Very delightful. Always a risk when trying a new wine and I'll say the risk was very much worth it. Smooth berry flavors, lightly tannic. Just right in my opinion. Definitely will be drinking this again. Maybe a different vintage next time. Can't wait. — 11 years ago

Very good, buttery Chardonnay. Was worried the 2006 would be too old, so didn't risk bringing to a restaurant. It aged very nicely. Wine fridge chewed up the label. — 11 years ago

Dear Lyle ... I can not thank you enough. I know I took a risk opening this a week early after shipment but it turned out amazing. — 12 years ago

From the Tour dArgent wine list. Wow. Wow. I've had this 4 times and 3 of those here in Paris. In the past it was good... Today it was great. Really. The Somm said he picked the best bottle in the cellar for me. I think he's truthful... The color is ruby purple with some bricking age and is mostly opaque. The aromatics in the nose are hard to describe. Amazing. Fruit. Dried flowers and candied something. Asian spice. In the mouth this explodes. I try not to expand on how good a wine is in fear the price goes up and everyone wants it. But in this case there is no risk. What was really good ~10 years ago is now amazing. Worth the price. — 11 years ago

Very low sugars and very good acidity, so there's serious risk to drink it to much... Excellent. — 12 years ago

Nicely aromatic and full bodied but with integrated alcohol, out of the bottle this was angular and dominated by a quinine bitter note, but after 30 minutes was full of yellow and red apples, vanilla, lemon, sweet oyster shell, and smoked sea salt--a pleasing combo of new world ripeness and a Burgundian sense of things in what has become a favorite grape of mine. With more acid this could go longer, but not worth it to risk it. — 11 years ago

Took a risk here as I bought this mostly based on an apparent good price given the 1er Cru label and age. Very nice bottle it turns out near the end of its window. Will drink the rest soon. — 11 years ago

Always a pleasure, even if there always seems to be the risk of facing Putin at the bottom — 12 years ago

We discovered this winery Holus Bolus/Hocus Pocus/Genuine Risk from Everson Royce. We had a private tasting in their Lompoc Wine Ghetto garage and fell in love. This very affordable Roussanne is smooth and beautifully drinkable with hints of honeysuckle, peach and maple. Not sweet but also not tart-perfectly balanced. This is a white wine for any occasion. Goes very well with spicy food - we first had this with Quinoa Chili. — 13 years ago
