Ahhh...now we’re talking. Like a Sancerre - a little less mineral and a little more lime type citrus. Fennel flower. Clean and clear. Good acidity but not sharp. Really enjoy. — 4 years ago

Our server warned us about the high alcohol content- he didn’t realize who he was talking to. We tried to have him shake the bottle and he gave it a polite attempt. — 7 years ago

The girth and weight of this bad boy is ... Remarkable, jarring, and exceptional. I'll be talking about him for a long, long time. I mean it when I say he is one of the top two I've had in recent memory. Can't wait to get back in the sheets for a tumble with this one as soon as possible. — 9 years ago

Not sure what others who have had this reservation are talking about. I just had the 2001 and this wine aged to perfection, cooler was light, brick, Georgia clay, yet the flavors where top notch. Lucky to have it, had their 2011 Brunelo the other day and that is nails as well. — 8 years ago

This wine needs decanting. It changes rapidly. Charcoal notes at the start. Brick. Vanilla. It's that 60 year old gray-haired man who has a lifetime of stories and a relaxed manner about him — 9 years ago

Ok, I know the haters are out there. But seriously in a charming restaurant in a old Wyoming frontier town, and paired with world-class elk tenderloin, this Cab rocked. Or maybe it was the Wyoming Whisky warmup talking... — 9 years ago

Nice meeting Paul Lato and talking about his wines.

This Zotovich Vineyard offering is delicious young but, will evolve into even greater pleasure in 5-6 years.

The body is full, round with beautiful texture. There is nice mix of perfectly ripe red & dark fruits with excellent blue fruits that hover around the plate. Gentle, soft wood use and subtle baking spices. This bottling walks the tightrope of Burgundy with its perfect waterfall acidity and round, soft structure and has Californian well ripen fruits.

He is one of few Southern California producers that doesn’t over extract and brings out those wonderful blue fruits I love in good Pinot Noirs.

Paul’s cousin was also nice to pour us a glass of one of their 2011 Chardonnays that was really beautiful and drinking at its peak. I didn’t get the vineyard designation as it was at the end of the event and security was being aggressive about clearing the hall. But, again, a beautifully textured Chardonnay that was round with beautiful fruit, great acidity and just the right amount of heather-honey notes. 9.5 on the Chardonnay. — 6 years ago

A lot of good Marcassin stories last night. Like an episode of the Jerry Springer Show. Coolest label this side of SQN and always dependable if not thought provoking. Inarguably inviting style. — 8 years ago

Balance from nose to finish for a young Barolo, wow. An elegant Barolo, and by elegant I'm talking graceful fruit nicely balanced by brooding characters of the fine. Black Cherry, fresh cut spring flowers, aged leather, black tea, and tobacco. More medium than heavy but notable in depth that I expect to grow exponentially with 5-15 more years. Massive QPR for the great 2010 vintage. — 9 years ago
