1975 was a very difficult vintage, wines were terrible to taste young and needed much time to open up nicely.

Domaine Lafage

Miraflors Rosé Blend 2014

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

Frankland Estate

Rocky Gully Frankland River Shiraz 2013

Nice color of shades of purple, a bit hazy, and a bit bloody red. Nose of nice leather, sweet oak, dried strawberry, sugar plum, and cherry. Taste is warm, leathery, cranberries, zesty, dried strawberries, and a tiny bit of hickory note. Aftertaste is smooth, basically no tannins, a bit zesty, a bit oaky, and medium long. She is lighter compared to usual Shiraz from Aussie. Overall, she is a tasty wine and enjoy her now. — 8 years ago

Durbacher Plauelrain Klingelberger Trocken Riesling 2016

More on the delicious end of the scale on open. Very fruity tangerine. Citrus. Awesomely mineral of course. Nice acidity. Lovely nose. As it opens becoming more serious. Rocky finish. ... fast forward 15 minutes. Ok ... now it’s liable. I’m chewing on rocks in a lemon vineyard. Best lemons ever. Sweet lemons with the acidity of regular lemons. Ok that makes no sense unless you are a lemon geek. Nose is insane. Gods lemon oil. Mad love. Bought from Fass Selections. — 7 years ago

White flowers, lemon (Meyer lemon?), and a whiff of pepper on the nose give way to more of the same, plus a rocky minerality, as you drink. Additional stone fruit aromas might lead you away from Grüner if you're tasting blind. — 9 years ago

Golan Heights Winery

Yarden Galilee Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Deep, deep purple / Inky in color with a dark purple rim. Still Shows a very young age.

The nose is very distinctive to an Israeli Cabernet.
Beautiful and soft nose of blueberries, blackberries, black currants, earth, leather, licorice, mocha, smoke, vanilla, oak, toast, spices and peppercorn.

Full-bodied, smooth and elegant, with an awesome mouthfeel, medium acidity and long running legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with ripe black berries, cherries, tobacco, blueberries, black currants, earth, chocolates, sweet raisins, spices and peppercorn.

Long fruity finish with round, soft tannins and spices.

What an amazing Cabernet Sauvignon from Israel. Elegant, smooth, refreshing and Well-balanced. Drinkable by itself or with a big piece of steak. Good now, and would be good in the next 8 years, depending on the level of tannins you prefer.

Very enjoyable and complex. What a treat. Needs 1 hour to properly open up.

High in alcohol, but not noticeable at all. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels. Grapes grown in the Golan Heights, on rocky, volcanic soils.

15% alcohol by volume.

'La Carrière' Knights Valley Chardonnay

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. — 9 years ago

I Custodi

Ætneus Etna Rosso Nerello Blend 2008

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
