It is complex. Sweet at times. Robust at times. I love it. — 8 years ago

Is there a better wine for roast chicken than Loire cabernet franc? Rhetorical question, of course. 2011 so tight, even after two hour decant. It slowly unveils its charms, like Jo Fiennes unwinds Gwen Paltrow in the otherwise forgettable "Shakespeare in Love". Unlike that film, this has staying power. Stash away a case, it will develop beautifully over the next three decades. — 9 years ago

Is it Pure? Great stuff. 2012 is a more elegant year for Chateauneuf du Pape and while still big, this isn't the sledgehammer it could've been, and that's a good thing — 11 years ago

Still love this wine. DAMN!!! — 11 years ago

2018 Fall dinner for the Confrerie St Etienne.
Gosh, do I love these wines. The American oak nose of vanilla, coconut and dill is intoxicating to me. Cedar, dried cherry and rhubarb pie, touch of barnyard funk on the tongue. Highly decorated wine and well deserving. — 8 years ago


Good anise, forest floor, spices to round out the dark fruit. Love the rose petal notes. Tannins are elegant but would love to taste this again in a few years. — 8 years ago
I love this wine! It is always so balanced. Extremely smooth with very little tannins showing, being so young. A wine that never disappoints no matter the vintage. — 10 years ago

Delicious! Very fruity and a mouthful! Yum — 11 years ago
I love this wine. For some reason it is very easy on my digestive system unlike many others. It has a nice price point as well. — 11 years ago
Spicy, soily like the aroma of fresh dirt & chocolate sprinkles. I just enjoy this wine. — 12 years ago
My reading speech for itself. I enjoy it very much — 12 years ago
Love this one!! — 13 years ago
Wasn’t sure how this would turn out as it was a recent purchase and couldn’t vouch for prior storage. It was excellent. Would love to compare this vintage with a more recent one in the future. — 7 years ago
Easy to drink fun California cab. Love the glow in the dark label. — 8 years ago
Very very nice, easy and light! Definite repeat — 10 years ago
Love what he does with Cab. With a 90 minute decant this thing sang! — 11 years ago
Love is blind tasting. A much better showing than the 89. Pleasant and smooth. Pleasant for $169 is just not worth the special occasion price. — 11 years ago
Just love it. Quite elegant and aromatic, perfect integrated tannins and great lenght — 11 years ago

Wow. One of the most interesting Sangiovese that I have had. Nice under carbonic that brings out notes of rhubarb tart. Great with grilled vegetables in the summer. — 7 years ago
