A bit funky to start...after decanting, lovely gravel, earth, and somewhat of a metallic strawberry. It's a pretty wine, solid structure, and everything you want in a Gamay!! Must try! Make sure you decant...only gets better! Usually don't gush like this, but it's a beautiful wine. Thank you Noe Valley Wine Merchants! — 9 years ago

Gush of fruit at the front end. Cherry is notable as well as more dark fruit that carries well to the middle palette and smooth smooth lingering warm finish. — 9 years ago

2012 Patton Valley Vineyard Queen Bee - Blackberries, cherry cola, and hints of black trumpet mushrooms. Black cherries, blackberries, cinnamon and mace gush on the tongue. Black currants, vanilla, and field mushrooms fill out the mid-palate, with a rather short finish of cola and grapefruit pith. — 9 years ago

A magnificent young wine, the powerful and gifted 2011 Altocedro Malbec Gran Reserva simply takes over the palate and demand attention. Not just another ultra rich wine, this one has the undeniable soul of the ages. Made from vines that are over 100 years old, one gets the sense of place. Drawn from La Consulta in the Valle de Uco from the vast district of Mendoza, this wine stand proudly on the international stage! Black currants, tar and earth gush out as soon as the wine hits the glass. This is one of my top wines of the year! #malbec #argentina #redwine #mendoza #valledeuco #laconsulta #altocedro #karimmussisaffie — 11 years ago

Have I said enough nice things of late about Barolo? Well if not here comes another full frontal gush. This bottle, courtesy of Suzanne Yurdin, was a true treat. Aroma, taste and color were exceptional. I'll have to get another bottle soon to return the favor! — 8 years ago

This is a very nice Cabernet Franc from Israel.

Dark ruby/ purple in color with a purple rim.

Very nice on the nose with blackberries, figs, vanilla, blueberries, oak, licorice, cherry marmalade, wildflowers and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and nice legs.

Dry and spicy on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, oak, vanilla, dark chocolate and black pepper.

Long finish with big, round tannins and black pepper.

This is a gorgeous, elegant and complex wine.
The grapes are from a cooler climate area at an altitude of 2700 feet. Matured for 21 months in French oak barrels.

I enjoyed it first by itself, and then with beef stew and roasted potatoes.

2013 Walter Scott X Novo Vineyard Chardonnay - heavy reduction and petrol on the nose, with fresh mangoes and pineapple coming through. Youth and life gush onto the tongue with green apples, lychee, and limeade. White pepper arrives mid-palate with hints of juniper. A spicy, peppery finish that goes! A favorite! #0regonChardonnaySymposium — 9 years ago

Dark older color, viscous, crazy nose! Dates, coconut, almond, figs, dark chocolate, smoke and spice! Nice tannin that's not harsh. - I must say that I believe it has plateaued...drink up! — 8 years ago

Long, satisfying finish with limes.

Wow. 2008 Peters. I could have waited another 5 years on this or more. Nose is just pure fruit, maybe a tad sweet for some, but I find it to be in perfect balance with the acid, tannin and fruit. The flavor to@me is more raspberry than cherry. Tannin is in the background with the fruit and acid playing against one another. I hate to gush much but this is really good, maybe just a personal preference. — 9 years ago

When a wine finally has its moment. Have visited @wieninger's 2009 Nussberg Alte Reben Wiener Gemischter Satz for three years hoping for it to crack open and gush forth with giving fruit, minerals, textural play. It has. It's ready, folks! #wienerwein — 9 years ago

Opened for three days, revealing peppercorn, salinity and smokehouse on the nose. Dark plums and cherries gush onto the tongue, giving way to Kalamata olives, caraway, anise, mushrooms, and fertile soils. Great finish of rich, raw meat and dark chocolate. — 10 years ago

An underrated Nebbiolo wine from Piemonte. Dried rose petals, alpine herbs, bright acidity, fine tannins and mineral driven *gush* — 12 years ago
