This is good stuff. American 'Scotch' and it measures up with some of the best. Surprisingly complex sipping whiskey. Don't waste using as a mixer !! — 10 years ago

Slightly lighter (still weights a ton) version of Caldwell's gold label. Less fruit, more leather and balance. Another winner. — 10 years ago

From the DOC Noto Nero d'Avola (Sicily) to my parent's table in order to mitigate the legumes gloom that springs out of a winter beans soup bowl - "pasta e fagioli"- so eloquent in his humble celestiality.
Pierpaolo Messina's the producer, Marabino's name of the winery. What a pomegranates plot like! Same succulence of a "blood orange" squeezed by this red wine originated from vineyards rooted on such a white soil "terra ianca"! A fertile land cultivated with art wisdom and awareness, all qualities though, applied with energetic measures by Pierpaolo who's inspired at - both practical and theoretical - some sound principles in the biodynamic agriculture arousal. — 10 years ago

I have had the 2010 a number times & it's very good, that being said this '07 is superior. A great wine by all measures, deep, rich, berry, tannins, a hint of cinnamon & just the right balance of dry & fruit. — 12 years ago

Take your time and enjoy its invitations. An aroma to enjoy and savor. A flavor that measures well to light earth, subtle fruit, and a smooth ending. — 9 years ago

Make your taste buds lift some weights before trying to taste this big bad boy. Heavy, complex. Effervescence on the tongue gives way to butterscotch, fig, black cherry. — 10 years ago

I spotted a Willamette Valley unicorn in its natural habitat! I see why the people gobble up this allocated gem: brimming with Spring scents from a forest floor, this wine conveys "a thing-ness" of swirling weights, aromatics, and tastes that together tell why we chase after the naiad known as Pinot Noir. — 10 years ago

I found this to be the best of the current release. We'll see how the coastlands measures up when it comes out in fall. — 13 years ago

Made from Tempranillo grapes and aged in French oak, this Rioja is the first I've tasted that measures up to the IGTs. Bold fruit, oak, and a long tannic finish make this one of the better Riojas I've ever had. — 10 years ago

Based on other notes, I fear we didn't give this nearly enough time open up. I got intense but tight flavors of tart cranberry, roses, and lemon and orange juice. In fact it was hard to tell from the nose that this was a red wine! By all objective measures a great wine, decant at least a couple of hours before if you drink this soon. — 11 years ago

Very nice, bit of leather and black cherries there. Modestly complex, a little leather on the finish. And I swear this bottle weights about 5 lbs empty. It's awesome. — 11 years ago

Though "only" a rosso this montalcino red measures up to some of the area's brunellos as well. — 13 years ago
