Amazing find, very inexpensive left bank Bordeaux from Chateau Massereau. Medium body with great tannins and acidity. Enjoyed slightly chilled, paired with duck prosciutto. — 7 years ago

A very earthy red! Deep red, lots of tobacco, dried herbs, wet moss. A good recommendation that I would revisit. — 5 years ago

This is a rather crazy bottle, opened up today as more of an experiment than anything else. This wine is YOUTH-FUL. The nose is oak, blackberry cassis and graphite. The entry is youthful, sweet, chalky blackberry and fig. The middle of this wine is DENSE. Dark core, black fruits, a little bit of heat. A little smoky, meaty. The finish has a youthful tannin. With 60 acres of vineyard on Howell Mountain and 300 acres of vineyards in Yountville, you can taste the characteristics of both here in this bottling, but needs years to develop its individual personality. — 7 years ago

Susan Krausz was a wonderful host again this year. She has reason to be proud of her wines, because they are spectacular! I am not a Sauvignon Blanc fan, but in the hands of winemaker Sam Kaplan, it is not a citrus bomb. Instead, it is a complex combination and balance of mineral, banana, tropical fruit without the bite. One of the few Sauvignon Blancs that I feel can be great now and 6 years from now. — 8 years ago

Subtle fruit and chocolate on the nose. Great flavors of cherry, plum, mocha, and spice. Deep and plush with excellent structure and balance. Great lingering finish of fruit and a little black pepper. Very nice wine! — 9 years ago
