Blind picked it for Rizz, but the yeasty and leesy nose did lead for a bit of deception along with slight subdued nose, opened up though with a bit of time. Palate was were the excitement laid on this occasion with texture and acid being key. — 9 years ago
Like a walk through a flower garden; tuberose, acacia, stargazer Lilly, spruce, narcissus. Dry, dried dark juniper berry, lots of spruce on finish. Medium acidity. Streamlined mouthfeel. Lingering aftertaste of earth. — 9 years ago
Really enjoyed this cab, Syrah, petit Syrah blend. Deep color, heavy mouthfeel, solid tannins, plum, blackberry, cherry, earthy tones — 10 years ago
Stargazer lilies and raspberries on the nose and very acidic on the palate — 8 years ago
Domaine Henri Jayer Echézeaux 1988: Lush and silky, bursting with sweet black fruit and a commanding, complex perfume of Asian spice, musk, and minerals. Wines from the late, legendary Henri Jayer represent a singularly heightened benchmark for Burgundy and Pinot Noir. They are Led Zeppelin conquering the Garden in 1973 or Kurt Cobain rasping behind the stargazer lilies: pure glory, glorious purity. beetroot and menthol on the nose, velvet on the tongue, and exhilaration in the heart. Wines like these make even the most law-abiding drinker contemplate a life on the lam. — 10 years ago

Really nice structure. Apples and white flowers, rounded minerality but just enough acid at the end. Really nice. — 9 years ago
The Tedeschi Family Winery Stargazer Vineyards Napa Merlot 2006 is the bitch that everyone would die for, especially the ladies. Rich, full, wild and seductive like Carole in Top Gun hollering at Goose, this wine opens up and puts out intensely with an unbelievably deep scream, "Take me now or lose me forever". — 10 years ago
