as to how superior French wines can be to just about any other place. I dare anyone to find a $20. Bottle of wine anywhere in the new world that has this level of finesse and complexity. Aromas of grilled cherries, charcoal,meats , and iron. Light bodied but full of nuanced facets. Expresses apples, cherries, raspberries, black minerals, iron filings. A true example of how terroir is the essential aspect of great wines. — 8 years ago

Fantastic rose, great acid, medium plus body, and just the right amount of fruit. Terrific — 9 years ago

Although often decent - I found that little red village Burgundies possess the unique elements of their superstar siblings. This one did - albeit in subtle hints, like the silent yet essential intro to a full blown concerto. This was very very good, yet most of all it made me long for a “normal” New Year’s Eve. — 5 years ago

Honestly did not expect much from this vintage but WOW did this deliver the goods. Yes, somewhat lean from the growing conditions yet this wine packs tremendous essential oil aromas, citrus notes, chalk. Very pale color. Bright, crisp and clean; a delicious CH. This will go for many.... many years more. — 6 years ago

Just a classic old-school Oregon Pinot Noir. Absolutely essential. This was the most structured of the St.Innocent 2014 offerings. Picked up a couple for a long nap in the cellar & looking forward to what it's like at age 8 or so. — 8 years ago

The essential character of BF is in its clarity, lightness....ethereal. This 2007 starts with a bit of smoke, stoneyness, and bright fruit of red berries. On the tongue the fruit speaks clearly of cherries. Then there is strawberry, spice, and very light tannins. The finish is long. I believe the fruit is slightly bigger than more recent vintages. Recalling that 2007 was a difficult year, makes this wine quite an achievement. — 8 years ago

So this guy Möbitz is essential a freak. He works at Novartis a PHARMA COMPANY and makes wine on the side. 500 / 800 bottles of Kanzel and Knöpfle. And what can say - His wines are Awesome💕. I want to thank Lyle Fass to bring these to the US and I think together with Enderle and Moll (which are more herbaceous) these have to be the best Pinots on the Planet forget DRC.
Minty nose. Relative dark color. Then a ridiculous potpourri of flavors. Blackberry ok that is trivial but what else- cherry trival too - thyme, Boysenberry, hint of rose - sour apple gummibears - VERY long. — 9 years ago

Mr Roth always insists on the essential nature of Cab Franc, it’s place in the world being nearly perfect. Good extraction, complete fruit on palette. Actually had it with Jory’s version of razor clams on black rossetto.....cold fresh English pea soup infused with local lump crab. — 5 years ago

Lemon-lime, slight oak, essential oil aromas and noticeably linear in presentation yet with more depth and length than the Folatieres. Lovely for an ‘11. — 7 years ago

Missing only that essential element for yummiest Rioja....time! Very good now, whenever the tannins soften up will be great. At least 7-8 yrs. — 8 years ago

9.1

Rustic fare is essential for such a shadowy grove. Cypress informs rosemary, smoked black salt, anise and prune ethereally. Cedar-heavy entry backs down to dense boysenberry, licorice-tinged blackberry that oozes through the finish spilling into a valley full of violets with veins full of sweet tar. — 9 years ago

Fantastic, really the essential Italian wine. The dried grapes are the predominant flavor, with a beautiful complexity, really leaving you with a taste for more. — 9 years ago
