I have had a Chardonnay from Paragon Vineyard before,and this reminds me of it, quite a lot. It’s a SIP certified sustainable growing site and winemaker Christian Roguenant gets a nice full mouthfeel from the lees and the oak.
The straw-colored wine shows quite a bit of minerality on the nose, to be expected from Edna Valley grapes. The wet rocks and lime aromas are always a pleasure, as the are here. On the palate, there are tropical tones and plenty of citrus along with the beautiful oak effect - the wood is used in a very tasteful way. I vacillate between liking oaky Chardonnays and those with none. This one hits in the middle of the range and could be my favorite - for a while, anyway. — 10 years ago
A star is born!
It means business right from the very dark ruby, and oh, such a promising nose!

2011 vintage. Was expecting an over powering true Napa Cab but was very subtle. Fruit forward with low acidity and tannins. — 11 years ago

At thirty clams retail this is just crazy good and regionally true Rioja. Get all you can. — 9 years ago
Dinner contribution by a friend. Why? Because we need to drink it! A bold dusty expression of terroir. Bold dark fruit aromatics. Soft tannins. Dustiness speaks of terroir not flaws. Elegant and evolves after time in the decanter. Continues to open after 1.5 hours in the decanter. Good thing he has more... I want more... I need more!!!! What a true pleasure in a glass Thank you!!! — 9 years ago
Amazing. Continue to buy. — 10 years ago
WOTN - am amazing 89. Our group tasted thru first and second growths from this vintage and only now are they approaching their true potential. Classic cedar lead pencil cigar box left bank. Depth of fruit and a haunting finish. Not many can make wine like this. A legend. — 11 years ago
This was amazing. Such great black fruit and notes of tar and cedar. This is a true Grand Vin. Briefly decanted to settle and didn't lose much. Still some slight acids and tannins. Ultra smooth. — 11 years ago
A true treat. Old. No effervescence. But has some cut and spine still. Long finish. A St. Francis hotel liquor store sticker on it. Drinking history. — 11 years ago
Buttery, light toast, nutty on the nose. Low to medium acidity, hints of citrus. — 12 years ago
From Magnum at dinner at Chateau Latour...served blind, sublime. This is a true winning vintage of Latour, especially from Magnum. 94pts — 9 years ago
WOTN and just crazy good. Still so young at 27 yrs and really needs another 10 to show it's full potential. A strong decant helped open it up but this still has so much more to give. A true delight right now but patience will be rewarded. — 10 years ago
Cathy Corison is a true artist. One of the most enjoyable bottles of my days - deep berries, dusty, tremendous balance and structure. One for the ages. — 10 years ago
It's fabulous — 11 years ago
My favorite nightly habit. A true jewel for its price tag $19 most places and you will definitely think it's twice the price with its berry taste and rich texture. — 11 years ago
True Caymus classic. Very fruit forward. Many years left in them but not tonight — 11 years ago
True Margaux aromas plus animal scent. Loved it! — 12 years ago
True story: at some point in this bottle's 23 years of aging, the cork sank into the bottle. When I saw that that had happened, I thought I'd lost this treasure. I thought it had to be bad, but nope. This legendary wine withstood the test of time! Even without a cork intact, the wine stayed really, really good. Thank goodness and yummmmm-y! — 13 years ago
