Ripe and intense fruit but amazing layers of complex spice. From the first plot to be re-planted with American rootstock in 1893.

My first Unti Syrah, lots of dark fruit and brambly notes. Tannins are very fine for 2011 but it went great with my burger at Rootstock! — 11 years ago

2008, Cien Y Pico, Doble Pasta Garnacha Tintorera, Manchuela. Hundred year old Grenache vines on their own rootstock. Heavy extraction and probably no fining nor filtering. Intense red and black berry flavors, countered with a lot of spice. Not your typical Grenache but very tasty. Glad I have 2 more. — 11 years ago

Another marvelous Malbec from Crocker & Starr, Napa. French Malbec rootstock grafted to estate vines. Just the right amount of Petit Verdot added to give this a pleasing sour cherry tang on finish. Has time to go in bottle. =) — 12 years ago

I'm giving it a 9 because #Bobal is a difficult grape and this wine is elegant and well balanced. It's logical that others have said tannic because the grape itself is very thick skinned and tannic and this wine uses some #wholecluster and the combination produces a medium- chewy tannin to the finish of this wine. P F stands for Pie Franco which means original pre philoxera rootstock. Nice wine. For me it's more reminiscent of a Croze Hermitage than a Malbec. — 9 years ago

Not quite in a Jura AOC, but belongs in that section at the store. From a family who provides rootstock to famous producers (Isole e Olena, Rion). Serious full bodied Chard which could be BTG all over town. From Petit Monde who are importing some exciting wine. — 10 years ago

Killer. Better once it warmed up, but fresh Chardonnay with some cool umami and savory going on. Perfect bottle for the whole meal at Rootstock. — 10 years ago

Not quite as exotic, complex, as the Sitia 1999, but still singing with the Provençal-Arabic voice making Crete so unique. Native rootstock, century old, thoughtfully SO2'd, Liatiko from Ziros. — 11 years ago

At winery...actually tasted 2013, which had not been labeled, so used 2012 for picture. Single vineyard called Mylos, which is owned by Monastery. Farmed by Hazidakis, now certified organic, and with 120 year old vines on own rootstock. — 11 years ago

Big kudos here, to the vintners, for providing just a little spice on the nose introducing flavors that present smoothly right after pulling the cork and results in big ole mouthful of jammy red fruit covering the entire palate with proper tannins and an easy finish resonating trails of what started as it drifts down one's throat. I found this, very affordable, yet right-on red wine at Promise Land Market (top-notch craft beer and wine bar that has become my fall hang while back home in Morehead City, NC; checkout the superb yet casual charcuterie). All a delight! (especially the people; come and see...) — 11 years ago

Such an oddity, this wine is really special. The youngest vines that go into this wine are 60 years old and the oldest are 160. They are in their original rootstock too. So dense and and complex, I decanted it for 6 hours and still needed time to open. This wine will last a long time, but still is amazing now! If you know someone with a bottle, be around when they open it. — 9 years ago

So surprising for a hot climate wine! No lack of acidity here! Rich texture, fascinating. Some of the oldest genetic material vilified! Own rootstock, look up a picture of the trellising. Not much else like this! — 10 years ago
