Fantastic structure (big acid, firm medium tannin) on this wine; has plenty of years to develop. Jumps out with a tart red berry wave before the sun-dried tomato profile rises from underneath. Savory, sweet herbs throughout. Lovely. — 10 years ago
Rich big cherry floral and barrel sweet tobacco
Loves air time, big mouthful, no angles, red fruit wave that dissolves to dried cherry and raisin. — 10 years ago
We really enjoyed it. Bottle itself is heavy duty. — 10 years ago
Stunning! Great purity and a strong sense of minerality lift this un-evolved to considerable heights. Juicy citrus, cool herbs, chalk and perfectly judged oak treatment with piercing acidity, this is built for the long haul, it has more in common with Friuli's greatest wines than high end Bdx. New wave stuff! — 10 years ago

Deep, rich, full of berries -- LOVED it!! — 10 years ago
Excellent example of new wave Aussie Chardonnay. Mac nails it this vintage. Racy (natural) acidity, some matchstick flintiness and a sneaky richness that keeps it from being severe. Most heard comment at the in-store (from peeps used to the Cali version): this is really Chardonnay? — 11 years ago
I don't feel like there is much more to say other than if you haven't tried this Fleurie you are really missing out on a new wave expression here. So in balance and unique for the terroir. — 10 years ago

Absolutely one of the best Chardonnays under $20; this wine was perfect; everything you love about oaky Chardonnay without being too much. Buttery, but balanced! — 10 years ago
Very smooth. One of the best cabs I've had in a while! — 10 years ago
Light, fresh and tasty. A style that lends itself to what Sam Adams seems to do well. — 10 years ago
God bless leftovers from @jams jerfy 's rider. 2010. Delicious. — 11 years ago
Very dry initial impression with pleasant hints of strawberry and raspberry in second wave. Pale pink color. Well worth it for low $50s retail. — 12 years ago
