Jam session -- muddy but 📧🅿️ℹ️© 🚨 finish. — 11 years ago
This looked dead - muddy and rusty...but totally different on the palate. Bright red currants, so amazing, and softened nicely the longer it was open... — 11 years ago

Started out a little muddy, but with some air some really lovely delineated fruit, cedar, herbal and clay-ey character — 11 years ago
Deep aromas of blackberries, cocoa, leather and graphite. Muddy and awesome especially for under 20 bones. — 11 years ago
Rivery. Dry vanilla on hot fig and black currant compote. Muddy. Gooseberry, blackberry, vacillates between rock freshly lifted from muddy shallows, and a sweet basil note, maybe even a tiny bit of candied mint on cedar. Absolutely effluent and streamlined to the mineral rich finish complete with bay leaf and a wisp of smoked truffle. — 12 years ago
Enjoyable wine and very mellow from start to finish. Great flavors and not to sharp. Would recommend. — 13 years ago
What a difference a year has made! Hazelnut, espresso, whiskeyed caramel expressions of the fragrant type. Heavy liqueur cherry chocolate. Real, muddy, earthy, cigar depth. Chocolate and coffee liqueurs with a vanilla cedar, toast and cobra venom. Burnt sugar and burnt earth leave you in the dust. — 10 years ago
Deep in color and fragrant on the nose, this dark ruby red from Sicily offers a powerful set of aromas: cassis, black olives, cigar box, leather, anise and smoke all come around fairly quickly. This is one of those wines I run across from time to time that smells so good I almost forget to drink it. Almost. The palate is dark and savory. Blackberry and black plum are the most notable fruit flavors, but the Morgante is all about the trimmings. There is a muddy forest floor component and, if you are new to wine, rest assured that it’s a good thing. Minerality comes in abundance and there is a hint of sage there, too, with notes of tea, coffee and root beer finding their way through. — 11 years ago
Super yummy, nice fruit and acidity — 11 years ago
Elegant, stringent and gentle. Firm acidity says a lot about aging potential. Typical elaborated NZ sauvignon blanc. — 11 years ago
Thank you, Arch! — 12 years ago

2009 in 2016. All red fruit, fresh, strawberry, cranberry, cherry and lots of floral, violets, roses, and lavender- muddy/cloudy interesting soapy aftertaste (and it wasn't the glass)- very little oak influence — 10 years ago
