Spectacular. So much fruit. This came from a passive cellar, the fill was top label, yes I said it top label, and when I touched the cork it fell in! So expectations were low. Wow were we wrong. — 5 years ago

This wine is a full of contradictions. On one hand it shows tons of sweet citrus (grapefruit, tangerine, lemon pith) and hints of vanilla. On the other it shows more savory spice notes - basil - yes, BASIL - and hints of pepper. This so layered and complex. Creamy, polished and drinking so well (just as @David L said it would be). The extra barrel age and higher amount of Semillon shows. This was elegant and fun - totally delicious and great on a hot afternoon. — 7 years ago

This may sound silly, but I bought this bottle after watching a Martha Stewart cooking show on preparing Coq Au Vin. Yeah, I admit it, Im A Martha Stewart fan . She said" I always use my finest cognac."

Yes I paid a small fortune to cook chicken with cognac, but I followed the recipe.

I'm not a big cognac guy, but ...........................

Very smooth, my guests love this stuff, and the dinner was a hit too.

Blackberry, raspberry, fig, spice, beautiful texture. Yes, it's high alcohol, and yes, flavor is cranked up to 11, but there is something to be said for satisfying hedonistic cravings. FWIW, the '09 is way better than the '10. — 9 years ago

Another Great production by Sineann Vineyards. This is the 2013 Old Vine Zinfandel. Opening the bottle is so easy. Better than a screw top, its twist, discard, and pop the glass stopper. I love it! The color is dark dark purple. The legs are miles long and thick. The bouquet is coffee beans and dirt. The initial palate is raspberry vanilla. The finish is long with notes of black pepper and sour apple. WOW. This may be the first Zinfandel that I can say is out of this world. With that being said, it is slightly different than the typical California Zinfandel but is definitely a zin!!!!!!!!!!!!! Okay... Two glasses. After a 1 hour decant, it is a perfect 10!!!!!!!!!
Cant get any better.
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!
Im going back and getting a case.
Yes it is 15.3%, but I am not drunk off One and 1/2 glasses!!!!!! This is perfection. — 9 years ago

Love this wine - because of the 2012 I bought the BTK and Martinez and this version for 14 - second time with this wine and all I can say is I am a believer - it is up there with all really good Napa cabs of late for me - decanted 2 hours

Why do I like this wine so much? Three words - big bold beautiful- the color is an amazing dark color deep purplish shamrock color - smells like grooving on Sunday afternoon with blackberry and cassis fruit - this wine hits the palate with bold serious authoritative expert pinpoint force that must be reckoned with and the taste - oh yes the taste - well - it is reason I said it is up there with the best of Napa cabs of late for me - the taste is rich concentrated with wonderful mouth filling tannins and last forever

This wine should last at least 10 years

Consumed May 2018. It is called Prisoner. When the bartender first asked me if I had tried prisoner, I said yes. But when he showed me the bottle I said no I have not tried that. He gave me a taste and I was hooked. Was great sipping by itself and also went well the food. — 7 years ago

Vintage schmintage. This is a fun one. Mark said leafy. That is a solid assessment.
Actually, can anyone tell me what was the first schm-anything?
Happy, Schmappy? Go, Schmo? Yes, Schmess? Must have been a winner. — 7 years ago

Australian winemakers seem to be competing for the Quirkiest name. First we had Sailor Seeks Horse and now Yes, Said the Seal. Both specialising in Pinot Noir. This wine had notes of Cherry red berries Forest floor and unobtrusive spicy oak. The savoury palate reflects the aromas. This was the Winner of the Australian Pinot Challenge recently. Chief Judges were seasoned Show Judge and Burgundy nut Phillip Rich and Jim Chatto chief winemaker at McWilliams. Young Pinot doesn't get much better than this. Tasted again 49 weeks later on 9th September 2018 with consistent notes. Yet made another note on Delectable. — 8 years ago

Brought this delicious little nugget back with us from our visit to Alsace, FR. Beautiful, old world dry white with earthy, white truffle delights. My recommendation? Hold this one if you're able restrain yourself for about 10 more years. Yes, I said 10 years. The wines from this region prove themselves to deliver something even more special with time. — 9 years ago
