90% Cabernet, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Merlot. On the nose; rich, lush dark, cassis. Blackberries, blueberries, black raspberries, vanilla, cinnamon, clove, soft minerals and fresh, red & dark florals. The fruits match the nose. Dark, rich soil, leather, crushed rocks, nice amounts of baking spices and fresh violets. Lovely round acidity. The finish is; big, rich, round and elegant. It's a beautiful wine. Photos of; the metal framing of their new winery and tasting facility; which they should move into in January 18 and open to the public in April. The cellar room concrete floor & walls are already poured and painted underneath the metal framing. Also, their new Syrah vines and some experimental Bordeaux varietals planted this spring, their Healy vineyard sign and their barrel cellar. Look for Doubleback to continue to push quality in their new winery starting with the 18 vintage. — 8 years ago

This particular vintage apparently is not available to the public yet. As a note, I had spicy food before drinking this and didn't get the best read on the wine. It was luscious, round, and had wonderful restrained berry flavors. Wow! Get a bottle and let it sit a bit longer. — 10 years ago

Got it 2 for 11 bucks at public. Dark color, nice nose, and smooth tannins. Would go buy a case if they had it. Not a bad wine at 11 bucks but buy one get one free can't beat it — 11 years ago

The best wine I've ever had from Australia, and the best wine I've ever had on the subway. Thanks Mr. Grosset for your promotion of the stelvin closure, for not only is it great for this legendary Riesling, but also great for my public consumption. — 9 years ago

This is just cheating. This bottle should be illegal and banned from public consumption to keep the definition of absolute perfection away. I can't even start to describe how awesome this 2014 is. Bravo, Jean-Marc. What a fantastic way to put an end to my Burgundy trip! — 9 years ago

Yummy Zinfandel. With a spicy stirfry last night and cheese and crackers tonight.

Why in the world would anyone vote for either Ted Cruz or Donald Trump?! Both clearly dangerous and unfit for public office.

Is that me or the Zinfandel speaking? Ha ha. — 10 years ago

This wine tastes like coffee and fruit which is everything the general public hates about coffee. Oh, the humanity. As a roaster and Francophile, I approve. — 10 years ago

Smells like caramel apple pie and tastes like banana bread and butterscotch. Full of classic New England warmth. Love it. Got this at Boston Public Market and will buy some more to set aside. — 9 years ago
