From magnum. Switching in between the 2016 cab and this Rhone blend, I actually like this better. Though not overly complex, the delicious red and blue fruits, gentle acidity, and silky tannins were seamless. Throwing in the sense of earth, here we have a subtle and elegant bottle. — 7 years ago

Muted nose. Steve Pannell said decant for 2 hours before serving. I only did 45 Minutes but it did give more after 2 hours. Colour is pale to mid crimson. Aged in old French oak puncheons for 24 months. Cherry/earth aromas and flavours finishing with fine powdery slightly bitter Tannins. Perfect food wine - went well with Pork mince. An excellent rendition of a new world Nebbiolo if not a little on the light side - more like a Langhe Rosso. — 8 years ago

Full bodied with luscious yet balanced notes of plums, currants and sweet herbs. A stunning rendition that is drinking beautifully now. — 9 years ago

This is a beautiful rendition of Pinot Noir. Very Burgundian in style - bright red fruit, mineral driven, lots of secondary aromas, but just enough fruit to support, and a silky texture that emerges with some air. It is hard to find a Pinot Noir this tasty for the price. — 10 years ago

A fantastic rendition of one of my favorite grapes. A youthful 2001. Endless. — 11 years ago

Blind, I would not have guessed this as Oregon. Smells old world for sure. Needs some time for the palate to soften and resolve the back end, but a lovely rendition of 2007. — 11 years ago

Warm, ripe tones show from this hot vintage. Aged in traditional botti, this is an appealing rendition of the wine to be drunk in the near term. Bravo! — 11 years ago

Lovely Burgundian, stemmy aromas and spice. Nice balance and lightness. Becomes tighter and a little rustic with time and aeration in the glass. Remains youthful and full of promise. But no doubt a convincing rendition of PN! — 7 years ago

Deep dark berry juice. Complex tannins and spiced balanced body. A big rendition of what Northern California produces. — 8 years ago

The Satèn category of Franciacorta represents Blanc de Blancs at lower pressures, below 5 atmospheres. Pizzini crafts a delicate rendition, with a gentle seductive fizz. Almond dust, brioche, and lemon confit. — 8 years ago

From the Georges Mugneret domaine that became Mugneret-Gibourg and now called Georges Mugneret-Gibourg, the sisters made another winner here. There are no hard Nuits edges and the cool red/blue fruit just glides over the palate, but resonates and lasts. Very pure and clean, it is a delicious red Burg entering a long phase of drinkability. Bottle has the old stained glass Saint label, not the pretty Chagall-like newer rendition, but what's in the bottle is sure pretty. Really fine wine. — 9 years ago

Slight floral quality to the edgy sweetness and gorgeous black fruit. I suspect some co-fermentation here (Viognier). Lovely, lively, and lithe on the palate. Plenty of acids here, so this will pair with nearly any meats. Just to reiterate, this is not your typical Paso syrah (no offense), but an elegant rendition of the grape. — 12 years ago

Mid crimson with some transparency - the appearance of a red burgundy. Aromas of tar and rose petals with licorice/aniseed. Aromatic and savoury together - not a lot of fruit on the palate. A good food wine and a good rendition of a new world Nebbiolo - not unlike a Langhe Rosso. — 7 years ago

This nose takes on a dominant red fruit aromatic profile that is beautifully connected with rose water accents. Less stony on the bouquet than the 2015 Beaucastel, the 2014 rendition also yields orange rind and smoked brisket aromas that make this nearly impossible to put down. The palate is both lithe and dense as the wine currently showcases Hoisin sauce, Umami, blood orange puree, red cherry syrup and black tea flavors. This is an absolute show-stopper at this juncture, showing a slightly more feminine profile than the 2015 — but this is every bit as good. Drink 2019-2030- 96 — 7 years ago

Damn fine rendition as well. A bit more masculine than the Latta, but still vey representative of what Grenache should be... all red fruits and sandalwood. — 9 years ago

Love the comments on this wine about "dirt and cherries," @Jaime Godinez or "half Beaujolais and half Syrah," @Scott Barber, really true, Schioppettino is an interesting contrast of grapey fruit vs peppery foresty mineral characters. This is a great rendition of this rare varietal. — 11 years ago

Needs time, but with potential yet to be unpacked. Fruity Grenache leads the way in this cool climate rendition. — 11 years ago

2012. Lemon honey with refreshing floral notes. This is an off-dry, acidic wine that is drinking great now. Good rendition of a Loire Valley Chenin. — 11 years ago

Tawny rim, lovely perfume. Great rendition of a southern Rhone style - Grenache Shiraz Mataro Cinsault. Full and concentrated even at 9 years. Delicious jubey flavours. Losing a half point for an overly heavy bottle. 18. — 11 years ago
