Clean and peppery, some red fruit, very light tannins. Drank lighter than a Pinot, but with enough body to satisfy. A winner. — 8 years ago

Lemon and lime with a sweet salinity, wild thyme, medium finish. Produced from grapes grown within a hundred feet of the Mediterranean near Riomaggiore. On the back in Italian it says "In the gold of the drop, the flavor is desire, a soul that travels in spirit and mystery." Sold! — 9 years ago

Paradise Springs a Local winery to me developed a well balanced Cabernet that could compete with any Napa Cabernet that I currently have in my wine cellar. Hitting all the necessary smokey tannins and with deep hints of tobaccos and rich flavors of blackberry. Hints of oak seep through the richness of the wine as the dryness of the Cabernet leave and echo of desire to drink more. Truly a wonderfully rich wine for such a local winery. A delectable red for an everyday drink of sorts. — 9 years ago

A fine example of why I search out Spanish reds when I don't want to spend a lot but desire a more complex and interesting wine. Spices, blackberries, graphite, black cherries...lingering finish...richer fruit with that touch of the land itself that I adore. A new favorite for sure. — 9 years ago

Trousseau, Jura...if you haven't tried it yet do it. This particular one was a really beautiful perfect representation of it. Elegant...which is great because this can sometimes be a challenging wine for people who aren't familiar with it. — 10 years ago

First bottle was corked. Took it back and exchanged it at my local wine store and they were more than happy to switch it out. After acquiring the new bottle, I let it breathe for approximately 16 hours before imbibing what was otherwise a fantastic wine. Large plum and blackberry notes brought this magenta toro to life. A hint of spice and mild tannins on the finish left a pleasant intrigue that only spurred the desire for a second, third, and fourth glass. — 9 years ago

power, youthful purple color for a 2003. Deep and powerful and energetic. Spearmint Raspberries, beets, rhubarb, a bit flat or simple, lacking the complexity I would desire from such a price point — 10 years ago

THIS... is... Seriously. Good. Phucking. shtuff. Surprisingly good...? Maybe. Luckily good..? Perhaps. Unless you've met Dirty: Which most of the wine drinking USA has -but, rather, intentionally fucking good. AND -possibly luckily too -as long as luck has something to do with exceptionally talented farming combined with tremendous desire(s) to make vibrant and ridiculously love-able fermented grape juice of pure integrity and a casually particular design. This wine is that friend you only get to see once a year, that one you cannot wait to see again. The wine is too young to rate with any opinion other than Rawesome, and while I've only had one bottle, I've certainly not had enough to offer an opinion against Rawsome -therefore tasting notes be damned -yet, this can be said: here is a clean wine, lacking brett or VA or other 'flaws'; a bright, refreshing jubilant anthem of untainted wine, an ode to a grape that will likely become California's bastard child once popularity hits and Dirty & Rowdy prices climb to astronomical, near Tempier-like pricing and ficcichlty to come by. (I liked ficcichlty over difficulty since spellcheck kept it purposely so did I.). Oh wait, they're already ficcichlt to come by. Damn it. — 12 years ago

Happy with this Tempranillo. It's not the blockbuster wine you may desire, but it pairs well with sushi and The People Vs. OJ. — 9 years ago

If I had one sentence to describe this wine, it is this: "Ca' Togni is the definition of desire." The vintage was a 2006, and let me tell ya, have the years been great to this mistress! Showing a deep brick red color, and a wine still showing all its wonderful fruits, with an expected maturity thrusting forth delightful complexity, this wine will make you love Black Hamburg! (Black Muscat) On the nose, notes of dried figs, dried rose petals, old leather, strawberry-rubarb jam, followed by a pallet of racy dark maraschino cherries, brown spices, and a vanilla finish. Phillip Togni is a hell of a wine maker out of Spring Mountain! I highly recommend trying one of these, even if it is $50, it was most certainly worth it! On top of that, it is 1 of only three wines he crafts, still in his 80's, still the king of the mountain. — 9 years ago

It has the typical boldness you desire in a Cab yet smooth at the same time. Yummy and very drinkable. — 10 years ago

We had this tonight in memory of our friend and winemaking colleague Eric Dunham of Dunham Cellars in Walla Walla who sadly passed away. I know it's not his wine, but I also know he would've loved its green chocolate nose and rambunctious berry flavors. Rest in peace ED. Say hello to Robert Mondavi! — 11 years ago
