Fantastic. Thanks @Abe Schoener . — 5 years ago
Nice mineraly effervescence upon opening—crisp, clean, tart, grapefruity. Good stuff! — 6 years ago
The Monte Rosso was outstanding in every way- expressive nose of dark red fruits and layers that touched all parts of the palate. The flavors complimented a wonderful dinner. 8 years and still getting better. 100 year old vines that show how good Zinfandel can be when grown and tended to reveal their sense of place.

Abe’s wines are often hit or miss for me. This one was absolutely, 100% a hit. Singing. — 8 years ago
The 2015, the other half of the night's comparison. Less subtle, more floral. Jasmine, rose petal, honey. All powerful, but all a bit separate and distinct. I think this could lie down for a good while. Will be pleased to try another bottle in a few years. — 9 years ago

Chapoutier never disappoints. Nice and light. Raspberry on the nose and palate. Falls off on the finish. Made for hot summer days. — 13 years ago

16 ans et toutes ses dents. Tanins fondus. Expression de la Syrah classique comme on sait la faire par là bas. Une chouette quille. — 6 years ago
Ruby burgundy color. Jammy and fruit forward with berries and some spice. Smoky and a hint of umami. Rhubarb and strawberry. Tart cherry pies. Nice acidity with a hint of wet rubber or something in the palate. A tasty and unique southern red. — 7 years ago
Lovely, light but packs a punch. — 9 years ago
A big and structured wine. Aromas of cherries, roasted coffee and fresh herbs. Broad-shouldered and chewy, with good mid-palate depth and firm tannins - plenty of length and grip on the finish. The wine seems nicely balanced, and should age very well. — 11 years ago

Quite good! — 13 years ago
Pitted dark fruits on the nose. Very smooth and elegant feel with the perfect blend of fruit and earth. — 10 months ago
Favorite rose! — 6 years ago
On the richer side for a Pinot. Sour cherry flavor, higher than average tannin, lots of baking spices. Good value. — 7 years ago
Both really bright and really deep. Black currant, black raspberry followed by a hit of red currant and red raspberry. About an hour of decant until it was really hitting its stride. — 9 years ago
Fantastic on a humid hot day! Classic #GruVee — 11 years ago
