Very big nose and medium body, I thought this 2006 was very good, the cork crumbled when i was trying to get it out, still a good bottle — 9 years ago
This is getting more complex with age. Dark fruits, smokiness, some cloves. Really nice. — 9 years ago
The pale golden straw color is appealing, while the nose certainly isn’t scaring anyone away. Clean earth notes define the apple, papaya and lime aromas beautifully. The palate shows off-dry pear, apple and Meyer lemon flavors on a bed of acidity. Finishing long, it’s the earth and citrus that stays around after the sip. The wine’s body makes it a lot more versatile that just “salads and sipping.” Winemaker Markus Niggli recommends you pair it with anything off the grill. — 9 years ago
Excellent depth. Went beautifully with a delicate smoked salmon and then a fabulous veal osso bucco — 10 years ago
Light & BRIGHT with mildly flinty nose--- tons of beach plum jelly & tart raspberry candy on the palate---gentle yet present grip. Gulp-able & legit fun. Fine companion to fatty duck. — 10 years ago
My first Bacchus wow, aromatic grassy but with tropical hints. Very well executed — 10 years ago
Absolutely stunning. Great vintage. Mostly Bacchus vineyard. One of my favorite cabs ever. — 11 years ago
Wow. Syrah exactly the way it should be. So delicious! — 12 years ago
Спелая вишня, черника, райские яблочки, в развитии свекла, гарриги, оливки, смола, ощутимый минеральный тон. Среднее тело с яркой, но мягкой кислотностью и молодыми, но укрощенными танинами. Сочно, ягодно и естественно, готово уже сейчас, хотя способно и полежать. Выразительно и честно, с собственным характером, чуть рустично, не очень комплексно, без больших сюрпризов, однако довольно быстро исчезает в бокале. — 8 years ago
Viognier-ish, perfumey, surprisingly dry — 9 years ago

Extremely hearty and fruit toned Rose. Medium to full bodied wine that I did not expect. Very different! Enjoy this immensely. — 10 years ago

A red from Catalan 100% Grenache — 11 years ago
Commence à bien se goûter, sur les fruits rouges un peu cuits, les épices. On sent bien le mourvedre. Très digeste, aucune lourdeur solaire,. Gros potentiel. — 8 years ago
Showing incredibly well. Very left Bank Bordeaux at the moment. The label is simply amazing — 8 years ago
Really great trousseau. — 9 years ago
Crisp apple flavor on the finish. Yum! — 9 years ago
I consider this a more full bodied wine. Typically a Cab drinker but this Merlot was quite good. Strong plum and cranberry flavors with a bit of a peppery finish. Alcohol content seems high with half glass consumed! Surprised that I am enjoying this one as much as I am. — 10 years ago
Also get the Chardonnay — 11 years ago
Earthy, mineral nose. Smooth but bold on the tongue. Very nice. — 11 years ago

Another 4th Friday for the books! What a variety this month!
I’ll be honest...I was flat out shocked how well this drank this young. I gave this maybe 30mins of space before drinking and it was incredible. Lush fruits on the nose...sweet blue fruit, rhubarb, lavender on the finish. Superb. — 8 years ago
