Medium body with a tangy cherry profile up front similar to Brunello and finishing with dark fruit and soft tannins. Not as much terroir or funk as their flagship rouge but a unique wine and similar overall at a great price. Obviously perfect with mezze, lamb, eggplant, etc. — 11 years ago

A wine that punches way above its price point in the mid $20s. Not typically the pepper and spice of the flagship "Langi" in this warm 2008 vintage. Overall a very good wine for a reasonable price. 17.5- — 11 years ago

The only negative to this bottle is its a little young. In 5 years, this will be 5 star ... Of course, good luck finding it. Bryant's flagship Cabernets range from $400 to $600 per bottle. Their DB4 is a steal under $100. New world fruit yielding old world complexity. An amazing bottle to share with great friends. Cheers! — 11 years ago

Enjoying sharing a bottle of this aromatic representation from Ampuis with our favorite Viognier grape grower John Simpson today. He has retired this year and we are going to miss the beautiful Viognier grapes we have made into our flagship white wine since 2008! — 12 years ago

With respect to Washington producers, Quilceda Creek is in a league of it's own. I found the Galitzine to have a slightly different profile than their flagship Columbia Valley Cabernet, which often has a unique fingerprint of soy and Asian spices. Even so, this Red Mountain Cab is exquisite and pristine. Notes of violets, graphite, wild plums, boysenberry, incense, and smoke. Well-structured, with firm, precise tannins. The structure, in fact, overwhelms the fruit at this stage, more cellaring is needed. — 11 years ago

One of the best wines under $45 you can find. Incredible fruit and complexity. Rivals its flagship Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red at nearly 1/3 the price. Amazing wine. Cheers!! — 11 years ago
