At an impressive 13+ years from harvest - this cab franc led field blend allows for its varietal lead to sing loudest. 50% CF with 30 Merlot and 20 PV. Once again, showing the aging potential of Monticello fruit. This probably only had 12 months of oak to boot. — 18 days ago

Epiphany wine! I've had younger Gantenbein and not been impressed. I assume this is what excellent and aged 1er and G.C. burgundy is like. Silky and spicy with hints of tobacco without a hint of tannin. — 6 years ago

Crisp palate with grapefruit and green apple forward and a lingering tartness. Prepping for Grenache Day on Friday. — 8 years ago

This is the sort of epiphany about Madeira or Port I've been waiting to have. Served as part of a savory course at Clove Club in London.

Any sweet element of this wine has relaxed to the background and gorgeous acid accompanies complex burnt citrus and smoky, nutty stone fruit. 45 second finish. — 9 years ago

Part of my chateauneuf du pape trial from epiphany wines. 2009 la domaine la barroche signature. Will age well. Needs to breathe a lot but great with dark chocolate and strong vegetarian foods or meats. — 9 years ago

Tasted a 100% Marsanne from the producer not long ago, and it’s good to taste a 100% Roussanne bottling.
Nose is more aromatic than Marsanne with apricot, honeysuckle, beeswax, green mango with grassy undertone. Interestingly there is also a very light petrol note just like the Marssane. Medium body with bright citrus acidity. Alcohol feels a bit elevated even if it’s only 12.5% abv. Finish is clean wth decent length. Quite nice overall. — a year ago

Purple color. Spice, cocoa, toasted oak on nose. Full body, smooth, dry but not overly so. Blackberries, blueberries, chocolate on palate. A couple of points better than the 2014. — 7 years ago

breathing didn’t improve it. Melon, citrus, mineral. Good, not stellar. — 3 years ago

I’ve never had anything like this. Brunello like, musty, earthy, dried red fruit in the best way. garnet color.. First experience with a wine of this age, it’s an epiphany for me. — 4 years ago

So I realize that we’re suppose to have canceled this producer, but in our defense we were offered this wine as consolation when the Bandol we requested was OOS and there were no complaints.

Damn was this wine an epiphany — intensely fragrant with rose petals and geranium on the nose and palate. Ripe nectarines and blood orange with some nebulous savory herbal quality too. A really special wine to pair with a really fabulous birthday girl @Maura Passanisi

*not to gloss over the fact that Fulvio Bressan said some unforgivable, ignorant and hateful racist things and should be held accountable personally and professionally. — 5 years ago

Wow. Black, spicy fruit with an impressive nose. Drinking perfectly and can probably last many more years. Good find — 8 years ago
