Deep in its spice blanket but has very grown up and starting to intergrate tannins. Wonderful spiced fruit and not heavily jammy. great for the colder months when i want a tummy hug with some braised beef or cheese. — 10 years ago

Our favorite Sauvignon blanc. Light with loads of citrus. Great with shrimp or veg with dip. Between $12 and $16 a bottle. — 13 years ago
Dark color with green pepper full fruit and saddle leather. Acid a bit dominating. Will give it a year or two. — 11 years ago
Deep reddish/purple color which has me on guard relative to Pinot. Worried that darker than lighter raspberry red has had Mega Red or other manipulation but this Pinot just has concentrated character. Varietal rose petal and cherry notes in aromas. You can see the broad influence from the 3 appellations that comprise the wine. Weighty on the palate without being too over bearing for the varietal. Great accompaniment to the saffron broth salmon this evening. — 11 years ago
2002 Dom Perignon (DP) does not have the great backbone of fierce acidity of '96 or '04, but it does have great ripe, exotic fruit aromatics that many other 2002 Champagnes display, since it was generally a hot, dry year. '02 DP is drinking great now, so have fun! — 12 years ago

Simply excellent champagne. Raspberry, pear, and toast. Crisp but not a harsh or sharp texture. — 10 years ago
