4/27/2013 - Onthelees wrote: 86 pointsGarnet color; barrel, tobacco and ripeness aromas; dominant flavor is tobacco, stems, slight acid and not much fruit followed by dry lasting tannin; begging for a grilled anything and perhaps a cigar for dessert. A little thin on mouthfeel but interesting nonrtheless |

7/6/2013 - Onthelees wrote: 87 points- Brick color. It's lacking fruit with a light/medium body. Round texture with a medium finish - More fruit than the last note with cherry and raspberry predominant. Quite stemmy and dark. Enjoyed this bottle. Good value |

12/31/2012 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 88 pointsDeep opaque purple; nose evolved over days initially black fruit, sweet raisins and later more anise and tobacco; palate with blackberry, good balance and strong component of cigar which like the tongue coating tannins were very long-lasting and enjoyable as was the enhanced feel; different than I remember but not a lesser wine. The last glass consumed with a fabulous hickory grilled T-bone and a real homemade Caesar salad. Not bad at all! |

8/22/2013 - Onthelees wrote: 85 pointsClear light tan; strong nose of lime, rind and a whiff of vanilla; intense lime and rind flavors with moderate to strong acidity and minerality and background of a touch of aspirin. Noted the same terminal bite as Snoman. Settled down day 2 to more approachability. Enjoyed the uniqueness of this wine but not sure I would seek out |

2010 Archeo Nero d'Avola Sicilia Ruggero di Tassomore |
2/25/2013 - Onthelees wrote: 84 pointsWell I guess Paul Hobbs is going to kick me off the list if he finds out I bought and drank this one but I am a sucker for Nero d' Avola. Flat as a pancake upon opening; almost no nose and unidimensional palate. Opened up almost immediately adding acid and nano-tannins. Second day, an almost fruitcake cornucopia of aromas including mostly red fruits but also cloves, cinnamon. On the palate, tart Cherry Heering with pretty impressive acid, cloves, zest and fruitcake spice. Sweeter as well. What do you want for $5 at Trader Joes? Not bad! |

6/23/2013 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 89 pointsPale straw color; shy nose of citrus and hints of iodine; citrusy lemon with clearly stated salinity and iodine with good acid and length. Just in time for summer |

3/8/2015 - Onthelees Likes this wine: NRBut for the excited words of tasters I respect, we would have waited on this one. Light gold with a bright, crisp, citrusy mix of lime, lemon, and grapefruit warming to pear, peach and vanilla, brimming with tingly mineral acidity. An oral alert- a vinous L.E.D. in your mouth. Very glad we did not wait. |

2/10/2014 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 91 pointsPretty much as others review it. Citrus and cream nose, lemon and minerals with moderate acidity. Quite lean. May not be quite as good as 2011 but maturity could make a big difference. Very good. |

8/10/2013 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 93 pointsConsistent with previous note, maybe better; this is becoming a favorite. A friend aptly stated, "It reminds me of good champagne absent the bubbles." Great. |

3/10/2013 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 92 pointsGold; lemon, honey and after time toast on the nose; lively flavors of lemon, cream, a touch of honey, something almost tropical, and minerals with a little spice on the medium finish. Moderate and welcome acidity. Delightful and refreshing, both physically and stylistically. "Five out of five" per my Chablis-loving wife. American Chardonnay redefined. |

9/2/2015 - Onthelees Likes this wine: NRGold tinted straw color; aromas more generous than 19 months ago with more flowers, pear, even melon to accompany the peripheral vanilla cream noted last time; fresh palate with moderate (compared to the 2013 Trout Gulch bottling) acidity and mouthfeel leaning toward silky; lemon, pear, apple, cream and, later, grapefruit flavors with zest sparking the finish. Minerality was less evident than the last bottle. More depth this time around but not quite as much cut. Love this wine but still think the 2011 was better. |

7/25/2017 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 92 pointsHas improved over the last bottle. Pale yellow, nose of citrus, chalk and a touch of sweetness, but quite chilled which likely covered the nose to some degree. Crisp lemon with trailing hazelnut, minerals and a silky mouthfeel, long finish sprinkled with a micron of powdered sugar. Day one was more Chablis-like but day 2 provided the greater overall satisfaction, picking up body and depth. Fabulous Chardonnay. |

5/19/2013 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 88 pointsPale tan in color. Somewhat reticent nose of peach, yeast and maybe a little earth. Also perhaps a hint of aspirin. Light on the palate with hard to pin down flavors of peach, mango, earth and maybe a pencil tip of graphite. Maybe. Moderately long on the finish. Better with time. Good for light aperitif or fish. |

2/1/2015 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 90 pointsConsumed over a week ago so no detailed notes. Our two bottles were fresh yet complex, fruity and great food wines. The petrol notes mentioned by others were evident suggesting Riesling as one component but their easy drinking buoyant nature made them fun. Some residual sugar. Would buy more next time if A-N chooses to vinify. |

10/19/2016 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 90 pointsFresh, fruity but slightly lean, smooth mouthfeel, moderately long, trailing herbal elements, just different enough to justify the tariff. I will buy this every time A-R decides to vinify it. |

2013 Arnot-Roberts Pinot Noir Peter Martin Ray VineyardSanta Cruz Mountains more |
4/30/2016 - Onthelees Likes this wine: 91 pointsSlightly turbid ruby. No decant. Very little on the nose and very flat unimpressive palate. Day 2, a completely different wine. Vivid nose of cherry, strawberry, earth and herbal notes. Medium body and medium + acidity with soft tannins. Palate reflects the nose with delicious red fruit, and savory earth and herbal components. Moderate + length. Delicious. Obviously this wine needs a good decant. |

5/4/2015 - Onthelees wrote: NRDeep burgundy; the most appealing aspect of this wine is its lip smacking acidity which was truly mouthwatering; the nose showed prominent brandied cherry and herbs: the palate offers herbal elements, cherry and strawberry flavors which evolve through a spicy phase into the acidic, lightly tannic finish. Thin from a body perspective with average length. Less complex on day 2. |
