Not like your normal Napa Cab. Ready to drink at this vintage. A lot of earth in this bottle, tannins very well balanced, developed and rounded out. One of the smoothest bottles I have experienced. Hits of tobacco, tar and cherries. I encourage anyone who wants to go out on a limb and try a Napa Cab that is very different than I have ever experienced a NC to be, give this a try. Extremely different and exceptional. If I can find this vintage again, will buy as much as possible. — 8 years ago

I'm going to go out on limb and say that for most people PF flies under the radar. It should not! This is a quality 03 Cabernet for the $. In fact, a steal if you buy it right and early. Perfectly ripe black cassis, raspberry, an array of baking spices, graphite, touch of black pepper, black licorice, black olive and dusty tannins. Soft with a finish that's goes on and on. Drink now and for another 5-10 years. The tannins and acidity say it will easily make it another 10 years in proper storage. — 9 years ago

Old world style Cab that is probably at it's best. Dark purple with some orange in the limb. Nice legs. Classic Cab nose with hint of earthy funk. Very goof balanced of rich flavors with just the right amount of tannins. Fairly high alcohol. Long finish of leather. — 8 years ago

Okay, out on a limb here but this wine makes top 20 of memory here. That's saying something given that I'm living in France, for god's sake. Drink it chilled down about 4° from room temp. Experience the wow. — 9 years ago

Black licorice and sap and definitely not discreet about anything. For going out on a limb this was a hell of a good surprise. Hot vintage is obvious but the wine is excellent and FORTUNATELY not typical for the locale. Masculine woman and sexy as all hell. Strong and wet. In a good way. A really good way. 💘 — 9 years ago

Obeisant and in absolute awe, I marvel at this ripened force of baked pear pastry, quince paste, and dry shortbread. Gah! I ache for rich sparkling like this and dream this must be about what the olde English wrote so fondly while we Americans were still siping sweet young things... I am listening to a wise pioneer who was there when the land was primeval before any touch combed stray strands to order (malty acacia and hazelnuts!), a tenacious type at a moment willing to sit down and share (a sinuous tree limb and wood smoke!), and then this sweet old biddie with Cognac on her breadth looks after us (lemon curd on soda bread, candied ginger, and powdered sugar on a lemon bar) -a wine in its prime and memorable -daresay haunting. A rare privilege thoroughly enjoyed to the tip of every capillary. Danke Mark Vlossak! — 9 years ago

Out on a limb here. This reminded me of northern Rhone with the meatiness barbecue on offer backed by just the slightest undertones of that classic cherry burgundy character. Of interest, to say the least, not sure if it's necessarily my bag when I reach for Bourgogne but still reaching far beyond simple expression or easy drinking. 🍔🍕🍖 — 9 years ago

Going to go out on a limb and call Beurer the best Riesling value around. Dry, citrus fruit, pronounced acidity, great mineral structure that dominates. Old vines, meticulously tended to with biodynamic methods. Spontaneous fermentation with wild yeast, 14 months sur lie. Not necessarily a crowd pleaser, there is a slightly bitter undertone that I find enjoyable, but others might not. I'm in love, this does my hometown proud. — 9 years ago
