1/13/2014 - CRAUBER4242 Likes this wine: 92 pointsA really nice bottle of wine that we enjoyed over dinner at The Plumed Horse. A full flavored wine with pear being the headliner on the palate and a nice toasty nose. |

4/20/2013 - kmforster Does not like this wine: 87 pointsA rare misstep from Shafer. Out of balance, and the fruit has a faint urinal cake smell to it similar to what I get from a lot of lower end Syrah/Shiraz.

2009 Mount Eden Vineyards Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountainsmore |
5/29/2013 - winejnky wrote: 92 pointsThis wine has really fleshed out, riper than prior bottles, but still shows classic, creamy lemon like a good Burg. Where CA Chardonnay typically leans toward pineapple,butterscotch and oak, this wine is much more pear, apple and lemon/lime acidity. So balanced with loads of depth and character.

2007 Pax Syrah Kobler Family VineyardRussian River Valley more |
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.

There is very good depth to this as well.

6/5/2012 - WineNot? wrote: 86 pointsNot even close to a traditional bordeaux. Very disappointing. If I wanted a fruit bomb, I'd go buy a cheap California cabernet. Scary to think that there are french winemakers convinced that they have to make the same style of wine to compete in the US market. Blah...

3/4/2012 - rxlaw95 wrote: 94 pointsSo I'm rating this one way up for one simple reason. 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.

11/24/2012 - AllRed wrote: 91 points4th Saturday Group brown bagger (Mike & Cyndi's): Garnet color. Aromas of blue fruit, violets & lavender and blackberry. 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.
