Film house wine? Very tiny bit sparkly, fruity, sweet, didn't have it with food. 2023 — 8 months ago

Nice warm CabS aromatics - black fruit, a touch of herbs, a savoury, darker undergrowth edge.
On the palate this is velvety smooth. Amazing quality of tannins - sandy, dusty fine, juicy & fresh. With layers of dark, creamy, slightly plush fruit on top. Impeccably balanced and with nice depth. A minty hint of+ a touch of vanilla & spice.
Unmistakably Tuscan yet nicely Cabernet in parallel. What a lovely wine! — 2 years ago

This wine was made the year we got married. We bought it on our second wedding anniversary and opened it on our fifth. It aged very well. It has a beautiful balance of sweetness and acidity with a hint of toasted oak and a nice buttery mouth feel. — 7 years ago

I am imagining my dear Mother's disapproval of the name as she was always a proper lady.

This is a very smooth, yet crisp citrus flavored beer.

2024/8/13-14. This is in a rich style but without much oak influence; ripe lemon, citrus blossom, a bit of butter and stone. It reminds me of Merlin’s wines (though that impression might be heightened because I’m drinking through a tranche of the latter in parallel) — 2 years ago

Mocha nose. Flowers. Parallel palate of tapenade saline broad mid-palate, heat. More of everything. — 3 years ago

Without parallel. This is what Chardonnay is supposed to taste like. — 3 years ago

The Riserva was amazing and parallel to the normale but a couple years more youthful in the glass. — 5 years ago

10 in 19. Still wonderfully integrated. Restrained and elegant, was shocked that it was 14.9 abv. Tobacco. Red savory fruit. Medium-full. — 7 years ago

9.6

Penultimate bottle from a case of 12, bottle variation is crazy. Where the last was quite mature, this seemed just bottled, almost parallel to the ‘07 open beside it. Dry and laden with dark chocolate, black currant and baking spice. Had a Bordeaux vibe the ‘07 didn’t. Beautiful. — 7 years ago

9.4

Sh-t. I mean. This starts inconspicuous but becomes more energetic with each day open. Coiled acid and melting taffy. Aching red fruit; dripping, swirling mineral dust. Subtly sweet, then unexpectedly dry, with a powdery texture. Worthy parallel to eg bandol rose, but even more acid. — 2 years ago

9.2

Bright, pale straw. Initially shy, but inviting nose of underripe quince. Echoed on the medium palate with an intense mineral streak and hints of burnt citrus rind on opening. As the wine develops in the glass, the mineral note subside and rustic fruits come to the fore. Medium plus acidity supports it all the way through to the moderate finish. This is a wine that can support the entire meal: mineral notes parallel light starters, fleshy pomes buttress the main course, and more opulent stone fruits finish with soft cheese or pastry. Rustic fare pairs particularly well. Drink now through 2028. — 3 years ago

Without question the best cabernet franc I’ve ever had from California, this is unfortunately the last bottle I have. I don’t know what happened in 2007, but Gerhard made a spectacular cab franc that has no parallel before or since (of course, the winery no longer exists - at least not in any recognizable form - but you get my meaning). Still drinking incredibly well, this was a singular achievement from what always was a WAY underrated winery. — 5 years ago

"Mahi is long enough for real substance without that awful syrupy quality so common in other whites. There's a note in there that some describe is funk, but we'd call grassy." According to Karen MacNeil "New Zealand Sauvignon blancs have no parallel in the world." — 6 years ago

8.9

A very good Okanagan rosé with aromas of strawberry and rose petals that transition into a medium bodied, delicious tasting wine with pronounced minerality and flavours of crushed gravel, strawberries, rhubarb and white cranberry. — 7 years ago

Not an Alsatian gewurz but really nice. Doesn't have the oily mouth feel or the long finish. It's a new world wine. Great flavour, peachy, fruity with lemon finish. — 7 years ago
