We ALWAYS love this stuff. Not exuberant like many Napa cabs. Fruit-forward , but not so sweet. Shows depth and restraint on the palette. Hats off to Dean Sylvester. — 8 years ago

Never heard of it @Ron R sounds great!!

@TheSkip and @Hugh O'Riordan, seek these out. The 10 vintage was also stellar, but the glass closure puts a capstone on it. We love this cos it's closer to a more traditional style, as opposed to the US contemporary style. At $50 or so, that is another reason to get after it!

This has stood still. Love this wine from the prior winemaker; Dean Sylvester.
From magnum.
Notes of cocoa and coffee. Tannins are integrated. Good acid profile. This has another 5 years of runway, at least. Happy Christmas, lifeforms 👽 — 5 years ago

I shoot hot bolts into you, Tania, I make your ovaries incandescent. Your Sylvester is a little jealous now? He feels something, does he? He feels the remnants of my big prick. I have set the shores a little wider, I have ironed out the wrinkles. — 9 years ago

Delicious, dry, bodied, viscous, sweaty. I'm digging the texture of these dry Hungarian whites. Extremely drinkable. For wine people in Budapest, don't miss ANDANTE WEINBAR, Buda-side, right on the Danube. Ask for somm Sylvester 🍍🥂 — 7 years ago

Paying homage to the then wine maker at Whitehall Lane; Dean Sylvester. An unsung genius, whom I will never forget. I hope I am able to tip a glass with him in September when I am there.

The nose, ahhh, the nose is sublime. The majority juice is merlot, but there is a sizable dollop of cab, which helps to elevate the aromas of black cherries, maple syrup, freshly baked bread and talcum powder.
The palette is wonderful. It has such clarity and purity. Tannins are balanced with the acidity and 14.2 abv. A wonderful texture which finished sweet.
The new winemaker has a tough act to follow, but I'm sure he's up to the challenge. — 8 years ago

Yes @James K, I was sad to read that he had been replaced. I met him by chance at Brix restaurant on Rt 29. After that, he chaired a tasting just for my family at the winery. Such a unique and memorable experience. I'm going to try and track him down in the fall.

James K

@Ron R I didn't know he had been replaced! Thanks for letting me know.

Ron R

I just a had a few bottles delivered to me. At, I think $26 per, back up the truck. Be sure to select the 2012 tho!
