Producing less than 800 cases a year from four hectares, the Cappellano family is know for their old-school "Vini Veri" philosophy on winemaking, in which only indigenous yeasts are relied upon, use of sulfur is strictly limited, vinification is traditional (extended aging in large, old botte) and the wine is not filtered prior to bottling.

What a nose! Decanted two hours from a magnum. Huge rose petals, violets, lavender, trufflee, tar, and raspberry jam, with a palate to match. Just enough texture on the tongue with a buttery earthiness that helps integrate its floral and bright cherry tones. Cedary, muscular tannins on the finish. A phenomenal Barolo. — 9 years ago

Love the philosophy of Stoller- the higher up the price ladder we climb, the more oak & richness we get. So, this entry level bottling is a steely mineral Chablis-like effort. Perfect with a briny chicken piccata and the Budos Band. — 10 years ago

100% Cabernet and my style of Napa, more austere and balanced, elegant and old-world. Similar to Corison in philosophy. — 10 years ago

I really the the philosophy behind these wines. Made by Mike Etzel and Louis-Michel Liger-Belair, the fire comes from Jory soils, the flood from willakenzie . A powerful, big, and unmistakably new world pinot -- but remarkably balanced and not without grace. Fleshy raspberries, cinnamon, and scorched earth. I could drink many of these -- if however they weren't so aggressively priced... — 10 years ago

Deutz 'William Deutz' 1999, Ay, since 1983 in the hands of Louis Roederer, slight different philosophy, all wines undergo malolactic fermentation, which explains their rich and expansive texture. Very likeable and slurp-able, with its upfront tropical fruit, spice, toastiness and butterscotch flavour. Serious price tag though... — 11 years ago

After decanting for an hour, it display a very soft fresh berry aromas with hint of vanilla. "Drinking it is like eating berries in the woods. " described by <Vino Italiano> when talking about Sangiovese. I can't believe this is a 16 years old bottle. Cepparello is the first 100% Sangiovese wine in Chianti. It adopted the "Super Tuscan" philosophy but rooted the wine in Tuscany deeply. Definitely gonna clear out the stock from Hedonism. — 12 years ago

Saint-Véran 2013 - Domaine du Chalet Pouilly


C'est dans le village de Solutré-Pouilly, situé dans la région du Mâconnais en Bourgogne, que la famille Plumet réalise de la magie au Domaine du Chalet Pouilly. Ce domaine ne se revendique d'aucun mouvement, ni d'aucune communauté. Ils font du vin. Depuis 1850. Autant dire que le temps et le respect des pratiques de cette période font partie intégrante de la culture du domaine et qu'elles l'ont toujours été.

Dégustons : notre superbe victime se nomme Saint-Véran 2013 et autant le dire de suite, ce 100% Chardonnay balance : Waouh! Waouh! Waouh! (3 fois)

Des vignes d'une cinquantaine d'années produisent ce jus envoutant, issu d'un élevage en cuve inox pendant 8 mois environ.
La couleur est paille, le nez floral avec un soupçon de pain légèrement beurré. En bouche, la précision est phénoménale. Le vin est superbement équilibré et rien ne semble laissé au hasard. Finesse et délicatesse s'allient sur une minéralité citronnée qui impose une longueur fort agréable. Ce vin coule avec tant d'aisance et de délicatesse qu'on prend alors conscience que la bouteille du doux breuvage est déjà vide ;)
Aie !

ENGLISH /

English friends is here what you need to know, description taken directly from domain's website, but true:

TASTING:
Light yellow (thanks to the old vineyards - 50 years old) colour and an elegant fruity scent. Flavors of fresh buttered bread with
floral fragrances as well as a sweet aroma of ripe fruits and a roasted hint are characteristic of this wine.

PHILOSOPHY
Domaine du Chalet Pouilly's philosophy is to allow nature to express itself through the vinification process in order to create highquality, richflavored wines with a rustic touch. Domaine du Chalet Pouilly practices traditional winegrowing methods, respecting the "terroir" in order to bring out the superior flavors of its quality wines.

Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. I don't care what anybody says for 27 bucks this is Australia's best valued wine. I admire Huntington's philosophy regarding the 5 year moratorium they impose on their releases. I tried this alongside a 2010 and a 2012 and it's obvious to see why they wait the five years. As a young wine the Cab Savs are huge and overwhelmingly tannic to the point of overkill. However, with 6 years of age this wine is magnificent: the perfect storm. It has harmonious balance, defined structure and yet the tannins are as soft as butter. It also has enough length to reach Sydney from Mudgee. The whole experience is superbly rounded off with a slightly creamy finish that will make you believe in Santa. Red Magic. — 11 years ago

Perfectly crafted mission statement for the Piuze philosophy, at an introductory price. Deliberate and purposeful stone fruit and muscadine defends a long lasting acidic core which finishes with a hint of slate. Treat yourself, buy lots of it. Chances are, you deserve it. — 10 years ago

The philosophy of La Spinetta is to intervene as little as possible in the winemaking process. Working with indigenous grapes, the rosé is a blend of two different clones of Sangiovese. Richly textured despite its pale color with notes of tart cherry and pomegranate and a touch of honeysuckle. — 10 years ago

Love this wine and you have to respect the aging philosophy of Tondonia. It was a little closed at first but with in the hour it was singing.

This is not the Yakka Jack but just known as The Red, their entry level bistro/pub red blend of Franc, Malbec, Sangiovese and Shiraz. Good pepperiness, dry tannins good with a variety of foods. Drank a bit above its price point at $20. Tasted the full range at the winery. Highlights were the Wally White (Oaked Semillon), a 100% Malbec and their flagship The Investigator, 100% Cab Franc which was excellent. Love the Lurton Family philosophy in wine making technique here on KI as explained by manager, Yale. 16.5+ for The Red. — 11 years ago
