Stunning example of Jay's talent and the fruit sources he has access to. Mostly Abbey Ridge with a little Charlie's thrown in for good measure. Soft and approachable, with that terroir note of blood and iron running through it. Classic Dundee! — 9 years ago

Burgundian in spirit! An exceptional white showing the talent behind the wine in not so much what was but what was not done. Minerality, oak that is integrating well, apple citrus and kiwi fruit, with a beam of acidity, this is the best modern profile white Portuguese wine I have had to date. A clean, persistent finish rounds things out nicely. Bravo Sandra! — 13 years ago

Purchased on release, direct. Has been on my short list to open for awhile, but hadn't found the right occasion. Finally decided opening it IS the occasion, so Monday seemed good enough.

Perfectly showing its age, with a distinct aroma that on the surface is a beautiful chord of petrichor. With some further coaxing and some concentration the underlying elements begin to show. Smoldering forest floor leads the way to kirsch, asphalt, garrigue, and herbes de Provence. This really shows off Trevisan's talent to make balanced wines, which is especially noteworthy considering his neighborhood. His restraint paid dividends with this beauty. So happy I waited for this one. — 9 years ago

What a value. Like a mini Meursault. Bit tight on the nose but palate has big, ripe Meursault fruit, lovely acidity and length. This is showing out of its mind. Never would guess BB blind. What a showing for this. Florent is a talent. — 10 years ago

It's easy to understand why Coquerel calls Sauvignon Blanc its flagship varietal—clearly the result of excellent fruit quality combined with the sheer talent of Bordeaux-born winemaker, Christine Barbe. The 2012 Le Petit Coquerel boasts a vibrant nose of gooseberries and lime zest, punctuated by spicy undertones reminiscent of juniper berries and white pepper. Lovely on the palate, and texturally quite round, with pithy layers of white grapefruit and star fruit. Herbaceous at the close with a long, lingering finish. — 10 years ago

Superb. J-F Mugnier's incredible talent is so evident here. Ruby red, no sign of age on the rim, this wine is full of life on the palate after 9 years in the bottle -- and this was a half bottle which should have accelerated the development of the wine! Full bodied, rich, and tannic, arguably lacking acidity on the attack, this is a Burgundy lover's wine. Mugnier is a genius -- and the prices he commands justified.... — 9 years ago

I know '11 was an off year in Napa, but I fully believe supreme talent is always evident, and this wine is an excellent example. If I wouldn't of seen the black purple color and legs that never ended, I would have guessed Zin based off the smell. This juice is rich, but not over bearing. Smelt of blackberry pie, vanilla, crushed cherries. Tasted like a perfect medley of blueberries and blackberries and had very nice structure to it. For $40'ish/bottle, yes please. — 10 years ago

Nicholson Jones White Label Cabernet 2012 vintage is a wonderful full bodied wine. Smooth from the first sip with a strong fruit presence. Think Caymus 40th anniversary cabernet on steroids. This was a treasure from a young wine producer with a talent for making really good wines. A ten from start to finish. — 10 years ago
