In my personal and humble opinion no one does a more interesting and better complex wine than Randall Graham in this wine. It will pair with virtually anything and I have never had anyone say anything short of spectacular when I open this up. Compare that to your 100-plus dollar options where you sort of expect it and when it falls short you feel slighted. This won't happen with this wine.

3/2/2014 - DDicaprio Likes this wine: 91 pointsLots of bottle variation here. After a first review pan, a second bottle tasting was more of what I thought to expect even in this off vintage, will wait for third tasting to make a more informed decision. There was no flatness that I saw in the previous bottle, the flavor profiles were more structured and came together nicely.

Medium to long finish and concentrated wine. Very young but so delicious that it is hard not to drink now. Should age for a decade.

2/9/2013 - psi wrote: 91 pointsFirst bottle of six. I had expected a floral, Côte Rôtie look-alike style from this wine. But this wine had a more masculine in-your-face kind of attitude with tons of green and red pepper together with roasted meat in the nose. The wine had a meaty profile with mature black fruit and some smoke and I detected no floral notes. The palate was dominated by pepper backed up by warm - albeit not cooked - black fruit and roasted flavours. The wine had not an elegant profile. But it was a very good, powerful, straightforward and peppery one with some underlying complexity. Based on other users' notes, I conclude that this was not a representative bottle. I hope to find a more floral and elegant style in some of my remaining bottles.

Massive tannins; flavors of black and blue fruit, caramel too. With air, notes of tar, brown sugar and dill appear- teh dill starts to dominate. Long finish. Guessed Petite.
