On a quest to find the perfect wine to pair with Pho, I picked up this lively Lambrusco from Kermit Lynch...two years ago. I found it while moving around bottles, happily, though the jury is still out as to the pairing. My beef bone broth is still reducing as I type this. As to the wine, it's ruby-hued, slightly cloudy and appropriately spritzy. Plums and figs conjoin earth and decaying rose petal. There's plenty of tannic bite, with firm structure and a pleasant herbaceous leesy, if brief, finish. — 8 years ago

The jury is out as of now for this wine. My current tasting of this private label, Caymus produced Cab, shows aromas of ripe dark fruit and herb notes. On the palate, cherry, blackberry and sweet currant flavors with hints of cacao and earthy bramble tones. Fully developed tannins on the smooth finish. Caymus wines are noted for being approachable while young, but will 1858 stand up with some time? May be a little pricy at $50. I will check back with 1858 in a few years.

thinking this was the 2014 reserve release.... it's unico and me likey unico. jury still out for me on whether or not the blending to achieve the house style is the way to go. had some lesser vintages that reservations beat but also some killer single vintages that smoke the reserva. all about the dirt and those great vintages are the ones that have it. — 10 years ago

The jury is still deliberating on this one. It wasn't bad, I was just expecting more. More dark fruit, more finish, more intensity...just more. Not sure if those things come with letting the wine open up more. — 11 years ago

Only one way to celebrate not being selected for jury duty...a purple bottle! Surely a purple bottle of burgundy will turn the tide. Right? — 11 years ago

Wow @Paul T this one is full bodied. Dark candied cherries, and an overload of tar, pencil lead and black fruit. The label says Pinot but the jury is out on that. — 9 years ago

Fair to say the jury is still out on whether Shiraz works in the northern part of Margaret River but this is very good. Plummy with a hint of butterscotch (oak) and touch of black pepper. Medium bodied - fleshy with softening tannins. Short term cellaring. Very satisfying. — 9 years ago

Definitly woodsy with a good amount of acidity. I get some apple in there. Should have left it open longer than I did. Overall. Very good. Jury still out on the food pairing. I'm thinking Jamaican #redwine #red #americansyrah #syrah #syrahs — 11 years ago

Delicious. 2011 bad year ,? Not from this jury of my peers. ! Red bell pepper, black cherry, and dried herbs with a touch of jalapeno. Tannins linger with a nice dark deep red color. Nose of dark fruits. Here's to you Palmer@Palmer Emmitt — 9 years ago

This was all about "dark " -color, fruit,flavors. For me the jury is out if this will come around to from where it comes from or remains lost. — 10 years ago

Kath loved this....jury still out for me.... Flavor amazing...honeysuckle, white dried peach, orange blossom honey. Pineapple leaves on the nose, very interesting. Very temperature sensitive to max flavor. Just ordered another bottle — 11 years ago

The jury is out. This can't be a German white burgundy as the name implies because burgundy refers to the region...TBDrunk. The verdict...mildly "cheesy" inn that pleasant way, nice minerally aftertaste. Basically it's an Evie-pleasing wine - reminded me of a Riesling (I've never met one I didn't like). "Weissburgunder" is the German name for Pinot blanc - merci Wikipedia! — 11 years ago
