Amazing Merlot!!! Pure pleasure - an extraordinary mix of power freshness and complexity. A masterpiece. Those who know me, know that I don't easily grant 5 stars. But here each star is well deserved!!!
My score 95, drink 2014-2028!
The wine is almost black in color, the nose is seductive and essentially you fall in love with this wine from the first sniff. The aromas are rich and concentrated, plum, black cherry, sweet spices, licorice, coffee, chocolate, blueberry jam and much more. Body is full, chewy, rich intense , rich and extracted, a rare combination of fruit forward and freshness, the tannins are round, smooth and caressing, the light acidity keeps you addicted. The finish is long, and addictive.. Impossible to stop drinking it — 10 years ago

Really enjoyed this wine. Also felt the alcohol pretty quick, not sure if it was the wine or lack of food but either way I give it five stars — 10 years ago
White Hermitage from one of the rising stars of the Northern Rhone Valley. A great expression of the Marsanne grape. Stonefruit, honey, white flowers with a full and almost lanolin texture on the palatte. A subtly sweet nut butter finish. Only a few dozen cases exported to the US. — 10 years ago
This is a Valpolicella blend without Molinara but with some Croatina. Grapes come from volcanic soils of San Briccio Cru, near Mezzane. 2006 is a 4-stars vintage, but here we are at the top peak of quality, awesome wine. — 11 years ago

Tastes in Bordeaux last night. Would give it "4 stars" but want to not be overly biased ;-). Showing beautifully, nice fruit & tannin structure. Clean & elegant finish. — 12 years ago
Seashells, baseball chalk, this Greco is the tousle-haired brother to flinty Chablis from a different father. Wants seafood, camping under the stars, and sexy appetizers with roasted garlic. A delightful wingman to all the fun life asks us to have! — 10 years ago
Red berry and earth aromas with soft tannins and a hint of oak — 10 years ago
Exceptional showing at Pappas. Hidden gem on an incredible list of all stars — 10 years ago
Ushg, marta 2 stars celebration! Tasted good and yes i was wasted — 10 years ago
3 things I learned tonight: 1) everything tastes better with Brahms. 2) Mendelssohn was always young... He died in his thirties, and 3) this wine is amazing with spicy sausage under the stars. — 11 years ago
One of the stars of the Return to Terroir LA portfolio tasting...so good! — 11 years ago
I can taste why this wine was awarded 4.5 stars by Platter! — 12 years ago
