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

Light gold color with green hue. Nose of petroleum, lime, pine tree and rocks. On the palate it is quite fat (Vaseline?), hint of minerals and green with pine and dry herbs flavors, acidity and fruit on the finish. A type of Riesling I’m not having that often, more opulent and ripe, but quite tasty. Very good+ (90)

Drank along a Tonschiefer Riesling Trocken 2012 from Dönnhoff, this Mesh Riesling was the group favorite, but mine was the Dönnhoff for its higher acidity level and the additional “bite” it has.

Wine made by Jeffrey Grosset and Robert Hill Smith, renowned Australian winemakers. Made of Riesling from two vineyards and have an alcohol level of 12.5% #dansmonverre — 11 years ago

Not the best vintage, but this is classic Napa Cabernet. A classic nose, the palate is great, mid-afternoon is amazing and then things get awkward on the finish with dry brittle tannins. Still a good effort though. The Togni style is rooted in the old world as the senior Philip is a Brit. His daughter Lisa now makes the wines but they are of the same family tree for sure. Philip remarkably made the Chappellet wines in the early years and set a reputation there of superb quality and classicism. Looking for a top Napa Cabernet? Togni is one of the best and well priced. They drink well young, but superbly with time. #puritydefined — 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

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 — 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

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. — 13 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. — 10 years ago

Earthy, mineral red with absolutely stunning fruit made on top of a beautiful, chilly hill in Willamette.
This is the wine that made me start taking this world a little more seriously. — 10 years ago
