This is the ultimate red wine!! 😍 You taste the fruit as soon as it hits your tongue. Has a smooth finish. This definitely is a mislabel because their is no end to the hope in this bottle. #Perfect10 — 8 years ago
Smells like a sauv blank but classic off-dry Riesling on palate. Hammer don't hurt 'em — 10 years ago

Just perfect. Light color, but lots of depth in flavor. Red berries and Central Otago dirt. Strong sense of terroir and place. Perfect balance. And so, so drinkable. — 6 years ago
Not nearly as sweet as previous vintages (thank God). Fruity, slightly floral, and chalky aromatics. Strong berry fruit and minerality for taste and a crisp finish. I'm currently at a Rose tasting party, and so far this is my fav; I hope it's not sold out. 70% Syrah 18% Grenache 12% Mourvedre — 7 years ago

When you hike in the Finger Lakes, you can easily think you're in Burgundy or Alsace. The topography is very close and the climate is just a little more continental. So the choice of grape varieties follows naturally. Pear, apple, and a little pineapple fruit come across in this wine. It has some stony and steely minerality, but less than typical for this region. There's a lot of vanilla and butter, with smoke and oak. These latter elements are too strong in my opinion. And the acidity is a little too weak. If that and the fruit were stronger this would be on par with Chablis. So it's a little off balance. But I enjoyed it very much with a salmon salad. — 9 years ago

Nice white blend, not too dry and not too sweet. Refreshing for a summer glass. — 10 years ago
Very dry, mild tannins, hints of caramel/umami in the body, crisp finish. No coarseness — 11 years ago
$15. Great everyday wine!! Available thru Ecluse. — 12 years ago
The 2010 Esprit de Beaucastel from Tablas Creek was a tough act to follow, but this elegant Rhône blend from Sonoma just did that.
The nose was quite similar with aroma of blue fruits and earthy elements with hint of violet, it was the palate that set it apart: soft, complex and deep, with great texture and beautiful acidity that adds the tension. Elegant and seamless.
Kale Anderson was the long time wine maker at Pahlmeyer, and Kale wines are all vineyard-specific. Worth seeking out. — 6 years ago
Had this with a nice creamy cheese and fruit/nut crackers (slightly sweet) and it was all delicious. — 7 years ago
Very good. Great bouquet, flavor and finish. Worth the $16. Definitely a repeat purchase. — 7 years ago
Good body, sweet at the front, dry finish, fruity notes — 8 years ago
Really solid and surprisingly special Pinot Gris here. Nice muted tropical aromas that don't attack with tutti fruitiness but offer a nice freshness.
Rounded mouthfeel with lip smacking acidity. Truly impressed by this effort. — 10 years ago
Had this with a German Riesling. Lighter in color a little more alcohol 12.5%. Nice easy drinking wine — 10 years ago
2010 Freedom Run #Meritage #Merlot #CabFranc #CabSauv #NiagaraEscarpment #NYWine. Lively, black cherry, cassis & wild berry intertwined with spicy vanilla, tobacco and a whiff of earth. Perhaps a little reminiscent of right bank #Bordeaux from a warm vintage. #wine #sommelier #sommlife — 10 years ago
