This wine has easy going (perfect for a Friday night) and everything you expect and want from a GSM. Brambly fruit, brown spices, leather on the nose, cherry on the finish. Warm, cozy, soft acidic touches, eaz-y sipping. Delicious. #SonomaStrong — 8 years ago

The brown eyed SIL rocked in with this fantastic bottle of taste sensation ... is there such a thing as a bad crianza/Rioja.. well it ain't this.. it's rare I think wine enhances food but with a barbecued steak it is heaven.. so many flavours that my palette can comprehend... this is a NADAL — 8 years ago

Pours jam in color. Aromas of earth, raspberry and brown spices. Raspberry carries over into the Flavors along with other dark berries with some chocolate. Some heat in the back of the mouth. Medium body and finish. — 10 years ago

Full bodied, color showing some brown at the edges. Great aroma of dark sweet fruits and some oak. Earthy on the palate, with plum and spices. Will go well with medium to heavily spiced meats, as well as sharp cheese. — 12 years ago

Curiosity got the best of me. Parker rated this 97 points and a local wine shop managed to get 1-2 cases and at $34/bottle, it was a gamble I was willing to take.

Color me surprised and impressed. 45mins-1hr of air time and 👌. Very purple in color, but the wine wasn't as heavy as it looked. Big aromatics...maple syrup, caramelized brown sugar, blueberry jam, faint smell of smoked meat. Very "pure" front and mid palate...nothing was overbearing or dominant one way or the other. Silky texture, rush of blue and black fruits, earthiness, toasted oak and milk chocolate. Very Napa cab-esque. Could see how some would think it was too extracted, but it doesn't touch a Caymus 40 in that category. At $34/bottle, this is a show stopper. Not worthy of 97pts, but probably the best sub $40 bottle of cabernet I've come across from Cali. — 8 years ago

A reddish brown color. Shoe polish and earth dominate the nose. In the mouth tart fruits along with good acid produce a very nice Grand Dame! — 10 years ago

One of the truest great, individual and distinctive American whites. Always a treat when Saxon Brown does it. France has nothing on this Semillon! — 9 years ago

9.1

Candied, gelatinous orange slices, caramel apple, heavy oak masking vanilla until lemon oil rises up like smoke to obfuscate all but a maple-y burnt sugar aroma. Creamy bourbon into an almost brandy Alexander that explodes with pumpkin purée and accompanying pie spices. Gets very smoky, and peppery in a molé manner. Overly rich with brown sugar, burnt toast, coriander, orange bitters, marshmallow, Anaheim pepper, tree bark, allspice, rosemary, and a slew of other spices. A lot to finish with. Whew!! The pumpkin is there, though!!! #pumpkinbeer #jacked #crookedline — 9 years ago
