Black cherry, a little tarragon, black pepper spice and black tea. Cab franc’s usual funkiness is restrained here. — 9 years ago

So interesting as this evolved in the glass. Texture and richness. Citrus pith like with fresh avidity and slight tannin. Funky as can be — 10 years ago

Exceptional nose, red fruit forward, high quality and dense rich flavors. Mineralality lingering mid pallet. Castello di Amorosa is referred to as the Disneyland of Napa Valley. They have a wine for every price point but not enough attention is paid to their upper end wines. Exceptional 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 11 years ago

Drank with Derek and Stacey 3/14/15. Fantastic. A little bit of oak. Derek says "floral toast" and he's right. — 11 years ago

First time checking in since bottling. Like a laser beam of dark, intense fruit with very woodsy overtones. — 12 years ago

A proud Malbec. Mix of flavor with personality. Definitely worth another bottle. Old cheese a good friend. Steak even better — 12 years ago

Solid product, but lacks depth. Heat is pleasant but not overpowering. The vanillin on the other hand is overpowering. — 8 years ago

Smashing wine. Comparable to aged Chenins like those from Joly but with a gritty, gripping quality that can only be a sign of the vines' age. The 2005 consumed tonight had another 20 years of elegance. Unfortunate that this was our only bottle! — 11 years ago

The Chenin Blanc adds another dimension to the predominantly Chardonnay based wine. Just right acidity leaves room for flavors to be enjoyed. Enjoyed in Chardonnay glasses, not flutes. Terrific! — 11 years ago

Given my predisposition for temperanillos and malbecs, I was surprised how much I liked this. Light and somewhat sweet. — 11 years ago

Lovely wine. Clear and bright with glimmering pale lemon colors and a fresh and crisp aroma of new basketballs and rubber hose like a good Riesling from Mosel along with honey and honeysuckle notes. Lively and good acidity on the palate it has a lot of expression and would go great with Asian or Indian cuisine. — 11 years ago
