A mouthful up front with a creamy texture. Bottle, label, Wagner name so quality you expect from this family and Caymus they make. — 8 years ago
Really nice, I was surprised, full bodied, a little young, good value for the price. This was the 2012 vintage. — 10 years ago
Wagner family wine recipe: well-extracted and concentrated fruit, robust oak profile, with a touch of RS. Not a sophisticated wine, but does it need to be?! This juice is smooth. — 10 years ago
Excellent Malbec. Had at Linger Restaurant in Denver, CO. Would buy if I could find it in Alabama. Unfortunately cannot. — 6 years ago
Actually, a very good sparkling!! — 8 years ago
Vintage 2009 - #riesling #trocken with incredible good smell: complex with impressions of butter, vanilla, passion fruit and mango. Honey off course. Beautiful #rheinhessen with ocean perch and pasta salad. What a treat if riesling becomes older 😊 — 8 years ago
Winemaker Joseph J. Wagner is a 4th generation winemaker from a family with farming and winemaking roots in the Napa Valley since 1906. Deep Ruby (darkest Pinot almost looks like a Cab) with aromas of ripe berries and spice notes. The palate shows rich black fruits, blackberries, plums and black cherries, vanilla spice, cedar and cacao. Rich soft tannins, firm acidity on lingering finish ending with mineral tones. Nice! — 9 years ago
Apricot, honey, pineapple and hint of petroleum on the nose. Sweet and nearly oily on the palate. High stringent apple acidity. Full bodied. Finishes long with nice raisin flavor. — 9 years ago
My first love when it comes to Finger Lakes Reds. Not a great vintage for Reds, but the shorter growing season for pinot snuck this one in under the radar. Lots of cherries and a hint of maybe olives? It has some lively acidity that makes it dance on your tongue. It's got the red strength without being overpowering. Beautiful with seafood. — 10 years ago
Exceptional year in upstate New York! Wagner only makes their Meritage blend from the best of the best years! A cooler climate red blend with great balance between darker fruit flavors, tannins and oak. — 12 years ago
Not to be harsh, but this was the underperformer of the blind tasting. As said in my previous notes, I reckon I would have gravitated towards this wine if it wasn't done blind. It wasn't a bad wine - I just expected a little bit more.
Nose was very closed. Just smoky and wild. Could have guessed this correctly if producer was an option I felt, since it had the deepest cut of the lot (pretty typical of Daniel's wines). To me the palate was a little less ripe - mix of citrus and stonefruits, sappy, laser precision. Good driven finish, but felt a little less complex than the rest at the moment. I liked this wine for its energy (the most of the lot), but it could have given more. Overall, the wines in this bracket were all showing very well - all wines I would buy for my cellar if I had more space. — 6 years ago
A dang good Malbec. — 7 years ago

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde here. Day 1 tight and maybe even a little muddled in the flavor department. Day 2 deep dark cherry flavor - enjoyable. — 10 years ago
Beautifully crisp, one of the best Rieslings I've had. — 11 years ago
