It was a fine, common Australian shiraz. Leather nose and palate. It had a short finish but full of (leather) joy. — 6 years ago

This is a powerful deep Pinot that somehow reminds me of Oregon, even though it's from the Anderson Valley.
Decanted for 45 minutes and served slightly chilled.
Sour candied cherry, vanilla, spice and some earth on the mouth which is quickly followed by strawberry, sage and pepper. — 9 years ago

Very good RRV Chardonnay with definite oak on the mid palate and medium acidity. Might have gone to a 9 if there were more distinctive fruit in the nose or taste. — 9 years ago

I’m a believer in terroir, but this wine, which is an absolute ringer for Chablis, throws everything in question. If this were grown at Rorick with its limestone that would make sense, but semillon from the Napa valley floor? Out of the bottle it’s quite lithe, showing lemon and a bit of seashell minerality, but with an hour of air it begins to show some crisp apple and white stone fruit, and some white flower. Lovely, unusual wine. Enjoyed with grilled salmon and salad. — 5 years ago
