2013 Buty Cabernet Sauvignon Beast Phinny Hill VineyardHorse Heaven Hills more |
10/31/2021 - WineGuyDelMar Likes this wine: 91 pointsDecanted four hours then poured half glasses. Dark, black color almost like a Malbec. Wonderful, deep nose. Nice balance and an explosion of dark fruits. Tannins still present but silky. Medium/Full mouthfeel. Nice extraction and structure. For me it is a bit one dimensional and doesn’t really have the flavor layersI look for. Still QPR is excellent and the wine can go for many more years. Solid effort. First time trying Buty but am inclined to add more to the cellar. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (5) |

9/11/2013 - GA_Seattle wrote: 83 pointsWeak, watery wine with faint fruit, no discernible Cabernet or Syrah characteristics. Not a strong effort, something I'd expect more like a $10 price point, very disappointing wine. Hoping it's an off bottle, but doesn't seem overtly tainted in any way. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

1/25/2022 - Neecies Likes this wine: NRAn absolutely brilliant white wine at 10 years old. No mature flavors or sign of fading, just layers of resonance from a wine grateful to have been left alone. Yellow apple, dry honey, all that with acidity and structure leading into a long finish. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

10/29/2017 - prism wrote: 89 pointsUsed some for cooking; VV'd, refrigerated and revisited a couple of days later. Not the best vintage of Buty's SSM, but still a delicious iterations and a good QPR at~$US20. Tasting a bit more wood than I like and the finish is a bit short. Drink up.

12/10/2021 - Alaskawino wrote: 87 pointsOpened 3 hours prior. Very tight so decanted for an hour but still tight Try a 3 hour decanting next bottle Fruit is medium and spice minimal but enough going on to see the potential. Otherwise no decanting and try to keep it fresh with a 1 hour opening. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

11/2/2013 - CDH Likes this wine: 92 pointsReally loved this - another awesome Garagiste Mystery wine. On day one, pop & pour directly from cellar. The Syrah is front and center with the Cab taking a back seat. A plush wine with a bit of structure added by the Cabernet. I will say on day one it seemed a bit flabby - delicious on its own but not sure how well it would stand up to food. On day two, after Vacuvin at room temperature overnight, the Cabernet was more assertive, adding structure compared to the prior day. Enjoyed with beef sukiyaki at our favorite Japanese restaurant - maybe not a classic pairing but it worked for me. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2/15/2013 - Tim Heaton wrote: NRPnP. Light/medium straw, clear throughout. Brighter and more lively than the 2010 bottling - which is to say I prefer this over the latter. Medium-bodied, with aromas and flavors of lemon oil, white pepper, peaches and pears. More deserving of table wine status as opposed to sheer cocktail wine status given its quality of fruit, this nonetheless drops the ball, if only slightly, as it finishes a little hot at the back end, distracting from an otherwise enjoyable experience.

11/22/2016 - jayw Likes this wine: NRGenerous nose. Ripe peach, lemon, lemongrass, sea shell. Moderately long finish with floral lift. Unctuous texture reminds me of Viognier, but that's not necessarily bad, especially at $14 a bottle. |

7/11/2017 - SMHalps Likes this wine: 87 pointsHad this at a NYC Chinese restaurant with my wine group. I liked it, but most of my group didn't care for it. I thought it had a palate cleansing acidity, along with notes of green apple. Its very good, but not great. At the price I paid, ($16) it was a QPR winner. Some of my group thought they tasted olives.... |

9/3/2017 - kdubler wrote: NRI purchased two of these and wish I had bought more. This reminded me so much of an Old World Riesling. Dry, with potentially just a touch of RS. Extremely petrol on the nose, blew off with a little air, but mineral driven the whole time. Did have some fruit, apple, pear, but honestly not a fruit driven wine. Also had a hint of candied ginger. I know the grapes come from a Biodynamic source and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a small amount of Botrytis as well... Drinks like a lower tier Alsatian Grand Cru, but above the village level... |

1/13/2018 - JasonG wrote: 88 pointsCanary yellow color. Nose is intensely starfruit, complete with the sometimes waxy sense of the skin. Hardly any petrol in my bottle, which I’m very pleased about. Still bright but not cloying, with mouthfeel but clearly entering final phases. Still, quite good. Amazing with milk-based curries. |

6/28/2018 - thebonnydooner wrote: 88 pointsI liked this. It did not have the class or complexity of a German Mosel, but was mouthfilling and ripe, but with lightness and some tension. Maybe a little bitter on the finish., despite the citrus sweetness. Nose was nice, light petrol and citrus. Overall, a nice wine, but clearly at the end of life. |

8/15/2018 - JasonG wrote: 85 pointsHazy golden straw color. Nose is thankfully not fusel oil influenced, but definite star fruit and a trace of plastic in nose. Taste is watery at first, but finishes in more star fruit and kiwi. Nothing sweet about this, dry, almost too much so. Lacks acidity and it shows. But an interesting effort that’s not a total petrol mess. |
