Nice and dry for a Riesling. Great value in the 1L. Went well with Asian food to cut the spice but not too sweet at all. — 6 years ago

Deep, spicy, and rustic in a good way! Real Pauillac that has the grip needed to support a winter meal! Just a slight dryness on the end that might not please a new world wine drinker.. — 9 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. — 10 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! — 12 years ago

Tasted at the new Geyserville tasting room. What a beautiful setting. The new silver oaks are really terrific wines. I particularly liked this 2014 Alexander valley. It was so true to its Cabernet roots and should glide effortlessly in the cellar for many many years — 7 years ago

Deep red with ruby highlights, but Guillaume d'Angerville noted that this premier cru is typically softly extracted and light in color. Compelling, vibrant aromas of blueberry pastille, violet, licorice and spicecake. Incredibly primary and sweet, with its density leavened by harmonious acidity. Pliant dark berry flavors are complicated by hints of flowers and spices. This very pure wine has to be one of the most youthful 1999s I tasted this winter. Finishes with utterly suave tannins and outstanding length. This infant is just beginning to open and should enjoy a long plateau of maturity. D'Angerville described 1999 as "a magical vintage," noting that the yield here was at least 40 hectoliters per hectare. His father Jacques actually held back 4,000 bottles of wine in '99 but Guillaume has released most of these bottles by now to loyal clients of the domain.

What a triumph! A true masculine champagne. No fruit and I mean no fruit. Maybe a hint of and I mean a slight detection of apricot orange fruit. And that's it. It stimulates your salivary glands and voila, your meal and taste buds begin to tackle and dissect each flavor. — 9 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. — 10 years ago

V09. Very nice port. Candied black cherry nose. Rich, thick blackberry fruit. Hint of dryness, within the cloying sweet finish. Very good. — 7 years ago

Toasty and alcohol dominant upfront, but a little decant or time in the glass and this peppery, oaky, berry petite Syrah is ended up nicely. Actually had enough glycerol flavor and structure to have some layering of flavors after 30 minutes, and would likely be even better in a couple more years. Dark fruit moves to the forefront with balanced spice and wood with some time. Not a huge wine, but really good value. — 7 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

There is nothing to compare the history nor the unbelievable taste of the the Dom!!! By far one of my all time favorite bottles of true Champagne. — 12 years ago
