Rich inviting nose - earthy leathery and that classic Rioja bell pepper aroma, though it's more subtle and sophisticated. I'm impatient and haven't let this just uncorked bottle open up yet. Stay tuned! — 9 years ago

Discovered in my wine collection this 18 year old Tempranillo crianza from Altos de Rioja. Worried about having gone bad. As soon as as uncorked it knew it was fine. Cork was fine and got a burst of bouquet. Amazing for an inexpensive young Rioja to be so good. Smooth and velvety as Tempranillo should be. Good with grilled red snapper. Life is good. — 8 years ago
I've written about this wine before. Ron's wines never cease to amaze me. Uncorked and poured, at 1st glance it seemed extremely closed and unforgiving BUT give it 30 minutes and it blows up!!!! Lush dark fruit, some leather and on the back palate a touch chocolate. This is drinking like a badass rockstar., Big, bold & unapologetic but has a touch of class that seduces you into taking another sip....at which point the roller coaster starts all over again. Outstanding!! Just what I love in a Napa cab!! Buying a case is like having front row seats., you won't be disappointed!! 👌🍷🍷👌@Andrew Donovan @Megan Callahan — 9 years ago
People on this board seem to dislike this wine. Yes it is California rich and heavy I get that but it is also quite herbaceous which I find interesting. This wine has been sitting uncorked in the wine store for 2 days. It's alive and well. Relative big fruit, plums, spicy a really good deal for CA pinot. — 9 years ago
Controversial French winemaker Louis-Antoine Luyt delivers a #pais wine from 100+ year-old vines from Cauquenes in the Maule Valley. Funky and reduced after uncorked, a much-needed aeration (in a water jug, mind you) brought to life a juicy, tense and extremely refreshing wine. The liquid was totally opaque, bringing a new meaning to the words "unfiltered & unfined". I remember a couple of years ago having a heated debate with another Frenchman who was making a documentary about Luyt who told me how wines like this battle against the homogenisation of flavours. Not for everyone. You can find it with Louis/Dressner if in the USA. — 9 years ago
After being uncorked for a day this wine is utterly ... Delectable! Tannins disappeared, and the smooth red berry tastes were present. Still not worth $25-30. More like $17-20. — 10 years ago
Took some time to open, but great with food after an hour uncorked. Dark cherry and a lasting finish. Let's buy more! — 10 years ago

@David L @Carl Fischer @Ron R @Joe Lucca @Kirk Alexander Christine & I had dinner with my buddy Kirk and his beatific wife Veronica. I uncorked this one since it had been such a reliable pour the last time I opened it. However, in New York it had disappointed all of us. I am back to being disappointed. This is the type of bottle that you have to open by itself and not showcase it against any other as it will swiftly retreat into the shadows. Light on the palate, super short finish. This bottle came in dead last tonight. I can't believe the other that I opened impressed me that much that night. I don't do this often but I will knock it down to an 8.9. — 8 years ago

Great wine . Got it from the vineyard direct. Kept it for a few months . It was ready as soon as uncorked with deep color balanced dryness and perfect acidity. Recommend it ! — 12 years ago
Waited over a year to drink this wine.. Bought it in Paris during our honeymoon and was slated to be uncorked on our first wedding anniversary... Until, that is, Vivian came along! Good things come to those who wait! — 12 years ago
