This one took is on a journey from alcohol heavy in the beginning to Bologna and fruity and ending smooth as silk. Had it at Mr Parkers in Palm Springs ... No corkage! Went well with the Kobe short ribs and a Sirloin. Wine was better than the food by a mile. — 10 years ago
Not as zippy as NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Oily mouthfeel, lime zest, short finish but plenty refreshing! Makes it a lot easier to sip by itself, especially on our 80 degree night — 11 years ago
Supple, ripe and round. The elevated alcohol in this wine drives the aged aromatics to a fever pitch. In short, a beautiful wine. — 11 years ago
1996 vintage. Typical pyrazine nose (bell pepper, bay leaf) with raspberry. Soft tannins stop-short the ripe red berry character. — 10 years ago
Savory, meaty, forest & bramble. Big black & blue fruit, mid-weight, long sweet tannin. Short money for good Cali. #wine @Esoterica Bonny Doon Vineyard Proper Claret '12 — 10 years ago
