Great again...see previous ratings. Full bodied, big fruit flavor, Russian River powerful, balanced deep deep dark dark fruit berry rich silky smooth fine wine from a small vintner - great with anything especially food (yes, we ate something)...

End of an era, however brief…August Recher Pinot (vintage 2021) by Robert Mueller is the among the last of Mueller Wine’s fine Pinots of the region Russian River, CA…perfect balance, full-bodied, full-flavored dark berry…top of class at any price. Ending his wine clubs and tasting rooms, Mueller sold the winery and facilities, vineyards - not the brand - to a so far unannounced name…at least per Google. The new adventure will certainly continue production but who knows if a superlative Mueller-like wine will result. Que sera’…

Fruit forward but nicely done. Seven years old, lots of room for aging in your cellar. With chicken coq au vin and potatoes fennel onion au gratin.

Trump should only be allowed to use the postal service for paper mailing of his lies.

This wine is so much better than...well, that's enough.

Not as good as prior vintages. Less structure but still earthy undertones

Still great…big Pinot from the Russian River, CA. Full-bodied balanced not overly fruity Pinot with elegance and class…a polished wine. Drank before, drink again - but not cheap…

Big, bold great again! Maybe even better now. Refined full flavor deep Pinot w/all attributes as in previous ratings even more evident...

...to the "pros", as Carson used to say to Ed... "Don't try that with me Bozo"...this is another great Mueller Pinot, Russian River. 2016 was a good year for August Recher, another single vineyard. Great nose balance legs fruit fruit mouthful succulent palate rich...typical of the better (but still not best) Mueller's.

Another top notch polished Mueller Pinot, rich with fruit. Fine bouquet, balanced. 2015 August Recher...more fruit forward than most, still great.
