Top of our list for most beautiful wineries in Napa. Katherine loves the Red Rock Terrace (I'm a Volcanic Hill guy). This is the complete package! Tanin fruit acidity finish...age worthy forever! At 10 years old, this bottle is a baby. A big baby, but still could could another 20. — 9 years ago

Heres a monster. This wine rocked. From the famous Sanford and Benedict vineyard and at the top of the hill this Pinot was a surprise in a flight of more famous wines. Sautéed mushroom forest floor crack was beautiful mid palate and beyond. Gorgeous effort. — 11 years ago

First time I see anything from them in Boston.A decent Saison, with raisins and faint cloves overtones on top of hay and grass. I hope the rest of their stuff is significantly better — 11 years ago

Very good Pinot from 2012 Santa Rita Hills around Santa Barbara. Foley has many wineries and is a high quality producer. Owns Merus and Chalk Hill also. Nice spice and vanilla flavor on top of cherry fruit — 12 years ago

2010 Malvazija. Kozlović is top malvazija, as good as it gets. Only better Malvazija than this one is his own other barand, from the hill of Santa Lucia. — 14 years ago

Lovely straw green/gold color with lots of glycerin. At eight years this wine is full of CHARDONNY flavors without oak tones. With salmon this was a good match. Stony Hill produces pure top quality CHARDONNY . Kudos to Mike Chelini and his wine making skills. — 9 years ago

Very enjoyable. Granny Smith apple on top of a tropical but not overly sweet palate. Need another year or 2 and will score 2-3 points higher. — 10 years ago

This wine is deep ruby in color with just a little light getting through the glass. The nose is pretty and flowery and fruity at first, but Mr. Savory sneaks in after it opens up a bit. Right at the top of the glass are smoky, leathery spices and earth. The palate is full of black and blue berries with a layer of minerals over them. The earthy component lasts well into the finish. — 10 years ago

Dominant Syrah with a touch of Viognier, this wine starts to get more elegant with rounder tannins, very ripe black fruits and wild berries, the oak is well integrated, a nice wine that will pair nicely with rich dishes :) Quinta do Monte d’Oiro (“Hill of Gold”) was founded by winemaker José Bento dos Santo in 1990. His goal was to develop top-quality wines in a European style while respecting his vineyard’s unique terroir — 11 years ago

180 cases Grenache Syrah and Mourvèdre blend the only one in Tuscany Syrah at the top of the hill the Grenache and Mourvèdre are in the middle of the hill barrel fermented then put in concrete eggs which helps hold in the heat during fermentation this also helps refresh the wines also they also a have 3 rows of Carignan the wine has a bit of floral garrigue but more earthy with dark spices and sundried fruit black licorice a cross between Rhône and Tuscany. Very smooth and velvety tannins with great freshness and ripe berry pie like fruit with dried flowers and fresh earth notes very sexy juice. Finish 45+ sage Thyme rosemary the dried herbs found in this region. Excellent+ — 13 years ago

A group of guys decided to meet up at our Wine Storage facility and bust out some unique bottles! Scores and notes to follow!

I have two of these courtesy of the man, the myth, the legend, @Martin G Rivard . WOW. Out of the 15+ wines that were opened tonight, this was easily in the top half, if not near the top 5. Intoxicating nose. Cork was basically black. Blueberry compote and blackberry preserves on the nose. Vanilla and plum finish. Hands down the best mixed black wine I've tasted to date. Martin, THANK YOU! — 9 years ago

This blend is quite a good drink to share with friends, even if you don't like the wine all that much, the view from the top of the hill where their new tasting room is located is simply beautiful and worth the trip. — 10 years ago

Structured style, generous in it's dense fruit expression. The Busardières vineyard (soil of calcareous clay on top of tuffeau) is located high up in the hills of the Bourgueil appelation, protected from cold northern wind by a huge forest on top of the hill. Grapes get ripe here a bit easier. Charming expression of Cabernet Franc. — 11 years ago
