The dimensions of this wine are huge, and I don't mean alcohol, acidity, or tannin, though it has fair bit of all three. There's a depth or a third dimension that only wines from special places have. The fruit is bright and the color pale, but the wine is dark in character. It's the character that Etna has - that rocky, ashy, old balsamic, dusky mountain herb, intense etnosity. — 10 years ago
Rocky, appley nose, lovely and crisp, light, zesty! — 11 years ago
WON for me. Currants, cracked pepper, rocky minerality, some wild flowers in the nose too. The palate is developed but definitely young, well structured but not too bony. Fantastic clean and precise finish. — 11 years ago
Rich, velvety, plush goodness washes over the tongue and lingers like high quality dark chocolate melting slowly. Plum, blackberry, currant, black pepper, leather and cedar all blend wonderfully. — 12 years ago

This is a great cab. Grown on the slopes of Mt Veeder in the Napa Valley. My Feeder is known for it small flavorful grapes due to the rocky soil.. — 11 years ago
Digging deep tonight, still tons of rich baked fruit, stewed with leather and herbal tones. — 11 years ago
Bottle No. 1072 of 1400 Magnums.
Rocky volcanic soils. Aged in french oak barrels for 18 months.
Layers of ripe dark fruits, chocolate, leather and oak. Pretty earthy with hints of herb and pipe tobacco.
Complex, full-bodied and with a satisfying long finish. — 12 years ago
Cola and dark fruit. Long finish. Awesome. — 10 years ago
One of my all time favorite Chards period. Even as high alcohol but balanced by massive frame of acid backbone. It used to remind me of a Mersault but now more a Marcassin Chard with loads of lemon curd, peel, rocky slate envelope evident from the name 'Quarry' in French. High concentration and powerful wine! Not for those who dare Chardonnay made this way. — 10 years ago
A near perfect rosé at a great price. I prefer this soft fruit tempered by a light floral note all properly and proportionately positioned against a mineral intensive rocky bottom as swift waters twist and turn their way downstream leaving one's palate clean and refreshed but laced with the memory of the moment😎🌀 - buy the magnum at my favorite local Morehead City, NC hang - Promise Land Market (thx sweet Janeen and Daniel for spinning some crazy sweet tunage!)! Find this place in all its realness, and drink this wine! — 10 years ago
