Limestone, steel and a soft lemon mousse. Beautiful fruit with fine acidity. Long and classy. Surprisingly forward — 7 years ago

Fresh citrus & apple opening which becomes shorter over time and is replaced every half hour by subtle mid flavours ranging from extreme brioche, white pepper and nuts to flint. First ever, glad it didn’t disappoint! — 8 years ago

Lovely stuff. Lime and steel on the nose. Lovely poised middle. Loads of drive and good focus and length — 9 years ago

One of the better incarnations of Melville’s stainless steel-fermented chardonnay. Aromas of lemon peel, candied melon, and a trace of flint. Terrific acidity, with a nice evolution of flavors on the palate that serve to fill the wine out. Surprisingly lingering finish given the degree of acidity, which suggests to me that this wine is going to be very interesting for quite a few years. Great job by the team at Melville! — 9 years ago

A lovely greengage, lime, slate and honeysuckle nose. On the palate very clear, chalky, flint. A lovely savory palate. Incredibly there... Really beautifully balanced. Great stuff. — 10 years ago

My favorite white wine from Coppola's! 100% Viognier, single-vineyard. Fully stainless steel so nice and crisp. Tropical fruit flavors up front of pineapple, green apple, with a little mango and guava. Very refreshing! Chill this one and enjoy it on its own. — 11 years ago

Lemon, citrus, wet stone, oyster shell, gun flint, and saline notes. Love the tension in the ripeness of the vintage against the bracing acidity. Raveneau delivers again! — 11 years ago

Flint & Steel adds a crisp flinty backbone to classic Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. A lovely nose of honeysuckle, peach and grapefruit rind is followed by flavors of mango, kiwi, lemongrass & freshly squeezed grapefruit. The wine is medium bodied with a smooth and refreshing finish. — 12 years ago

Dry green fruit, flint, with a slight oak finish. A very nice Chablis. — 7 years ago

9.2

Lovely deep fruit. Very intense and coiled steel with buckets of minerality and drive. There’s a whiff of stewed apple here. I see premox on the horizon, but this is fun now. Should be better in 5 years but certainly not this bottle. — 8 years ago

$210, yes. Thankfully no signs of pre-mox. Slightly honeyed, reductive / gun flint nose that faded with air to smoke. Lime zest, peach, orange blossom, integrated smoke on palate. Great minerality and acidity, impressively long finish. Likely reaching peak soon. — 8 years ago

Very intense. Powerful gunpowder, flint, lime. A dazzling and broad midpalate. Really juicy and focused with none of the over-ripeness you sometimes see in 05. Killer. No signs of premox and will probably kick ass in 20 years on this showing. — 9 years ago

Extremely layered but delicate nose lets you know you are in for a treat. There's no kick of gooseberry or cat pee, funk or wool. Instead, a great balance between the signature gun smoke, flint and lit match, layered with extra clean lemon, lime, and grapefruit. Palate is rich and round, full of citrus fruit and a stream of acidity. — 10 years ago

Lemon lime, mineral, steely, flint in an austere style with racy acid. Killer Bourgogne Blanc! — 8 years ago

Ian Staub

9.0

Lush and delicious - stainless steel and concrete keep this honest, fruit driven and energetic. Still has a full almost creamy mouthfeel but driven by crystalline orchard fruit, smoky minerals, and piercing citrus acidity. Fresh, drinkable, but complex and worthy of pairing with a great meal. — 8 years ago

8.9

Such a tease, showing only momentary signs of an incredible aroma as the night progressed. Flowers, peach, quince, and toasty lemons come of mind. Even after a good 2 hour decant, the wine was still so tightly knitted. Not much fruit and full on flint as the name suggest. Searing acidity, lovely texture. Not fully convinced, but it sure does have great potential. — 10 years ago

03 was a inquire year in France especially in burgundy. This grand cru was awesome with that straw color and minerality that is in every raveneau. This wine took two hours to finally open.... Balance meyer lemon and a bit of flint.... Just don't make chablis like raveneau. — 11 years ago

9.2

Took a couple hours to open up then showed terrific gun flint minerality, bracing acidity and tangy lemon-lime fruit. Would lay off for a couple years before trying again when I suspect the components will be better integrated. — 12 years ago
