Drinking really well right now! — 3 months ago
Who am I argue with 100 point rating from Dunnuck and Wine Advocate? And it is a youthful beauty. I typically find the great vintage of ‘09 approachable earlier than ‘05, also a great Bordeaux year. This is perfectly enjoyable right now but I’ll SAVE at least 6 of these because this baby is a distant runner with lots of legs left. Wow! — 5 months ago
Fresh citrus, orange minerality — 8 months ago
Along with 02, 04 and the majestic 2010, 08 is one of my absolute favorite vintages from Raveneau and it’s absolutely rocking tonight showing superb weight, density and waxy yellow fruit that’s layered with stony minerality and piercing lemony acids. 08 Raveneau is all about that Chablisian balance: proper levels of richness and acid, ripeness and minerality. Code yellow ftw 🙌🏻 — 3 years ago
Nice red wine from Finger Lakes. Smooth and velvety, a little fruit, a little wood. Easy to sip and pairs well with cheese. — 4 years ago
Rich tropical fruit intertwines with grapefruit, lemon and candied lime peel. — 4 years ago
everything i like about new zealand sauv blanc! grassy, lemony, light, easy drinking — 17 days ago
Lovely ripe nose - dark fruit, spice. Not dense on the mouth, ample fruit and soft tannin. Depth, a little heat, elegant and with years ahead. Felt like a baby even on day 2 and 3. Decant needed on day 1. — 2 months ago
Too strong and astringent. It gets better with air but not enough. — 5 months ago
Nice Pinot from SLO county, plenty of red fruit, nice acidity, nice finish. Feels like I am standing in a strawberry field. — 7 months ago
Pale salmon color. Notes of strawberry, grapefruit, toast and brioche. Elegant and refreshingly taut. Really tasty! I also really like Laurent Perrier Cuvée Rosé, but this is my favorite rose champagne for the price point.

100% Cabernet Franc Rose’. Beautiful light salmon color. Pronounced mineral on the nose and pallet with hints of watermelon and a bit of dark cherry, strawberry and citrus. A little bit of pepper spice. Medium tangy acidity and a crunchy texture. A small amount of heft but still light bodied. Very “Loire-like.” Revisited in June 2020. Nice! — 3 years ago
Crisp and not overly dry or fruity. Very tasty and reasonable — 4 years ago
Dark fruit in the nose with dark plums, blackberry and crème de cassis in the palate. Paired well with both Gouda and a spicy ham. — a month ago
Refreshing and good mouthfeel, it was lacking in depth, length and on the simple side. — 2 months ago
Basic good Sauvignon blanc. Bargain at Costco for $6.99 — 4 months ago
Not a Chardonnay fan but this actually slaps — 7 months ago
Decant and pour(little sediment). A beautiful deep ruby red. On the nose: dark red fruit, floral, tobacco leaf, potting soil, vanilla toast. Taste: chalky, restrained old school style(13.5 alc) wine with blackberry, cedar, currants, pepper, earth, and a long dry finish with some dusty tannins. YUM! — 10 months ago

Great nose of blueberries, blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, cedar, earth, vanilla, Mediterranean spices, espresso, cola, light herbs, chocolates, tobacco and black pepper.

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley.
Showing nice balance and a great mouthfeel. Round and rich. Elegant and smooth.
This 22 year old still has a lot of power in it, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better after 2 hours of airtime.
So soft and powerful, with a great nose. This is a gorgeous wine right now.
A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 3% Malbec. Aged in all new French oak barrels for 24 months.
13.9% alcohol by volume.
96 points.

Another solid vintage of this FLX Dry Riesling. Light gold color. Aromas of orchard fruit, honeysuckle, citrus and wet stones. Flavors of green apples and pears, lemon/lime, white peach and a consistent note of wet slate. Long and crisp mineral laden finish with mouth watering acidity. Light bodied, refreshing and bone dry. Very well balanced and totally food friendly. — 3 days ago
