My first bottle of eight. It’s early but with seven more bottles, I took advantage of my curiosity. A stunning vintage and perhaps their best Alter Ego. Beautiful nose of fresh floral mid and dark red fruits with excellent silky mouthfeel. Two hour decant. I would wait another five years to check on my next bottle. Hedy’s 4th and main course, Lamb - Rack, Shank, Lavender, Cumin, Coriander and a tiny bit of Mint w/ Honey, Butter Beans, Baby Vegetable. Excellent preparation. The 09 Alter Ego did it justice. @PlateAndBottle — 8 years ago

This wine is in excellent phase at 21 . Pairs well with rack of lamb. Medium body still giving some bright red cherry, cassis, cedar, herbs and a bit of mint on the finish. Very well balanced wine! — 9 years ago

Consumed with our meal featuring rack of lamb, this immediately struck me as a somewhat modern Barolo with the oak playing a slightly more predominate role than a lot of the Barolo I’m used to drinking. It was fairly austere on this night so judging it was a bit of a challenge. But there were red and dark fruits, slightly more on the ripe side of things; new leather; tobacco; a hint of herbs and anise. A nice wine to be honest but it was outclassed by the Brovia that was opened after. — 8 years ago

Nothing like coming home to Uncle Bobby pulling one of your favorites out of his wine bag. The balance, the spice rack of aromas, the depth and length of the dark blue fruit. Syrah defined. — 9 years ago

Underwhelmed exceedingly high expectations..... Perhaps it was the vintage?! Lacked the concentration or focus of the best versions of this. That said, still beautiful wine, especially w/rack of lamb #firstworldproblems — 11 years ago

Fourth vintage of Matt’s Cab Sauv that I’ve had the privilege of trying. This was didn’t seem quite as ready to drink as the others. Not bad by any means just not as open. Limited berry on the nose and still strong tannins. I think some time on the rack and this will be great. — 8 years ago

I'm sure I've rated the before, because I have a bunch of the 2009's at home in wine rack. Tasting again at the Bonney Doon tasting room in Nov 2017 it seems to be fading just a wee bit. Still lovely, but drink it soon! — 9 years ago

Vaucluse is Michael White's Upper East Side French restaurant with a slight American twist. And so it is the wine list. Large sections of French wine are bookended by their US equivalents. Two pages of Burgundy are followed by a handful of Sonoma and Oregon Pinots. We stayed Old School and went for a Bordeaux. Red fruit, tar, leather, somewhat advanced beyond its decade of life. A tasty mid weight wine that was lovely with the rack of lamb and establishment atmosphere. — 9 years ago

And the pièce de resistance, for the lamb rack from Siesel's - the pairing was OH SO GOOD!! Still ripe after all these years, with tons of spicy meaty earthy goodness. Nothing says holidays like a Pegau! — 11 years ago

With Thanksgiving dinner this year (rack of lamb) good fruit and balance still a bit closed in. Very good now and may improve with further age. — 12 years ago
