Tastes like Sprite, with a nice punchy acidity — 6 years ago

Supple, jammy, silky mouthfeel, grapefruit, reminds me of the smokey charcoal of a Vacqueyras and the fruit of a luscious Pinot.

A recommended Rhône from the local shop owner on 23rd street.

A bouquet that brings the memory of clementines.

This is one of the best cabs I have ever had at any price point. It’s best described as a show stopper! Was very fortunate to have this wine with a good friend that shared it with me. Would recommend for a special occasion to anyone without reservation over most anything else... — 7 years ago

9.0

Really dark fruit flavors with provencal herbs joining the party. I always love these wines for their old world funk and roasted fruit characteristics. — 9 years ago

Sturdy champagne for food. Less acidic and more structured than I remember (had this about two years ago as well.) Really good stuff. — 9 years ago

Green apple, pear, hay, sweet, sparkling, grape. — 6 years ago

9.2

The purest a Vidal can get. Primary aromas of apricot, but the age allowed for some nice caramel complexities to show up. Rich on the palate with strong honey tones and a touch of citrus hiding in the back. Really lingers too, and paired well with a salted caramel cheesecake. — 7 years ago

Took a lot of time to open up and show it’s volume and warmth. One of the first tight 2006s I’ve had in a while. — 8 years ago

Crazy oxidative and sherry like on aromas. Palate was rich with great acid. Still young and vital. A treat — 10 years ago

Lyn Farmer

9.0

Pale gold color and a pronounced bouquet of pear, ripe pineapple, apricot and lemon. Unctuous texture, full bodied and creamy on the Palate. A bit light in acidity so it verges on count but the long finish is very clean — 7 years ago

Marc Miller

9.2

Strong acid backbone. A little young still @2009 in late 2017 but totally drinkable after decanting. — 9 years ago

VIDAL GRAPE
Apricot, citris, apple, long after-taste — 9 years ago

Tom Kobylarz

9.3

A stunner of a sweet wine, high acids offset 110g RS in this honeyed, orange marmalade and tropical fruited beauty. A touch of an oxidized note adds further complexity. Like a hypothetical Tokaji Aszu meets a Trockenberenauslese Riesling. — 10 years ago
