Wow, acid is here and that's for sure. Utterly refreshing, peppery lime nose. Grapefruit, gave, bitter lime but all very balanced. I could drink a bucket. — 8 years ago

Exciting to try this new(ish) project from TRB. He is making a Napa and an SV under this label and it’s a real winner. Among the best cabs we tasted all day and even better when the bottle was finished with a steak at dinner. — 8 years ago

Unbelievable wine right now. Silky smooth to the finish and still jammy in flavor after all this time in the bottle 🙏🏻 — 10 years ago

Much more reserved than Dave Phinney’s Zinfandels (which I love) not overpowering you with fruits. This one from Regusci gives you blue berries vanillas and hints of chocolate. If you’ve drank any of Regusci’s cabs you know instantly that this is from the same winery. — 7 years ago

I like this producer and the Patriarch. However, as smooth, elegant and beautiful this 11 is tonight, It's short on body, a little concentration and a fair amount of structure from what this producer does in good years. It more the 2011 vintage (bad spring fruit set, cool summer temps and October rains for those producers that waited to pick) than the winemaker. On the nose; ripe plums, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, raspberries, strawberry liqueur notes, lots of baking spices, violets, volcanic minerals and dark & milk chocolate. The body is M with M-M+ tannins. Plums, blackberries, dark cherries, black raspberries, raspberries, boysenberries, strawberry liqueur notes, lots of baking spices, violets, volcanic minerals and dark & milk chocolate, mocha, light caramel, crushed dry rock powder, suede style leather, light spice, nice acidity and a good ripe fruit driven finish that simply lacks the structure & some concentration that you normally get from this producer & vineyard. 2011 is definitely not a long-term cellar. 8-15 years in most cases...a little longer with the very high-end producers. — 9 years ago

Awesome complex pinot. Jim Clendenon's never done me wrong. Aromatic, perfumy, racy floral nose- rose, orange blossom, mushrooms, cedar, sap, dried orange peel. Palate is rich in depth opening with pomegranate, dried fig, tart strawberry, leading into hints of firewood and plums with mushrooms and chinese 7 spice on finish. — 13 years ago

Interesting to find Assyrtiko grape grown in Clare Valley. Bright acidity paired perfectly with local rock oysters with lemon pepper granita at Bennelong in Sydney Opera house. So refreshing on a sunny day. — 8 years ago

Dark Ruby. Lovely aromatics, violets, roses, flower garden that blossomed into a nice layered flavor trove of chocolate dipped cherry and toasted cinnamon stick. Perfect compliment to a NY Strip. — 8 years ago

13’ Au Bon Climat Nuits- Blanches Au Bouge (On That Road Again) Chardonnay.
Decant this for 30 minutes. Honestly I’ve really never had a Chardonnay quite like this one.

Baked apple, lemon, lime, white flowers,definite oak treatment. It all seems to work. Truly an enjoyable wine. Jim has been making outstanding wines for 35+ years. Reasonably priced and delicious. Could possibly get even better with another year in bottle.

Another above-the-fold headline scoop from "Superman's Pal"! This is a dense, jammy blend with slimy smooth body. The rich dark cherry, red raspberry, and black currant flavors balance nicely. It works well as an after-dinner digestive wine. — 9 years ago
