Commanding and conversational Cab... Dark and Gothic in all ebbs... Gorgeous and shapely from initial sensory step to sip's summation. Scenic, its own language and phenolic rhetoric.. Sa propre histoire. — 9 years ago
No better riesling in the USA. I have had this bottle for about five years now. The amazing thing is that it doesn't taste like it's gotten any older - it's just even better. A knockout on the very first sip with a sizzling minerality of slate and gothic stone; I didn't know it was possible to get this kind of expression outside Germany. The style is a bone-dry GG style of riesling with acidity cutting like a samurai sword that would probably feel wincingly sharp if the wine weren't buzzing with so many other things going on. The fruit is pale and, like I said before, as fresh as a new release but calling it fruit at all may be stretching the concept, as it has the light and brightness of fruit but otherwise this wine is pure mineral, the flavors a study in stone and the texture like crunching on quartz crystals. — 10 years ago

Much more reasonable club shipment makes me love it even more. 2011, limited release.
In 1878, Fritz H. Rosenbaum, a German stained-glass merchant living in San Francisco, and his wife Johanna, built a modern Gothic-Victorian style home on a knoll north of St. Helena. This house is now the tasting room for St. Clement. The first wines were vented in the stone cellars beneath the house, and Johannaberg Cellars became one of the earliest bonded wineries in Napa Valley. This 2011 Cabernet gives a classic example of Napa Valley and flows across the palate with layers of dark, seamless fruit. It is a soft, textured wine graced with soft, supple tannins and a silky personality. — 11 years ago

This is listed here as a riesling but it's actually a gruner veltliner, 2003 vintage, one of the rare times they did this if not the only. I would say nobody would be able to peg this as a 2003 but I gave a blind pour to Peter Weygandt and he nailed it. Regardless, it's luminously bright and bracing, textured like rough gothic stone with sharp angles and spires. With air the fruit gets fuller and fleshier, taking on more primary pear-like and banana flavors and clean aloe cream scents. — 9 years ago
2008, I liked this powerful yet elegant super Tuscan from one of the more famous houses. The wine is inky black, it has a gothic nose full of cooked plums, cherries, raisins and sweet spices, the body is full a bit on the port side, but yet with lots of typical fresh Italian acidity, long long chewy finish. My score 89, drink 2013-2019 — 10 years ago
This 2014 Australian Viognier by Berton Vineyards is as good or better than their Sauvignon Blanc! A complex full-bodied and actually flavoursome alternative to Chardonay. Dry with flavors of apricot, citrus and peach. The citrus flavor lingers just enough to create a long finish. Great for anything, especially fish. I'm gonna try w a Sea Bass! 13.5% and perfect. Now I have to buy up the rest of these! I'm loving Australian whites❤️ p.s. The labels on their bottles Rock! Gothic, simplistic and secretive (which is why delectable cannot identify it, I suppose) — 10 years ago

Gothic. the sweet type. — 10 years ago
Extremely traditional, whole-cluster character; initially lean, but filling out with richness over time; whole-cluster influence arguably dominates Chambolle character, but purity and Gothic style are exceptional. Day 2: Chambolle silkiness and sweetness emerges along with fruit and floral. — 10 years ago
Really like this wine. Berries super velvety chocolate. Good marketing with the gothic label and black cork, the gimmick works on me! — 11 years ago
Cracked a bottle from our first vintage. The chard in the blend ages well and keeps it fresh and lively. — 11 years ago
