Surprisingly flavorful for a Sauvignon Blanc — 7 years ago
Very approachable. Evolution of this bottle was over a 4 hour decant. First taste at opening, was tight dense gorgeous fruit, cassis, cigar, stone, and crisp Howell air. Second taste an hour later was bigger, bold, strong ruby fruit, less cigar but tobacco was still there. The fruit became longer on the finish and the density was so sexy. Taste like how you encounter sexiness tasting. Rudy, Tom, Michael and Red Cap Fam doing it really really well! — 7 years ago
1st 2017 juice for me, Tom is gifted, this wine is joyful, like Beaujolais nouveau for Australia. Not so much Poulsard like this year but absolutely lovely, light and pretty, of course nothing like your typical Barossa Shiraz, a good wine to blow your Aussie palate friend's minds with. — 8 years ago
I kept wanting to sing "I dont pop molly I rock Tom Gore". Really interesting blend and enjoyed this, the tempranillo was noticeable and a welcome twist on the classic meritage. Needs a couple more years to meld, but I would buy this if I ever see it. — 8 years ago

At Le P’tit Plateau in Montreal w Mari & Tom — 6 years ago
With the irrepressible Virginia Willcock. A cracking cab. Savoury, elegant, but powerful. With red snapper over fire, with saltbush, costal rosemary, beach mustard, dune spinach. — 6 years ago
Fridays are for Franc! And I. LOVE. THIS. WINE. I could not believe the aromatics that exploded from the bottle when I pulled the cork. Seriously it was like there was a blueberry pie baking in the kitchen. Decanted for an hour or so. Deep magenta in the glass. Loads of Cherry and blueberry on the palate mingle with vanilla, chocolate, herbs, and earth - very rich, but so incredibly balanced at the same time. I’ve been a longtime fan of Detert wines and this very well may be my favorite vintage of their Franc to date. I’m just wowed. Can’t wait to revisit this again and see how it evolves. Really well done @Tom Garrett (as always). — 7 years ago
Barnyard funk nose. Dark cherry, vanilla, spice and minerals on the palate. Moderate tannins and acid in the finish. — 8 years ago

Cola. Cherries. A little smoke. Medium American bodied. Aromatic. — 7 years ago
Very well balance Cab that has just the right blend of fruit forward and some tannins in the back end. I enjoyed this wine very much but not as much as watching the Mets with Tom As a pitcher, that was priceless.
I will look to acquire more of this wine since it has a few years still. — 7 years ago
Hard to express how good this was. Somehow this bottle managed to retain all of what was likely great about it on release (acid balance, snappy minerality) and just ADD complexity and length. Stunning. Very long finish which tempered mushrooms and choose your own umami with a painful tidal pool and steely finish. The Eddy w/ C&C — 8 years ago
