Turley always brings the A game. I can't fathom how this can be 16.2% ABV; it doesn't taste hot at all. 2012 with Sandra and Trev. — 10 years ago
Pretty damn solid -- can't fathom $750 for their new releases, but this older, less stellar Napa year might be worth it. Incredible density and length. — 12 years ago
It was hard not to be both anxious and skeptical going into to this... I don't think there's many (if any) Cabernets from anywhere on the North Coast available under $100 that received a 97 from Robert Parker. Tasted over 7 hours with 6 friends and alongside the 2014 Venge Silencieux. The Venge was the favorite, unanimously. However, this was only a couple lengths back. A thick perfume of kirsch and cassis, with dusty character that follows through as licorice and smoke on the palate. A very good Cabernet, a great example of Alexander Valley, and an extraordinary value. I just can't fathom this is better than 4 out of the 8 Cabernets produced by Schrader in 2014 that Parker scored 94-96. — 8 years ago
Was impressed and surprised by this white blend. The perfect table wine for a summer lunch. — 10 years ago
Amazing rich nose, still some subtle acid. Could go for another eight plus years. — 10 years ago
14 years did this wine good. Smooth, rich dark berry, breathing in vanilla and caramel. — 8 years ago
Could not fathom a white blend as good. Exceptional build on all fronts. Honeysuckle, fig and quince. Far more complexity than words can articulate. That's why it's served last during a tasting! Palate filled with brioche, slight frame of cream and white peach. Follows through with a defined finish displaying pinpoint acidity. Wonderful! One of the best I've tasted. — 9 years ago
Supposedly this vintage can last 50 years. I'd be 85. I can't imagine what that would be like, nor is my palate advanced enough to fathom what this wine will be like in 2062. Cheers to hopefully finding out. — 10 years ago

A great surprise. Did not expect to find a wine with a delicious taste of juicy citrus and flowers, but also seemed to show a sense of place. I cannot fathom why there is so little Aligoté left in Burgundy. — 8 years ago
