Fruit forward, smooth tannins, velvety mouthfeel, not overly complex. Paired beautifully with prime T-bone steak. High ABV relatively unnoticeable. — 11 years ago
Mrs. Robinson, are you trying to seduce me? You're an old hand at this with your hint of tobacco and mellowed spiciness. Yet you've still got kick. — 12 years ago

Holy crap. Bold, complex, really good 2008. In a magnum, maybe that helped this wine age so well over the years. Knockout wine. — 9 years ago

Love this white Rhone blend. — 11 years ago
I love this producer and would put them in my top three estates in the country. This is their entry level Cabernet and god its good, so good! This for $27 or there about's is of the charts! It's straight Cabernet that is not released until 5 years after vintage. It just tastes so good!!! 8 years old and probably another 5 years left in the tank so to speak. I would almost put this wine/producer as my desert island wine!!! 96/100 — 12 years ago

I am not sure what perfect chardonnay is. But this is close — 11 years ago
Never seen this Barrell 27 before. Also, it was priced at $28.99 but We got it for $15.99 so it was a steal. Not sure of the blend but it was pretty good. I think the other Barrel 27s are a bit better though. — 11 years ago

46% Cabernet franc, 27% merlot, 14%petit Verdot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. This, despite the high content of cab franc, is quite light. Acidity is up front with the first flavors of plums, oranges, and cherries. Slight notes of oak follow and a bright finish. Easy to drink. — 6 years ago
