Fantastic! Cloudy rich golden hue, mildly sweet but the main palette presence is honeysuckle and lime. — 6 years ago

Lychee and rose notes on the nose, the palate was fairly straightforward with a weightiness balancing the acidity. — 7 years ago

I’ve waited years to open this. It was well worth the wait. Rich with fruity black cherry, currants, plum and smokey oak, coffee and chocolates. In addition, there is a lovely hint of citrus (perhaps, a sweet residue of liqueur from the French Oak barrels). Perfect celebration in a time of uncertainty.

Surprisingly, this one was not as big as the Futo. I am a big fan of anything from Prichard Hill and was intrigued seeing this one on the list. Gave it an hour to open up and had a fantastic ribeye to pair it with! In retrospect, I think I would have flipped the sequence. (All bullshit aside on sequencing, this is still an amazing wine and I am just being anal).. The color was still a nice deep violet with strong dark fruits. Great pedigree with Helen Turley on the planting and David Abreu on the vineyard management. What could ever go wrong? — 6 years ago

What a wonderful wine. Dark ink. David said he noticed a little brown edge on it. It has aged magnificently. Much fruit left after nearly 20 years. Good acidity and tannin. Still at or close to its peak. A privilege. — 2 years ago

Winemaking posts at Rudd, Dominus, Chalk Hill & Matanzas Creek, David Ramey & his wife, Carla began their own label in 1996. Rich deep ruby red. Aromas of powerful dark fruit, hints of pepper and sweet spice reminiscent of a Northern Rhône. On the palate raspberry and blackberry, soft and velvety, with smoky oak, big spice on the finish which should continue to develop for several years. Very Nice! — 7 years ago

Very expressive herbaceous nose, the palate is voluptuous with many dessert notes, ends in a somewhat sharp, long manner — 7 years ago
