My first Palmer and it is a delight. Opulence, elegance and balance in a bottle. — 2 days ago

This wine is drinking really well. Nice and juicy but still has nice tannin structure on the finish! — 2 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. No formal notes. The 2012 is a lovely, rich, autolytic and toasty example of Champagne with good character and typicity. True to house style. Drink now through 2037. — 3 months ago

So deep and focused. Dense and feminine. in the mouth has good structure, never sharp or edgy.
Very accessible and lean.
Just missing that little bit of extra length in the aftertaste to reach a full 96.
But overall great, precise and beautiful wine.

Popped and poured into red Solo cups. The 2012 “Grands Terroirs” pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, this is intensely autolytic with notes of fresh, toasted brioche, baked apple, raspberry, lemon curd and limestone minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. From magnum. Drink now through 2037. Disgorged June 2021. — a month ago

Nice experience but not worth the money. Strong initial funk that eventually gave way to some fruit. Silky mouth feel but so many better wines for less money. — 2 months ago

Back at our new favorite seafood restaurant and so very difficult to find the right red wine pairing (we were in the mood for some red….don’t judge us!)
Our new Sommelier BFF (Michael) steered us to this region and he was spot on! Light, fresh, red fruits…delicious 😋 — 6 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2015 Judge Family Vineyard Syrah pours a deep, inky, ruby/purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with pungent notes of bacon fat, dark brambles, toasted blueberry crisp, lavender, dried green herbs and fine baking spice. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. This is aging slowly and gracefully. This remains my favorite Syrah made in the United States. Drink now through 2045. — 2 months ago
