I love Revel Wine's wines. And Brooks is a classic... Always consistent, decently priced, and pairs well with most anything. Great way to start or end the evening. — 11 years ago

Quite a stunner - still very purple and fruit focused (all red) hint of vanilla & spice but just a straight forward ballsy Aussie Cab not showing its age — 11 years ago

The inky purple '05 Pax Syrah 'Lauterbach Hill' has nice aromas of smoky bacon fat, ripe blackberry and tarry licorice. The elegant mouth delivers jammy dark fruit flavors with peppery notes. A mineral lift at the end propels a lengthy spicy finish. — 12 years ago

Savory, brooding cab franc with a fruity integrity, graphite, tomato leaf, herbaceous, idodine-blood-copper-like nose that makes me think of red clay, dusty tannins, cacao, roasted coffee bean, vinous. Soft palate, soft acidity with a slight green edge that acts as a bitterness to the equation which brings some lift. It's not muddled with oak , it's cab franc, undeniably new world, but I want to go back to it for another sniff and sip. Really nice to taste this first release from Gail Wines. — 11 years ago

The 2010 Vine Hill Chardonnay is golden yellow in color it has a restrained aroma of green pears some citrus small hint of vanilla but overall the aromatics are fairly tight still even with the wine's age. This is probably a tribute to the wines good storage. The acid is a bit softer and more integrated into the wine with the 2010. It is more ready than the 2009 or 2008 on the palate. The finish is of ripe pears ripe lemons, lemon pie and a hint of vanilla and wood shows a bit in the end. Great length. — 11 years ago
