Was an aspirational bottle for me and finally saw one in a shop in Charleston. Pinnacle of Etna wine making. Contender for WOTN but shockingly beat out by the Alsace 🐐. @Kyle Harvey getting live tasting notes via text from the wine maker was quite a flex. #summitIV — 3 years ago
Who knew they made great wine in the Lehigh Valley? This is the top grape in the region according to the producer. Shockingly good. Ripe berries, delicious soil, and well balanced. Will be buying again. Thanks to Peggy @ Earth for hooking it up. A very nice first Pennsylvanian wine for me. — 4 years ago
Buttery aromas and flavors up front, lemon, sea salt, just amazing cut, acidity and depth, super long, lingering finish, yet still very youthful overall, this is why we all buy Raveneau Chablis (Les Clos being the pinnacle), well, for me, “used to buy” (LOL)!! Amazing, a true WOW wine!! — 7 months ago
Vintage 2012 | Xarel-lo, Macabeu. 91 months sur lie. Pinnacle of purity. Finesse. I drink this Cava to memorize my youngest uncle Frans who passed away last week in Spain. My parents went on holiday to Spain in the seventies; where I got caught with passion for wine. Rest In Peace. — 3 years ago

If you're looking for the pinnacle of Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon in an old world style look no further. Bright acidity with elegant tannins are guaranteed to impress. Drinking great now. With potential to age gracefully — 3 years ago
Dinner with a friend, brief notes this evening.
Prior notes still apply:
Nose has warmed Granny Smith apple with butter.
Palate had serious zingy acidity to start, but since subsided, now a combo of yellow/green apple, water chestnut and a minerally honey.
Last bottle, amazing, still has many years ahead!
48 Hour Update:
Nose has fried green apples, brown butter, toasted honey, caramel candy, dried apricots, cold green herbs and white flowers.
Palate has tart yellow apple, caramel sauce, saturated oak board, honey, water chestnuts, tart peach jam, Jasmine flowers, with medium acidity and intense finish, lightly drying, very powerful.
We should have opened all the prior bottles two days in advance, this is just approaching the pinnacle of its enjoyment, wow. Enjoy now or the next 2-4 years, from proper storage. Updating from 92 to 94 points. — 4 years ago

A nicely aged wine at its pinnacle. Smooth, integrated tannins with dark fruit and leather. Good acidity but still pleasing without food. Some whisps of smoke on the backend. — 7 months ago
