This wine is very well-made, it’s soft spoken, medium-body, but full of lush fruit, great finish, surprisingly long for a Chorey. Immediately pretty and feminine, with a nose dominated by small red fruits (raspberry, Morello cherry) and black fruits (blackberry) set off by note of liquorice and underbrush. With air it evolves towards strawberry preserves and gingerbread with light game and leather notes. It is well-built with noticeably elegant tannins. — 8 years ago

A very dark wine, the Cornerstone Oakville Station Merlot has aromas and flavors to match. The nose shows black fruit - the blacker, the better - and it is draped in smoke, herbs and spices. Sage and cinnamon join the smokey cover and provide a complex set of smells. The blackberry flavor is huge, with cinnamon, nutmeg, black olives and dusty sage competing for attention. With all that going on, it is still the fruit that dominates.

Tear up the vintage chart, this might be the best young rosé I have had from Roederer. Cinnamon's fantastic Bo Saam was a perfect match. Virile minerality from north facing Chouilly Chardonnay set off the delicate, ultra fine strawberry fruit of the Cumieres Pinot. Wow JBL- you know how to do it! — 9 years ago

The wine is very dark - almost no light gets through when held to a lamp. Aromas of dark fruit and the subtle sense of earth make for an underplayed nose. On the palate, plums and blackberries meet minerals and black olives for a game of "sweet or savory." The match is a draw. The tannins are temperate and the acidity makes the mouth water. — 10 years ago

Game changer. Set aside everything you've pretty much ever thought about Zinfandel. Pairs especially well with remote mountain cabins, scrabble, and your special someone. — 10 years ago

The '08 Clos Mogador Garnacha Blend from Priorat was a nice match with a charred rare ribeye. Aromas of blackberry, game and wood smoke lead to a most pleasant midpalate. A beautifully balanced wine that hits on all cylinders. Noticeable tannins, layered fruit, and a lingering finish make for a most impressive wine. — 12 years ago

A bold bloody red Pinot light on nose but bountiful in the glass not perfumed but bold and substantive this would match game or any red meat burgundy and its many communes are blessed — 10 years ago

didn't know I had this wine--was rummaging through the cellar looking for a match for game hens. This is a super wine at peak but one that will last--gorgeous creamy lemon, nuts, stone fruit that carries its acidity beautifully, great balance and length. Depth is considerable, almost oily. Finish is endless. Very classy wine in the Boillot mold--what a great vigneron. — 10 years ago
