@Chris MacLean you would like this wine. Like a Greek version of barbera good acidity and well structured — 8 years ago

My favourite cuvée from Egly - 100% Pinot Noir. No Pinot Meunière Delectable. Only 30 cms of Top soil and the roots go straight into the chalk. One could smell the chalky minerality. Average age of the vines is 40 years - with the oldest planted in Ambonnay in 1946 with base Wine coming from the 2009 and 2010 vintages. Great power Flavour and Intensity. — 8 years ago

Deep Crimson with purple rim. Has the colour of a less than 5 year old wine. Earthy tarry aromas. On the palate very savoury and enticing with meaty notes. Old School Hunter Valley Shiraz from Vineyards worked by the legendary Maurice O'Shea in the 1940s and 50s. Like the wines O'Shea made this will live for decades although this wine is more full bodied than these wines from that era. About 10 years ago I was lucky to buy a 1952 (my birth year) at Auction made by the legend. Still holding up at 50+ years of age and barely medium bodied. Had another bottle 457 weeks later on 22/4/26. This was the ripe rich South Australian model which thankfully they have left behind and returned to their medium bodied roots. This was dense Ruby and opaque. Ripe rich and tarry. A full bodied palate with great length and pronounced tannins. Already 20 years old and somewhat of a pup. Could cellar for at least another 10 years. Had another bottle on 23rd April 2026 with consistent notes. This is a huge wine and not true to the Hunter Valley style. Rich ripe and tannic. Will cellar for another 5 to 10 years plus. — 9 years ago

Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner is a 4th generation winemaker from a family with farming and winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby (darkest Pinot almost looks like a Cab) with aromas of ripe berries and spice notes. The palate shows rich black fruits, blackberries, plums and black cherries, vanilla spice, cedar and cacao. Rich soft tannins, firm acidity on lingering finish ending with mineral tones. Nice! — 9 years ago
Very dry, mild tannins, hints of caramel/umami in the body, crisp finish. No coarseness — 12 years ago
Really reminds me of burgundy. Neutral oak. Has a bit of that burgundy gym sock action going on. Lots of pretty, wild dandelion flowers. Great acid. — 12 years ago

The Osteiner grape is a German grape variety created from crossing of Riesling and Silvaner. Despite its German roots, Rippon is perhaps the most notable producer of this variety. Nose of lemon, lime, ripe melon and white fresh florals. On the palate, fresh, clean, round and brilliant. Beautiful acidity, lemon, lime, melon, stone fruits, pear, fruit blossoms and citrus peel. Another photo of their amazing view and owner Jo Mills with my wife. Jo is such a great host with amazing passion and energy for making great wine. — 9 years ago
A lighter nose with a palate of cranberry, strawberry and a light zesting of orange. A darker, deeper rosé with a long fruity finish. — 10 years ago
This is the Malbec I imagine our grandfather's drinking. Starting with a dark berry and progressing to a peppery, leathery finish. Deep Roots Malbec would be a great dinner wine, especially with a custom cut steak dinner. — 11 years ago

Shows Sta. Rita Hills roots. Etherial and floral in the nose, very elegant. White pepper, dill. Stems included!!! Decent complexity. Palate is not so impressive, one dimensional right now.. Very mild acidity- rather fruity then mineral. Overall, elegant CA Pinot. Pricy. Need to visit the tasting room in Lompoc. — 8 years ago

I still love this Pinot but the 2011 was amazing I drank at least a case. It does not have the same feel seems more heavy with darker fruit notes. — 9 years ago
