Oh baby is this in the zone. Nose is incredible. Wafting aromas of black olive, black berry fruit with a crystalline purity to it. So dense. So aromatic. Just killing it. Wow. Stunning clarity. Had good luck with Gilles recently. Amazing palate. Just unreal fruit and it’s everywhere! Just saturates with granite infused juicy, lip smacking insanity. So dazzlingly pure. The granite expression is crazy. What a finish. So complex and has that extra that makes it a great vintage. Unreal depth and concentration. Holy shit. This is total genius. — 5 years ago

Dave Phinney is a genius! Orin Swift Cellars Palermo 2015 cabernet sauvignon is FANTASTIC! Blackberry spice and everything nice. A tingle on the tongue and a bouquet of fun. What more could you ask for. Theres an oaky finish and a chocolate after taste that leaves your palate hungry for more!!!!!! Almost as good as his Papillon, which gets a perfect 10! It is a 70 dollar blend!! My personal favorite wine right now. Look up Orin Swift Cellars!!!!! Unfortunately they do not deliver to georgia but I have a good liquor store in town that gets it for me. — 8 years ago

Maybe my favorite vintage of this wine. Sexy nose. Herbal, vegetable in the way Silvaner can only do it (sweet sugarsnap peas and the such) with intense minerality. So refined. I mean so refined. Ask floral. Just a symphony of Silvaner. Palate is pure magic. Juicy and OMG this is so refined and elegant. And man is this deep. This is a wine that has to be tasted to be believed to see what a genius Paul is and how great Silvaner can be. — 9 years ago

Have a few more of these squirreled away, but opened for an old friend who used to buy a ton of Hewitson wines from me — this was nearly flawless, just a stunning presentation, best it’s shown — ever. — 9 months ago

I cannot put into words how delicious this dessert wine is. It’s lush and sweet, but beautifully balanced with an acidity and a clean finish that means it’s not overly sweet and infinitely drinkable. It’s the perfect choice for both the sweet toothed, and those who think they don’t like sweet wines. — 4 years ago

A genius Klingelberger. What a nose. So floral. Flower shop levels. Little shop of insane dry Riesling. Gorgeous Mosel like fruit. Smells ripe and sweet but also bone dry. Green apples. Pear. Apricot. So vivid and detailed. Just wonderful. Lime blossom, sweet lime. Endless aromas. Fresh field level 10. But also rock quarry. Staggering young Klingelberger aromas. Palate is epic like a Norwegian Viking documentary epic. Dense, structured, deep man is this deep with just stunning purity and freshness. So vivid and so detailed. This is god level balance. So long. Never ends. The purity of this wine is just incredible. Amazing finesse and elegance and screamingly mineral and very very complex on the finish. This is a staggering young Klingelberger. 9.7. Yup. Just genius. Amazing concentration and depth. Really I can’t get over how good this is. — 6 years ago

Big and juicy fruit with a good amount of tannin in the background. In a good place but still has some time left. John is a genius. — 10 years ago

We got a future legend here. Nose js exotic citrus, herbs galore, slate, some pink grapefruit and apricot. Very expressive and super clear. There is also an umami aroma that is so enticing. Stunning. 9.7 nose. Palate is a dream. Citrus and sweet lime along with gorgeous clarity and freshness. This is ungodly fresh. Awesome grip, acidity and length yet ephemeral and light on its feet. So juicy and tangy with lovely salt notes on the finish. This is magic and has elite finesse why it is a 9.7 wine. Can’t wait to see what air does. Now with air the nose gets confectionary. Unreal variety of citrus now. Some sea air. Now the palate has a lemon lime citrus sweet tart aspect and is gaining some crunch. Wow what a finish. This is genius. — 2 years ago

2010 vintage, bought while living in Napa. This wine impressed me in 2012 and still does after 8 years in the bottle. Philippe Melka is a genius. Wish I had more! — 5 years ago

Excellent blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Tempranillo instead of Syrah. Works very well. I saw this described as “dusty fruits” which I take to mean earthy, and just slightly subdued. Relatively smooth and opens up nicely with air time. Will keep the other bottles for a while to see how the evolve. Another good effort from ONX wines out of Pasa Robles. Cheers — 6 years ago
