I'm not the biggest Schramsburg fan. This is just fine. The ladies like it, and anything that will distract them from drinking my Kongsgaard is great in my book — 8 years ago

2008: The overriding impression of the nose was smoky mezcal, no matter how many times I went back to the well. A silky almost glossy quality to the fruit. Most likely VA driving the nose, yet I imagine it's simply this bottle. — 9 years ago

Steely, reduced style. Delicious. Thanks to John Kongsgaard on Thanksgiving! 2 Roulots in less than a week. Lucky duck! — 7 years ago

Music. Everything but Malbec. Pedigree such as David Abreu, Howell Mountain, Kongsgaard, Erickson, Beethoven Opus 111. Yeah... It's in the wine. The nose and finish are balanced, long, and deep. If you happen upon a bottle, let it settle thoroughly, unfiltered and extracted, but once "clean" it is gorgeous. — 8 years ago

Undeniably well made Chardonnay with impressive viscosity, fullness and in your face decadence. I'm guessing this is a crowd pleaser. For my palate there is too much predominant oak here and a cloying sweetness on the denouement. I'm going to revisit tomorrow and see if there is a blow off. I still like it but I'd grab a Kongsgaard or Aubert over this every single time. — 9 years ago

It's no Kongsgaard but, it's pretty damn good. — 9 years ago

Excellent, has almost tart on the mid palate. This maybe from the bernaise sauce. After a 2 hr decant, was outshined by the 2002 Kongsgaard Syrah. — 9 years ago

Similarities to Kongsgaard. Petroleum, tobacco, chocolate. No very fruity. Love it! — 8 years ago

Wow! Reminds me somewhat of a Kongsgaard for its richness and depth but with a bit of eccentricity. — 8 years ago

I used to love this wine back in the day. Now I know why. According to Parker, back in the glory days, all of the fruit for the Unfiltered Chard used to come from Kongsgaard Judge Vineyard. Still pleasant, but it'll never measure up. Past is prologue, but not when they take away the Judge. — 8 years ago

05 vintage of Roussanne/Viognier. Unctuous, absurdly rich, and bizarrely balanced for all that. — 9 years ago

Arietta is an oenological
tribute to Beethoven created by the musical minds of John Kongsgaard and Fritz Hatton and the latter has taken over the project, expanding it to include this blend of several white varietals that is crisp, citrus-driven and very food-friendly! — 9 years ago
