135. Smells nice too. Also smooth and balanced. No sourness in this one like Chimney Rock. But I said both are good. First sample of this I rated it a 9.0. But once I had the Old Acre and came back to this I thought this was even better than OA. I thought it was even smoother than it. This was the winner in the tasting today. — 9 years ago

another two years since I opened the other bottle certainly mellowed this beast out. — 11 years ago

A salty, tart finish that sets it apart from a provençal counterpart. — 9 years ago
Bloody good. It had to be as it cost the price of a small duchy.
I have a whole bottle of this greatness with me. Not a good idea.
Taste is sort of dry, not sweet and not bitter...all in equal mix. Taste of lots of stuff. It's been through different cask apparently. Bourbon, Madeira, Port...
Lovely aroma. Doesn't come to hit you right back. — 9 years ago
Super sexy and elegant. Great acid and tart cherry. — 10 years ago
Rich, as advertised. Not as much fruit as might be expected. — 11 years ago

Drank alongside 4 other sparkling wines and this was the winner! — 11 years ago
100 percent Syrah from Red Mountain. Delicious, light to medium bodied. Apparently hard to get distributed, but worth it! — 12 years ago
Really flavorful, touch on the sweet side but it tastes like flowers and there's nothing that I don't like about it. Simple and good. No clue where I'll find it again. — 12 years ago

This was still just so young. Starting to soften but not into development yet. Plenty of rutherford dust and very drying tannins but I wish I could have decanted this for several hours. — 8 years ago
