Quintessential Aussie pinot. Deep ruby. Shy nose. Sweet, fruit forward style. Lots of plumb and red fruit on the palate. Lovely tannins and good acid balance so should age well. But nothing other than primary fruit; no funk or spice to bring complexity down the road. VG but not great. — 10 years ago

This is made right next to chateau rayas and is about as close to that as you can get at a reasonable price. Benoit said the owner is a wife swapping ex-priest. Also the label is terrible, which likely makes the price lower. — 10 years ago

Really nice light but well-made Tuscan red. Terrible with salmon, but that ain't the wine's fault. — 10 years ago

2008. Despite being a rough vintage complete with terrible smoke from wildfires Kistler has done a good job keeping the integrity of this wine. Juicy cherry, raspberry, cola nut, red flowers, pomegranate, baking spices, touch of herbal/menthol type notes. — 11 years ago

Found one in my cellar. Reviews terrible, over the hill, etc. What were they thinking? This is spot on after 1 and a half hours of air. Still a bit tannic but still lots of dark fruit. A big surprise. Deep flavors, great balance. Too bad it was an orphan. — 11 years ago

Terrible picture but had to note this one. I'm trying to transition back into whites. This one is a porch pounder. Crisp apples, smooth finish, very little bite to it. Slight acidity keeps it bright. I'll take a case! — 13 years ago

Who says sequels are terrible? Empire Strikes Back is the best of the series and this was the best of the four bottles we had tonight! — 10 years ago

Citrus driven Chenin. Had Reau's Enfant Terrible (cabernet franc) not so long ago, which was quite bold/heavy. So I was expecting some weight here too & was actually surprised by the zestiness! — 10 years ago

I like it. But I'm comparing it to that terrible bottle of Chateau St. Jean I had last. — 10 years ago

Apparently Al & Hazle before opening Toast.ed flirted with the idea of calling the restaurant Yeastie Boys. Which would probably have been a terrible move. This is delicious though. Bitter chocolate limes. — 10 years ago

Terrible punny label, but this is declassified Reynvaan juice and it brings the Rocks funk at a great price. — 11 years ago
