Very bright, very pretty red fruit (raspberry, red cherry) but overripe nor jammy. Lightly spiced, graphitey mineral, light smoke. Very pure. Light-medium bodied, very fresh acidity driving thorough very sour cherry notes, very bright and juicy, similar structure to a decent Nuits St George village wine. Good elegance, lively freshness — 10 years ago
Drier and more robust than this winery's Batteau Red but just as good with smoke and warm fruit flavors that linger. #vawine — 10 years ago
Orange peel citrus spritzer with mint and crystalline honey notes couched in licorice/anise and unrefined sugar nose. Almost gingerbread.this little capuchin monkey drummed on my tongue with his voodoo thigh-bone until it's underside was ringed with sudsy bathtub botanicals.black licorice monkey milk, with citron eyes in vanilla merengue. Mouth tingling residues. — 10 years ago
this is good! Leathery and fruity... Like I would imagine a gay man in San Francisco to want to be. Pretty awesome and I didn't have to listen to any George Michael. So win/win. ... Even though I like me some George Michael. ... I like this wine more than most of his stuff. — 11 years ago

Had the 2012 (can only find the 2012 magnum on Wally's Wine and Spirits Website, and well worth it as it's above and beyond the '13) on our honeymoon in Kauai at the St Regis Kauai Grill. Wonderful wine that barely needs need to breathe and can be pretty much paired with anything. — 10 years ago

Still young tasting. Tight with a gamey flavor and hints of licorice in the finish. A very nice example of a Fine St. George. — 9 years ago
