This is totally freaky. It takes like flame broiled green onions. — 9 years ago
Always a stunner. Quince and pineapple backed by sweet lemony citrus merge with spicy arugula and turnip purée. Botrytis is present, ginger-spicy but not over the top. Very dialed in on the ripeness, enough to give it a regal quality, but not overwhelmingly corpulent. Long finish driven by lingering pleasant bitterness and tangy acid. Crazy value in these wines. Similar quality producer and vineyard in burgundy would cost you 2-3x. — 10 years ago

Tefethen '85. Napa Chard the way it's meant to be. Thank you to my New Year's Eve guests for some sexy awesomeness. Pairs well with dill-scented farro veggie stew. — 13 years ago
Amazing. Had this during our rich lamb course at The French Laundry and was just taken aback by how amazingly it was like Bordeaux wine. It complements very well with rich, meaty courses. Cannot speak well enough. — 9 years ago
Like the federspiel riesling-- racy and nuanced. Vibrant but tight. Should develop well in bottle. — 10 years ago

Oh my, what a Cabernet. Seductive, charming and drinkable, but I would bet my bottom dollar that with good cellaring this would be a stunner. — 11 years ago
