A splendid and intense nose of black currant and wet earth. Some secondary aromas there too: smokiness, a bit of oak and roasted coffee beans. The palate is great even upon opening the bottle: red and black fruits + a slight saltiness on the horizontal dimension, a nice acid frame which makes the wine go longer and longer. This is a really good wine and a superb value (13€). Should have bought by dozen — 9 years ago

From Pisoni's (excellent) second label Lucia, this was part of a three bottle horizontal consisting of the 2011 Santa Lucia Highlands, Garys' Vineyard, and Soberanes Vineyard offerings. The Garys' was definitely drinking the best, but I suspect this one will ultimately surpass it. Right now it's a bit too closed and probably should have been decanted. All three wines were terrific, though (not at the level of the Pisoni Estate, but still excellent wines). — 10 years ago

Had this about a year ago and it was the second one in a month that I had enjoyed. The first was during a horizontal of 1982 Bordeaux tasting and believe it or not this was one of the stars of the night with Margaux being the top dog. — 12 years ago
Part of a 2005 horizontal of Arnaud Ente's Meursaults. This was a great balance of mineral and fruit, with just enough butter coating. — 8 years ago
Beautiful. Part of a horizontal of Selosse. — 9 years ago
horizontal with branaire pretty gd but better day 2 than 1 — 9 years ago
I usual like this wine very well, but today the oak was obtrusive and covered some of the fruit/soil elements I hoped to find here. Third best in a blind, horizontal tasting of top 2010s from our book. — 10 years ago
Part of a horizontal tasting of Central Coast mourvedre at our Wine Party, this wine is typical of the great stuff Ryan Pease is doing at his label Paix sur Terre. I don't know how he manages to produce such an elegant wine from 100% mourvedre, but that's exactly what this wine is: elegant. Beautiful fruit, with smooth, sweet tannins that just dance on the palate. Great stuff! — 10 years ago

Not my fav year but shone bright compared to other 2009 horizontal flight. — 10 years ago
Decent, but the legend of Heidi wasn't shown here to it's fullest. I had the Amuse Bouche 2014 Horizontal together. Very linear, with florals throughout start to finish. The Syrah was greatly suppressed, with Merlot taking front and center, but lacked the velvety texture I would hope for from that style. — 9 years ago
Dense, packed, powerful, embryonic and yet one can see what an elegant wine this will be with time in the cellar. My second favorite, at the moment, of a blind, horizontal tasting of top wines from the 2010 vintage in our book. — 10 years ago
Wine 1/6 of a Bordeaux second label horizontal tasted blind. Wines were difficult to distinguish given age and vintage however the noses helped to differentiate. Petit Verdot on the nose then classic berry. Easily confused with the three Paulliacs in the tasting. Surprisingly good - my first time with this wine. Intriguing and compelling.

Part of a 2005 horizontal of Arnaud Ente's Meursaults. Lots of tropical fruit notes in this Meursault with a strong mineral backbone. Not my fav style of Meursault, but this is good! — 8 years ago
