Premiere Napa Valley bottling of Terrace Reserve. This Farella was opened with some really good company (07 Lokoya Veeder, 07 Verite Muse, 07 Revana), and IMO it was either 1 or 2. The nose of this one reveals some black and blue fruits. Entry of this wine has blackberry power, but then settles to more of a truffle and black tar in the middle. Gives way to herbal notes which gives this wine a very good complexity that really outdid the Lokoya and the Revana which were more about Napa fruit-forward power (was very similar in style to the Verite quite honestly). Finish has resolving tannins. Toasted oak finish although still rather tannic for its age. This wine is drinking very well right now, and probably is in the prime drinking window for the next 3-4 years. If you have these, drink 'em up or let them sit but not too long! — 7 years ago
Akin to a very feminine, yet extremely curvaceous muse, of questionable gender identity, like Fabio. Or maybe like a Kardashian doing manual labor.
And, I'd agree with a few of my peers on Delectable that this wine is somewhat peppery...all while being a buttery SLH Chard. Good fruit forward flavors with a present acidity. Oak notes present. I can't believe it's not butter. — 9 years ago
Soft tannins, bright acid. Happy red berries and a pleasant floral nose. Light; far from plain. — 9 years ago
Forgot I had a bottle of this! Acid is still racy, with a touch of hazelnut on the nose. All grapefruit on the palate. — 9 years ago
The term ‘L’Egerie’ is French for ‘muse’ as Chris Peterson has crafted another stunning new Rose wine, blending 65% Grenache and 35% Mourvedre. Showing off its beautiful pale color, the wine opens with really good aromatic range, from salted Marcona almond to ripe strawberry, as well as melon and shades of Mandarin orange zest that all combine on the nose. The silky texture truly entices and collects momentum with the wonderful bright minerality of the wine. Elegant, yet showing good depth, the wine unveils bright red raspberry, strawberry and honeydew melon flavors that connect with the great sense of minerality. This finishes extremely long. Try to get your hands on this while it lasts. Drink 2019-2026- 92 — 6 years ago
White fruit and flowers on the nose, very delicate, so on the palate with a beautiful muse. Very refreshing, revigorating and with that mineral feeling that calls for the next glass. — 8 years ago

Riktigt bra sommarvin. — 9 years ago
Really liked this meritage - Cabernet, Malbec and Merlot. Easily pass as a very fine Cabernet - balance of deep fruit, leather and cocoa. — 9 years ago
Intensely fragrant and unmistakably Stags' Leap quality. This is a gorgeous example of structure, finesse and elegance wrapped into one bad ass wine. 13.8% abv allows the acid and tannins to balance and give backbone to the generous red and black fruits that make up the core of this wine. — 9 years ago
Earth and leather in this strong Pinot Noir. The palette is subdued but the muse is strong. A good wine with steak. — 6 years ago
If you want to test you tolerance for strange wines or you are a wine geek 🤓 this is it. Very much like an oxidized Jura wine made from the savagnin grape but this is Albarin not Albariño! Tastes like a sherry at first. Super nutty and corky but not corked! Kind of like grape cider. Bracing acidity. Drink this by itself and muse over the flavor for hours. Or pair it with stinky cheeses Goat, aged Taleggio a blue cheese etc. . This is not a wine for a dinner party with friends. I actually think cheese screws up our palate but this wine can take it! Bottle 447 of 670 made. An experience but only for the brave. Only available from Max Kogod in the US. — 7 years ago

Red raspberries on the nose, pretty dry with hints of lemon, a bit yeasty, very structured and enjoyable! — 5 years ago
