This rye has a very nice smokiness but that could be because of aging in Scotch barrels. — 10 years ago
Good complex nose of apricot, peach, nutt and a touch of butter. Beautiful complexity, texture and lees influence. Delish ! — 11 years ago

First taste of an English sparkling wine. Very impressed, lots in common with good quality champagne made from the same grapes. — 9 years ago
The complexity of this iconic winery’s entry-level Chardonnay belies its price, with intense Meyer lemon, pear and melon character and hints of toasty lees and fennel. Juicy, seamless and pure, it also has the balance to age. (JR)

Wow; how maturing #margaretriver #chardonnay does vary; see recent #cullen #2009 which was brassy, this gleaming green and plenty of it; #cullen restrained, this #capementelle is butch; nose power of smoke or burnt things, bottle age nose not simple, evidence of lees/ mlf from the smoke; palate chunky, lime juice, burnt toast you taste in 30 yo Eden Valley riesling; juicy smoke; rich, not terribly drying, acid taut, 13%, AUD 35, full bodied, no apparent reason for it to fade for a while; contained power. #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours — 10 years ago
Some #delectable #PinotNoir from the #RussianRiver valley. Strawberry, red plum and red currant, cinnamon on the nose and palate. Definitely on the juicier side of pinot noir. — 11 years ago
One of the richest of the Margaret River ultra-premium Chardonnays. Incredible, and would be 4-6x the price if this came from a Chassagne Montrachet producer. $95 USD. — 11 years ago

This one's in a class of it's own. Lovers of Cab Sauv praise it. Even folks like me who aren't huge fans of Cab Sauv find it pleasing. — 8 years ago
