What an elegant wine. The deft integration of all the wines component pieces in its overall sense of equilibrium was near perfect. And it tasted 🤤 yummy.  — 4 years ago

This vintage doesn’t reach the heights of the amazing ‘16, but it is very nice. Classic sangio, medium bodied, screaming to be paired with a hearty meal. — 5 years ago

Chilled a little over cellar temperature, notes forthcoming...

Nose has insane qualities, not sure I've ever experienced a Riesling like this, beeswax, grapefruit pith, fresh cut white grapefruit, freshly cut spring hay and faint wet limestone.

Palate is restrained, yet screaming acidity, pulverized SweeTARTS, honey poured over citrus pith, limestone dust and faint white flowers.

Holy crap this is good!

Bocksbeutel with a glass stopper, unique closure for the classic Franconia bottle. — 7 years ago

Silky tannins, fresh raspberry and tart cherry, earthy mushroom, moss, wet soil, dried rose petals. DELICIOUS. Keeps the palate intrigued - I keep picking up the glass to see what I’ll taste next. A wonderful collab between Raj Parr and Screaming Eagle. — 5 years ago

11’Colgin Cellars Tychson Hill Vineyard. Located just north of Saint Helena. Not that far from Grace family Vineyards.

Tightly wound straight out of the bottle. Decanted for 90 minutes. Certainly has made a world of difference.
Still full-bodied & depth, bursting with dark fruit, licorice flavor’s, back by nice floral notes, polished tannins. Slightly backwards!?! Last time I had this was five years ago & it wasn’t open for business. Now it’s screaming drink me. — 5 years ago

Screaming acidity, and I really enjoyed the use of oak. It was both familiar and entirely new, which made it a treat to drink — 8 years ago

This is honestly the best Chardonnay I've had. I don't normally drink white, let alone Chardonnay, but this is just spectacular. The hints of caramelised popcorn with a dash of heaven take me on a whirlwind to some magical land off yonder. — 9 years ago

Dam that’s pretty serious wine for $24. 13.5% Old vine Mencia. Loamy mineral. Blackberry. Raspberry. Chalky tannin. Best enjoyed while screaming obscenities at the dumbass POTUS on TV. Yes I’m drinking at 3pm on a Tuesday. — 5 years ago

Very hot with persistently grippy tannins. My first HSS, unfortunately from an off year. For the first hour it had an identity crisis, with classic, savory notes crudely juxtaposed to big fruit screaming for attention. The fruit won the screaming match, eventually even overwhelming the signs of oak. This was good, this paired nicely with steak, but I wish this knew who it was as it has so much potential. — 7 years ago

Our first wine from the Wynns dinner with chief Wine maker Sue Hodder. This is a very approachable young yet soft Riesling aimed at early consumption. A fuller fruity palate with light acid. I could happily drink this now. Short term cellaring. — 7 years ago

Confit lime skin, showing some paraffin oil, screaming acid to go along with the ripeness of the fruit. Outstanding wine. — 8 years ago
