Special wine to celebrate my son’s 10th birthday - from his grandfather’s cellar.
on point and could easily be mistaken for Haut Brion — 6 years ago
Supple, jammy, silky mouthfeel, grapefruit, reminds me of the smokey charcoal of a Vacqueyras and the fruit of a luscious Pinot.
A recommended Rhône from the local shop owner on 23rd street.
A bouquet that brings the memory of clementines.
A shimmering pool of maroon silk. — 6 years ago
Fine example of a Yarra Valley Blend. — 6 years ago
Very full Pinot Noir shared with Mary Kay — 9 years ago
This what it's all about; excellent Pinot Noir. Light, complex, yummy. Each bottle does need to be stood up for a day before serving to let it settle. — 10 years ago
1st non-Loire Chenin n makes me proud 2 b an Amurican! A tad oak => good body for having fun w/ food. Subtle acid. Lemony n waxy. Spot on!! — 10 years ago
Well yes, @Mike Lucia, you should be proud! Only thing better than sharing a first vintage with the winemaker is when it's crazy delicious. I know what I'm gonna be drinking all summer... — 10 years ago
Thank you @melissa_ful for such a beautiful surprise! — 11 years ago
Fabulous. Montrachet like (just needs a slightly softer finish). — 12 years ago
Okay my friends. I have finally released my own wine! This rating is for Dr Todd Vineyards cabernet sauvignon from Herron Family Wines. I had to put Papillon in the pic to get this spot. Ive been working on this since 2014!!!!! It is finally ready. Of coarse it is opaque in color. The legs are thick and slow to fall. The bouquet is my favorite blackberry pie fresh out of the oven with a hint of black licorice. The initial palate is exploding with dark fruit: blackberry, black current, dark cherries. The mid palate is exactly what I hoped for, chocolate and spice with a splash of oak! The finish is very long with minimal tannins and moderate dryness. I am very proud if this wine. I want to thank my growers in NAPA. I blended two vines of 100% cabernet , one from Oakville and one from the Silverado trail area near lake Hennessey. We aged it three years in American Oak. I am so proud of my team!!!!! Thank you my Herron Family Wine Crew! This is an awesome cabernet sauvignon. Next is a pinot noir... stay tuned... — 6 years ago

Really nice strawberries and blackberries. Opening up nicely as it breathes. Mary likes. $15 at Divine Wines. — 10 years ago
Very pleasant boutique bottling from a superior vintage featuring a texture of black pepper, black tea, savory and dark cherry. Purchased for low $20s, this producer does small productions beside selling fruits to leading Mendocino producers. Low level of tannin would make this a an easy choice for by-the-glass and for many Pinot fans — 11 years ago
Herbal aromas (typically Margaret River) with Geranium Capsicum and a touch of menthol. Some green notes - medium weight. Savoury wins out over Cassis and black fruits. Not in the upper echelon of Margaret River Cabernet. Just a silver medal. We went to the Cellar Door some years ago and the story goes that the Reserve Cab was served at the wedding of Prince Frederick of Denmark to Sydney Real Estate agent Mary Donaldson originally from Tasmania now Crown Princess Mary and one day will become the Queen of Denmark. Fred is a keen sailor who was representing Denmark at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and they met at Sydney hotspot The Slip Inn where Fred was flashing his Black AMEX so the story goes and was captivated by Mary and the rest is history. — 5 years ago
Stunner. Unfolded as the night went on. Just enjoyable with an ever evolving nose with classic Napa aromas. Want more — 6 years ago
1000000/10 — 6 years ago
Excellent from first nose to retro, dangerously easy drinking. Mouth concludes with the Lapierre tart chew signature smooth katana. Best Lapierre Morgon since the monumental 2010; keep on the good work Mathieu and Camille, someone up there must be very proud. — 8 years ago
