One of my Napa secrets which now shall not be. It's too good not to share. — 10 years ago
This wine slams, not a fan of peachy viogniers, this wine shows what can be done with viognier if treated properly, dont know his secret but wish more domestic producers would follow his lead, great job... — 10 years ago
Best wine so far this year. Unfortunately it's not Spanish :( nor Californian, but it is epic. Jancis Robinson said it's only good until 2010. It's totally alive and kicking. New world meets old world. Fing Auzzies have done it again. — 10 years ago
Having read Clive Coates and Jancis Robinson comments on Clos de Vouget my expectations had been adjusted a light Pinot which opened up with good fruit raspberry and strawberry with mint notes a good Otago NZ could equal this, went well with baked Salmon — 11 years ago
Simply delicious, balanced, lively red fruits, soft finish. Not a complicated wine but high on the delicious factor — 11 years ago

Sometimes that shark, he looks right into you. Right into your eyes. You know the thing about a shark, he's got...lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll's eye. When he comes at ya, doesn't seem to be livin'. Until he bites ya and those black eyes roll over white. And then, ah then you hear that terrible high pitch screamin' and the ocean turns red and spite of all the poundin' and the hollerin' they all come in and rip you to pieces.
Y'know by the end of that first dawn, lost a hundred men! I don't know how many sharks, maybe a thousand! I don't know how many men, they averaged six an hour. On Thursday mornin' chief, I bumped into a friend of mine, Herbie Robinson from Cleveland. Baseball player, boson's mate. I thought he was asleep, reached over to wake him up. Bobbed up and down in the water, just like a kinda top. Up ended. Well... he'd been bitten in half below the waist. Noon the fifth day, Mr. Hooper, a Lockheed Ventura saw us, he swung in low and he saw us. He's a young pilot, a lot younger than Mr. Hooper, anyway he saw us and come in low. And three hours later a big fat PBY comes down and start to pick us up. You know that was the time I was most frightened? Waitin' for my turn. I'll never put on a lifejacket again. So, eleven hundred men went in the water, three hundred and sixteen men come out, the sharks took the rest, June the 29, 1945. Anyway, we delivered the bomb. — 11 years ago

This delivers a heckuva a lot of Barolo character for a $30 wine. Beautiful high-toned cherries, roses, and gaminess on the nose. I can't stop smelling it. Only showing some of that on the palate with tons of grip on the backend. Very more-ish as Jancis Robinson would say. Serious value here - can't remember the last time something at this price point delivered this kind of magic. Post script - after about an hour, this sadly settles down into a smoother, but much less intriguing wine. Gaminess is almost gone. Still a good Nebbiolo, but not the specialness that was there before. Will it re-emerge with time? — 10 years ago

Nice red fruit flavours, but alongside a good background of wood and spice. Summer evening, perfect time — 10 years ago

Wonderful recommendation from Jancis Robinson we had it with bolognese. It disappeared very quickly... — 11 years ago
Tasted at the Janis Robinson event. Nice with a Little spice, not a huge finish but very solid overall. Very surprising. Maybe the best VA wine I've had. Janis also highly recommended. — 12 years ago
