Committed. Dedicated to its pumpkin foundations. Whilst reaching this I was reduced to the very oak upon which I was built: reminded of a summer I spent in Santiago with my great grandfather who was 100 years old. Argentinian legend. — 10 years ago

This wine reminds me distinctly of a Muscat my grandfather produced in 2010; and the color is the first indication. Obvious extended skin contact, but low enough extraction to reach a lite-honey color. The nose is pungent and intense with tangerine skin wrapped in wild, homemade perfumes. The mouthfeel is giving yet tense, with slightly underripe mandarin orange and a twist of lime. Interesting wine. Authentic wine. — 11 years ago

Leclapart L'Apôtre is amazing...15000 bts only, its clear, fresh, mineral, with multi layers of flavors and with an acidity to join any aperitiv or any kind of food. Produced from vines planted in 1946 by David's grandfather, its really something these bubbles. — 10 years ago

I am the sort of wine snob that will prefer my family's livelihood over all others. This was the last year my grandfather saw his vines, but didn't see the harvest. — 10 years ago

I enjoyed this bottle with family including my great uncle Peter (my grandfather Roberts brother) who just turned 100 yesterday! He is the last Mondavi of his generation... He fought in World War II and innovated cold fermentations... He is still all there and misses the old wines of yesteryear when it was normal to find wines of 12.5 to 13.5 % Alc. Classic... He is classic. Happy birthday Peter! — 11 years ago
