Fantastic! Intense, smoky, earthy, and sexy. Spices and cherries to boot. Pop and pour. Paired beautifully with venison. Juicy, creamy, and sweet finish. At its peak! — 9 years ago

10' Bressler. Cabernet. This is my second venture into Bressler . The first being the 2006 which was a pop & pour. This 2010 needs a nice decanting. @Martin G Rivard What can I say? We greatly appreciate your generosity. My wife's gonna snuggle up with this for the next several hours. To all my delectable friends, wishing each one of you a healthy and prosperous 2017! Happy New Year !🍾🍾 — 9 years ago

From a new estate (for me) based in Chavanay (Condrieu). This is apparently 90% Roussanne, but is remarkably Viognier-like. It's totally delicious, but a little confusing. Then again, I'm easily confused. — 10 years ago

Just about a perfect rep of a fine Italian wine. Pop it and drink it. Paired with a nice florentine steak will make you feel like an angel baby swaddled in cloud candy. Roses, velvety tannins and fruit. — 11 years ago

Close to a pop n pour. One hour decant and it was ready to go. IMO, this and the Rivers Marie Napa cab are the best I've come across at this price point. — 9 years ago

Not bad for $11.97! Excellent with roasted tomato and braised bacon pasta at the Chez Benzique Oakland pop-up. — 9 years ago

Always a great bottle to pop open without thinking twice. Fruit forward and a little bold. — 10 years ago

I suspect this didn't get quite enough air. Not quite pop and pour but it was only open for 45 mins before we drank it (we were perhaps over-concerned about the mid shoulder level). Lovely (and lively) russet core with long legs as a ruby rim; nose of pencil shavings, cigar tubes (hint of metal with lots of tobacco), blackberry stalks, and lingering aromas of compté cheese rind and venerable (on-the-edge) rose petals; long and satisfying - persistent tannins and well integrated but still present acidity. From half bottle - need to give the next one more time!!! — 10 years ago

Great! Will pop, bubbly. But smell a little weird? Like cinnamon? And a little bit 涩 after drinking — 11 years ago

An impossible Rose to get, but thanks to @Henrik Poulsen I got some along with an even better story. We will be trying his Rose in two weeks with a bunch of friends. I'm sure it will be as good. Had this during the crazy heat wave a few weeks back. It made having no a/c bearable. — 9 years ago

Time as really rewarded this vintage. The oak is well integrated. It's a rich., easy to drink well built wine. Front and mid but not as much on the back. Drink them if you have them. I'm not regretting my decision to pop this one! — 10 years ago

I found this to be a very enjoyable wine. I was hoping for a little bit more Oak. I'm not quite sure how it would evolve over time. I always find these to be a great pop and pour wine. I never hang on to them too long in my cellar.
I would love feedback from anyone that has aged some of these to see how they evolve.@Ron R @Mike Rowe @David A Lentine @Howard Greenfield — 10 years ago

Funky nose and a little disjointed on pop. Developed very well after an hour in the decanter. Fruit has faded but it still packs the lunch bags punch. Drink now. — 11 years ago

Yes the vintage precludes its vibrancy but this '80 is deeply engaging, put on weight throughout and was delicious. Despite pop 'n pour into small plastic cups. — 12 years ago
