11/30/2018 - Dale Rattles Likes this wine: 91 pointsBought 4 bottles on WTSO for $27 each. Was expecting one or maybe two to be drinkable, but with 3 down these have been remarkably consistent. Of course, shows a bit of bricking on the edges, but the legs remain nice and this drinks quite well, and like a proper “library” wine. I double-decanted and removed the sediment which heightened the experience. I’m glad I tried this one, I’ve made poor WTSO choices in the past....

7/23/2019 - 1961Vintage Does not like this wine: 85 pointsSimply not knocking my socks off as a $40 cab should. Seems too disjointed and lacking. Love to hear from anyone who thinks differently. I loved AJ Foyt as a driver, just don't appreciate his efforts nearly as much in the vineyard.

2011 Smith-Madrone Cabernet SauvignonSpring Mountain District more |
2/20/2019 - TallMikeWine Likes this wine: 94 pointsThere was a vintage, characterized by some in the wine writing community as being a "bad year". But if course people working in that community need things about which to concoct stories. The stories of 2011 being a "bad year" have been greatly exaggerated. Know this.

3/5/2022 - GJVines Likes this wine: 89 pointsDrank after about an hour in the decanter. A bit vegetal for my tastes, with lots of green pepper on the palate. Seemed overly extracted, but even with all that it was not terrible.

2017 Stony Hill ChardonnaySpring Mountain District more |
6/11/2020 - Mds319 Likes this wine: 90 pointsFirst time trying Stony Hill. Definitely a bright, acidic, dryer Chardonnay. Lots of citrus flavors mixed in with some floral notes and Granny Smith apple. No oak influence so lighter mouthfeel. Also lots of minerality. Good but not sure I would buy again.

3/25/2016 - Davetroup Likes this wine: 90 pointsEven better the second night (used wine preserver but might not have needed it.). I really like this wine. There was an initial "this is weird" reaction to the fizz, as my previous review demonstrates, but after I got past that, I could drink this stuff all day long. Not that I would, mind you. Unfortunately, life's responsibilities won't allow me to be in "enjoying wine" mode all day long. But it's a nice goal! Haha

2010 Kiepersol Estates Winery Barrel No. 33Texas Red Blend more |
5/22/2015 - mflesh Likes this wine: 92 pointsProbably the nicest medium-to-full bodied Texas red wine I've had to date. Aged for FORTY ONE MONTHS in New American Oak (wow!...?). This wine poured a dark red with hints of violet. Served pop and pour slightly below room temp. The nose out of the glass is anise, strawberry and mint. On the palate, this one has zero acid, and levels of RS that are very much in check. The palate of this one is quite different from the nose. Mint, black cherry and terroir show right up front. Cocoa sits in the middle, mixing well with both the terroir notes that become more expressive, and the black cherry notes that become more subdued. Finish is oak and ripe red berry without being overly tannic. I definitely believe this one could hold 1-2 more years, but beyond that I'm not sure.

2/27/2014 - sqn19 wrote: 87 pointsLast bottle of this - better than my experience in January - not austere and unappealing like the last bottle, there is jammy fruit here - but it's not integrated at all, drinkable but disjointed. Something went wrong here. And based on CT notes, there's clearly significant bottle variation. Disappointing based on previous experience.
