2005, for me, is an unappreciated vintage, given the press 2007, 2010, 2012, 2013 get. Wonderful example of a middle aged Napa cabernet. Incredible value at $30. — 10 years ago
Delicious Pinot with a nice light lingering jam taste that's easy to to drink and is classic Willamette Valley. Kate and I will definitely be getting more of this — 8 years ago
52 CS 42 M 6 CF
Inky purple with brilliant tint. Youthful and compact rim.
Quite a contrast from the softer 2014, this shows a Cabernet-based character with dark cherry, blackcurrant, boysenberry, and leafy freshness on the bouquet.
The palate is certainly more interesting, a step up from the 2014. Red cherry, raspberry, red currant lifted by slightly minty freshness and baking spices while smoky hazelnut keeps it interesting.
Very commendable effort but I really wish they dialed down on Merlot in the final blend. 89+ — 9 years ago

Very nice. First time having this grape, which apparently comes from a small part of Piedmont on the Lombardy border. Almost like a dry intense Riesling - petrol and acid - but a bit more floral. Would want more. — 9 years ago

Tasted at Chateau.
52 CF 47 M 1 CS, 100% new oak for 15 m's.
Dark, inky crimson, opaque, compact rim.
Classic Cheval Blanc bouquet. Seductively floral - rose petal, lavender, violet. Elegant red fruit profile with fresh mintiness in abundance.
While evidently young and thus structured, this wine is extremely nuanced and soft (in a good way). Sophisticated and complex black and red fruits highlighted by fresh herbal undertone (mint, sweet basil, and thyme). Incredible finish - long and uniquely memorable.
No doubt, it will be spectacular in 10-15 years and beyond. My first young Cheval is exactly everything I was hoping for and more. 94++ — 9 years ago
Founded in 1982, Roederer Estate sparkling wines reflect the cool, fog-shrouded Anderson Valley, home to their family-owned estate's 600 acres of vineyards. Tiny bubbles, nice mousse with toasty fruit aromas for this blend of 52% Chardonnay & 48% Pinot Noir. Flavors of apple and nutty pear, biscuit notes, creamy, great mouthfeel. Lingering finish ending with spicy mineral notes. Smooth and crisp! — 9 years ago
