A rich deep Ruby red with aromas of dark berry fruit, and rustic spices. The 100% Pinot Noir wine was aged on French oak for 14 months, (35% new) before bottling in December 2015. On the palate, the wine was medium+ in weight and shows sweet cherry, plum and blackberry. The Pinot had velvet tannins encircled by lively acidity and a touch of pepper and gentle oak giving the wine tremendous depth and balance. An elegant wine that with great length on the finish. Extraordinary! Only 828 cases were produced! — 10 years ago

First time I see anything from them in Boston.A decent Saison, with raisins and faint cloves overtones on top of hay and grass. I hope the rest of their stuff is significantly better — 11 years ago

First glass was a taste so the rest could sit open for a bit. Impressed with the berry flavors and a little spice. Didn't taste earthy at all. It had a silky smooth taste which matched the aroma and color. Hint of vanilla smell. Really enjoyed this wine and would buy again! — 11 years ago

Rays of sunshine. Candle wax, strawberry hard candy. High- acidity, light body, finishes with a thin string of light berry sweetness. Top 2 rose, up there with Lopez which it shares a certain waxy quality. — 12 years ago

This will take a bunch of you by surprise but this is my absolute first bottle of 2012 edge Hill Bacigaluppi that did not literally blow my mind! I consider this one of the top five Chardonnays that I have ever had from Napa and I’ve had a lot of Chardonnays from Napa! It was not Corked but definitely fell 100% flat tonight. No depth, no structure simply fruit. I had friends at the house and was trying to impress them But literally threw this bottle down the drain and open to something else. Oh well, shit happens as they say! @David L @Shawn R @Joe Lucca @Mike R @Ron R @Howard Greenfield @Shay A — 8 years ago

Lovely straw green/gold color with lots of glycerin. At eight years this wine is full of CHARDONNY flavors without oak tones. With salmon this was a good match. Stony Hill produces pure top quality CHARDONNY . Kudos to Mike Chelini and his wine making skills. — 9 years ago

Amazing how unique these three wines are. There are obviously, in the grand scheme of things, more similarities than differences between them, but the differences are tangible. For 2015, the VH has dark explosive nose, somewhat gritty tannins, and ripe dark berry core. — 9 years ago

It's hard to know what perfection in cab Franc taste like… But this is a bold expression of carefully grown, micro-lot produced CF. in Virginia, there is a lot of latitude and this one is volume and equalizer on 10s! What is amazing about this is how it opened up and improved with air… Like a big block before and after nitrous! — 10 years ago

Beautiful berry flavors layered over hints of mint with lovely tannic structure. 2005 was a great year for winemaker Dave Polite! And I'm not usually a Pinot lover for anything but great French burgundies! — 11 years ago
