2010 is an incredible value. truth is the acid isn't totally integrated yet, but it's still gorgeous: heady aromatics of kirsch, red flowers and baking spice also show on palate, accented by chalky minerality. fine, feathery tannin and shimmering (if overbearing) acidity complete the picture. in 2+ years this will be a masterpiece. — 10 years ago

Impeccably cellared , The 96 opened tight with all her secrets yet to be told. After the 1st hour, pure elegance. Notes of soft cedar, plum, fieldstone and black cherry. Lalande is always a lady first. Then the seduction begins — 11 years ago

Definitely better with time so give it some and you'll be rewarded. I'd been drinking awhile by the time we opened this, but if you told me then it was a barbera, I would have believed you. Now I have to try sober (psych psych psych) — 11 years ago

Wine Review: When visiting this all red wine focused winery on Lake Seneca, owner Kate Thomas told me this was their Wednesday wine. After trying it, I would say this very easy to drink wine could be your everyday wine. This wine opens with a mild light berry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is very well balanced, smooth, approachable, and had juicy cherry flavors. This wine finishes slightly dry and lingers for a while. This wine is a good food wine that would pair well with many foods. This is a great value wine that you would enjoy throughout the fall. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: In the toolbox it is the crescent wrench, in the kitchen it is the salt and pepper, and in a relationship it is the love. Red Legend gets it done. A healthy dose of Cabernet Franc and Merlot and whatever else is in the Shalestone cupboard. — 12 years ago

The bartender told me this is why God exists. And he might be right. Single best vermouth I've ever had. — 11 years ago

When Clyde told me we were going to do a dinner of 2000 vintage Bordeaux, I knew that the Champagne served had to be one of our very best. This wine has incredible depth and complexity from the slow ripening Arbanne and Meslier, along with the incredible acidity and brightness that can’t be shaken from these ancient varieties. Not many wines have both the breadth and length of this incredible, electric Champagne. It was a wower, especially with the salmon appetizer. — 11 years ago

I was told the AZ wines were gross. I read every label of the AZ wines and thought this would be the best bet for me. I really like it. Maybe you will think I have a caveman's pallet...but I'd drink this again. — 12 years ago
