This bone-dry Riesling shows loads of green apple fruit, crushed rock, and some pleasantly, sponti-tinged, petrolly scents on the nose. Fresh, broad, and very minerally in the mouth, increasing as the finish goes on. Not for those who like fruity Rieslings, but very well done. — 7 years ago

Excellent expression of the grape. Totally different from a South American Malbec. The fruit was subdued and the usually secondary notes of tobacco and spice came to the fore. Such complexity that unfolded across the palate, ending with a slightly dusty tannin finish. Great stuff. — 8 years ago

Renegade Wine dinner series at Rebelle NYC presented by sommelier Patrick Cappiello. Focus was on Cab Franc: 15 wines paired with 5 courses. Posting a few favorites.

Was excited to see this on the list. A very French style of Cab Franc - but a nice balance of savory and fruit. A touch sour but very smooth, round and refreshing. Was excellent with food (beet tartare).

The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

Sophisticated summer in a bottle... Lovely bouquet of flowers, peaches, vanilla, carmel and almonds- reminded me of peach cobbler. I was grateful for the long clean finish as I did not want it to end. Lovely! — 12 years ago

THE. BEST. DOMESTIC. CHARD!!!!!! Yes, yes, yes. I'm blown away. This is the best domestic chard I've ever drank. This particular vintage is killer. I could poor this in a lineup of top notch Meursault and none would be the wiser, that's how good this is. Intense smoke/funk brought on by minerality that most domestic producers could only dream of. A legendary wine in my book. @June's All Day, Austin TX — 8 years ago

Awesome on your palate and wallet. Big lush fruit but well balanced and avoids the one dimensional kick that I often associate with this grape. Meadowood in Napa. — 8 years ago

2011 vintage. From magnum. Medium lemon hue. On the nose, very pleasant aromas - citrus fruits, light oak aromas, mineral crushed rock. Medium concentration. On the palate, great acidity and textural - ripe and round but with some finesse and elegance typical of Roulot. This is a keeper. Still has plenty of years ahead of it. Drink now until 2027. Very good indeed. — 8 years ago

We don’t drink a lot of Grüner Veltliners, but we thoroughly enjoyed this one. Light and well balanced. Surprisingly subtle acidity for a German style wine, at least in comparison with Rieslings. Subtle aromas of green melon and papaya. Not sure how this compares with other Grüner Veltliners at $24, but compared with other white wines in general, I would probably buy it again at that price. — 8 years ago
