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. — 7 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. — 8 years ago

Blind tasting, wine number 4, bag number 3. Bright red and clear. Love the nose, black olives, cherries and hummus. Moderate tannins (6.5/10), and moderate body. Nicely integrated between the size of the body and tannins, but would love to try this in a few years by then hopefully the little bit of heat wears off. Nice amount of dark fruits as well. Lingering finish but is smoother than bottle number 5 and 6. My third favorite of the night. — 8 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. — 7 years ago

This is an amazing drinking Burg. As I stated earlier drinking better than Burgundies costing more than twice the price. Red & black cherry fruits, blood orange, intense mineral with game bird, dried herbs and Asian spice. — 8 years ago

Burlotto’s 2015 Pelaverga is striking. Sweet floral notes meld into a core of silky red berry fruit in an airy, mid-weight red that captures the more refined side of this quirky, indigenous variety native to Verduno. (AG) — 7 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! — 8 years ago
