Rochioli
Estate Grown Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2014
Unbelievable, a bright styled Sav Blanc with peach and lemon grass. I think this is my favorite Sav Blac out of the US, going to get a case next. — 11 years ago
Nobilo
Regional Collection Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013
Sweet grass, peach, and grapefruit, then a little bit of what I can only call Christmas tree. Crisp and med-high acid, low phenolics — 12 years ago
Astrolabe Wines
Province Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Pronounced intensity, with aromas of green bell pepper, asparagus, apricot, and freshly cut grass. On the palate, lychee, grapefruit, lemon, and bell pepper with a long finish. — 13 years ago
Bergström Wines
Cumberland Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2013
Azienda Agricola COS
Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Frappato Nero d'Avola 2011
Try to describe love and you will come up short like me describing this wine. A welcoming aroma teases the tip of the tongue. But the true joy comes at the back end of the sip as blackberry plum smoke disappears and leaves your palate yearning for its next encounter. — 11 years ago
Domaine Drouhin
Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2011
Red fruit, touch of tea leaves. Lovely texture — 12 years ago

Vinothek Wachau Riesling 1995
What can I say here? I can't imagine (let alone have encountered) a more stunning bottle of riesling...ok maybe if this had the complexity on the nose that another 30-50 yeaars of cellaring would bring, the sateen texture, the implosive and utterly beguiling mid-palate, savoury throughout yet mesmerizingly sweet without sugar, this has the first time Father and I ever pulled out the note 'bakeapple' aka 'cloudberry' in a wine. Piercing lemon as well, sumptuous peach and fresh cut grass resemblance haunts your nose. Simply a championship creation that almost produced tears with my mouth full. This was so young, it will age forever... — 11 years ago

Peach is the first aroma to greet your nose. There's a specific floral aroma of the bouquets that come out in the autumn, and like you're taking wet autumn leaves, and of course white pepper. Flavors of lemon, canned pear juice and yellow apple. Finish is spicy with white pepper and citrusy with lemon-lime. Fun with sophistication. — 11 years ago
Taittinger
Comtes de Champagne Grand Crus Brut Blanc de Blancs 2005
Grass, brioche and plenty of mid palate weight... A great prestige cuvée for current drinking. — 12 years ago

Sweet to start and tart at the finish. Mainly tastes of grapefruit, passion fruit, and grass. Soft, rounded texture. There's more complexity and bigger flavor if you let it sit out a bit, but not too long because then it loses the crisp finish. #vinebox — 10 years ago
