Another great round for the flavorful bird , the taste is like apple juice if it was not sweet and had embodied every beutiful flavor of a white wine. — 9 years ago
Brooding, dark, inky and absolutely delicious. It's got some of those leathery, cigar box kinds of notes. Dash of dark chocolate on the nose. Plum. Black fruit. Concentrated. Nice chewy finish. Lingers. Rarely would I drink an Aussie merlot, yet this one's knocking it out of the park. — 9 years ago

Color is like liquid copper, amazing. Took about an hour to open, then nearly as good as upon release, nice acid, Loire Cab Franc, tart strawberry on the palate. One more bottle and we're clean out, loved this wine, only found it once. One of our favorite bottles, with a bird on it! — 9 years ago

If I'd known then what I know now. I find cab sav is most often a purchase based on speculation - they're frequently released far too young and are pretty much undrinkable in their youth. All overpowering tannin and intensity. This is an example of one very much worth the wait. Cool climate elegance combined with concentrated fruit and all sorts of complex notes layered throughout: menthol, cedar, blackcurrant, spice, hints of dusty chocolate and gently perfumed oak. Still has years ahead of it. Can't wait for dinner to finish cooking so I can sock it back with a rump steak. Should have bought more way back when! — 10 years ago

Not a big Chardonnay drinker, but this grabbed me completely. Sweet and smooth, with real soft fruit to the end. Such a fan. — 9 years ago
Introduced at Charlie Bird, now serving at home! — 9 years ago
I'm admittedly a sucker for Randall's wines, and his writing, and his aesthetic, his quirky personality and outlandish experimentation. The 2008 is rich, dense, littered with ashy tannins and ripe with black, juicy fruit. So, my husband proposed after our first visit to Bonny Doon, thus my bias, but I think I can truthfully say this wine is very, very special. — 10 years ago

Medium bodied, tiny touch on the sweeter side but still dry. It is a rosé. — 11 years ago
