All the rich flavors of a great medeira, but dry, with just a touch of sweetness. Loved it, but have to admit my sweet tooth wanted a little more. — 6 years ago

Pretty boring label guys. Farmer designed label. Lovely deep rose petal color. Smells of red-black berries, petrichor, and nice flower soap. Flavor is explosive classic Merlot. Granite, blackberries, cherries and bittering herbs. Streak of licorice and liquor. This would go with red meats like nobodies business. — 5 years ago

I've always been "in like" with Gordon Estate, but never truly fell for their wines...until tonight.
The bouquet alone is worth the price of admission! Okay so here we go: Blackberries, red currants, cinnamon, roasted red peppers, kalamata olives, dark chocolate, blueberries, anise, and hints of clove and vanilla. (Breathe.)
The flavors are full of ripe, fleshy red and blue fruits with hints of skin tang to keep it focused.
I'm picking nits when I critique a finish that I believe should be longer, but if Jeff Gordon told me to, "Shut up, and enjoy the show" I would.
I will remember the night I enjoyed this wine, and if you have the opportunity to try some by all means do it!!! — 8 years ago
Beautiful nose of flowers and cream. Dark color. Great body of complexity with long finish. Almost fruity. 1998 17yr. Sherry solera cask in 1970. Gordon's tasting 8/25/16 special scotch. 43% ABV. — 9 years ago
Nostril notes of briny oysters, golden raisin, clover honey, burnt cedar, vine charcoal. Big palatal forefront of cinnamon roll, coffee cake, candied lemon and laquer in a complex, satisfyingly rich finish! — 9 years ago
I’m not familiar with Tempranillo, so I am unsure what its specific contribution to the wine is. I can only compare the wine to the Brothers and Sisters cabernet I’ve recently fallen in love with.
By George shares the same elegance as its sister wine, with a more savoury core, eschewing some sweetness and vibrancy, for darker more brooding flavours. Dark plum, cherry and dried blueberry fruits set the scene, but it’s the smoky cured meats, volcanic rock, cedar and tobacco on the mid and back palate that bring the party to life. It’s a flavour profile I haven’t encountered before, but I like it a lot. The soft tannins are well integrated, the balance slightly acidic, but not objectionable, lending a lingering spiciness to the finish.
Another Fox Gordon masterpiece. The love affair continues… — 9 years ago
