5/19/2016 - Gargantua Does not like this wine: NRHere was a quick whatever purchase by Jane who needed something to drink while I was finishing antibiotics, and she couldn't drink jewels from our cellar. Leftover since I've gotten better. Wow, neither of us like this Riesling at all. It's got a heat-damaged/acetyldehyde/band-aid thing going on with the finish, and is straight up unpleasant. Perhaps this bottle was indeed damaged at some point in the cold chain from GER to the wine shop; I honestly can't see anyone enjoying this. Sure, it's just $12, but that doesn't mean this needs to taste so bad. It should just be insipid at worst.

7/21/2017 - HitAnyKey Likes this wine: 90 pointsQuite wonderful and still boasting a good amount of fruit. Pouring through a filter into decanter helped with any sediment (plus, the cork broke). Well balanced, dark fruits, earthy components, and more. Really love Jeff's wines when aged.

9/10/2013 - drwine2001 wrote: NRKermit Lynch Dinner-Recently Aquired Producers (Range, San Francisco): A fascinating wine which by turn had some florality and herbs, the lemony brine of Muscadet, the quinine, cyanic bitterness of some Chablis, and an additional layer of glossy sheen (like a Chenin Blanc) to boot. Very dynamic in the glass.

8/7/2014 - Thirsty1 Likes this wine: NRI really like this. Super tasty. Brioche, toasty, toffee, it just got so much going on it's like a NY night club. This is a big bottle of bubbles that spacious with a lot of texture and movement. Great finish. Yummy.

3/15/2014 - EndreS wrote: NRFresh and tingling. Gives off smell of green apples, lime and some stoney minerals. Very smooth and light, piercing acidity. Very easy-drinking and the balance is there but for the acid which sticks out slightly. Seems a bit raw.

9/23/2013 - fingers wrote: 84 pointsMedium straw color. Fine, vibrant mousse. Buttermilk biscuit, apple, and citrus on the nose. A little out of balance until an hour or so open and then it smooths out to give a nice, off-dry texture with a light bite of acidity. Simple fruit and waffle notes on the palate. Short to average length on the finish. Pedestrian, but sometimes it's okay to walk ;) 4+9+14+7 = 84

10/15/2013 - pifcho wrote: 87 pointsI changed my mind about a dozen times on this wine over the course of three nights. But I think that's just how I feel about white rhones. While I find their richness and nuttiness intriguing and appealing, most of the times they are just too big and alcoholic for me. This wine did get lighter on its feet with time and certainly worked well with richer autumn fare, but just sipping it - not my thing.

2/23/2013 - Frank Murray III wrote: NROpened about a 1/2 hour ago, dropped into the freezer to put some chill on it. Aromatics seem a little shy, but there is some faint marine notes here and lemon, but again subtle. The palate shows sea shell, orchard fruit--yellow apple, nectarine--then in the finish is where the citrus pith comes in, along with a saline/mineral water quality and some bright acid. $30 for these.....while I often wonder if I'd simply put the Michel dollars aside and pool them for a few Dauvissat or Raveneau, I seem to end up buying Michel yet again and enjoying the pleasure of having more of his cuvees, versus a couple single bottles of really GC chablis.

Heavy, rich, luscious and lithe, this is undoubtedly one of the greatest dessert wines I've ever tasted and competes with Dal Forno et al. A neverending finish of espresso, sorghum, chocolate, caramel. Otherwordly.

10/1/2011 - Highmountain Does not like this wine: 80 pointsI got suspicious when opening the bottle. The cork was quite easy to remove and was totally soaked all the way up to the waist. Hay color but a hint of Madeira to the nose. All the good stuff was there, bread, apples and some yeast but the light oxidation was like a wet blanket over the bouquet. Drinkable but not my kind of Champagne.

11/28/2010 - jimkay21 wrote: 85 pointsA blend of 47% Zinfandel, 29% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Petite Sirah. Dark black/purple. Zinfandel is obvious in the nose. There's also a slight tinge of something like varnish or plastic. Fleeting, but it's there. Palate has black fruit but is short with a hollow finish where the flavors seems to turn to water. No finish. It is plush, i.e. low acid, and drinks like juice. Not unpleasant and probably has more umph than other wines in this price/category. Would make a good reception wine as long as you don't spill any on your clothes. I'm pretty sure the stains wouldn't come out.
