8/8/2019 - MJP Hou TX Likes this wine: 97 pointsFantastic representation of Oakville by Keplinger! Wow, it's hard to believe this is 2015. PNP with a beautiful balance of fruit and earth. Consumed over two days and it only got better. One of my favorites of the trip. 4 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (10) |

12/12/2017 - LiteItOnFire wrote: 96 pointsThis one stole the show. Decanted for 3+ hours as we left it until the last bottle. 4 couples all brought non-Cabernets. This was the hands down winner across the board. Admittedly this was after a number of bottles and after reading the previous reviews, it makes me want to open another to verify. Big dark dark fruits hit you all at once with what felt like an underlying white pepper to break the lush fruit from being too fruit forward. Luckily the decanter was nearly empty or I would have chugged my glass to get whatever was left (is that bad or appropriate- who’s to judge). 3 people found this helpful, do you?

1/29/2021 - WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine: 95 pointsNose: [58°] Red with a touch of blue fruits along with clean cedar, subtle damp earth and grass, some fresh plum and some sort of forest funk that I'm having a really hard time putting my finger on - something like damp straw or dried shrubs that got wet (not a bad thing.. rather quite intriguing). A soft dusting of graphite and smooth, dulled pebble. 5 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (7) |

4/16/2022 - TXRDW wrote: 97 pointsDrank alongside 2017 Vice Versa, 2017 Bevan Vixen and a 2016 Paragon. While all of the wines were quite good, the VHR stood out due to the purity of the fruit. Such a fresh profile, not dominated by heavy fruit but rather a lighter and more refined style. Actually reminded me of a recent 2016 Palmer, with smooth tannins and unbelievable purity. Definitely the WOTN as we paired it with grilled tenderloin. So glad that I was able to obtain several bottles as this will be such a fun wine to track over the coming years as I would expect the wine to improve by a point or two. 5 people found this helpful, do you?

6/25/2022 - MJP Hou TX Likes this wine: 96 pointsWow! This is one of my favorite Keplinger Rhones to date. Right in line with 10 Sumo. Silky smooth olive driven dark fruit and lovely, yet interesting aromatics. Spent brass and gun smoke flint minerality. Medium plus in body with a long finish. I'm blown away and left wanting to locate more. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |

11/5/2018 - LiteItOnFire Likes this wine: 93 pointsNo notes. Tasted at Keplinger downtown tasting room. Wow this wine is really well built with great balance and a wonderful glimpse into the future. Like the Sumo, this wine is already approachable yet will benefit greatly from time in the cellar. This is a wine that will be wonderful to open each year to follow the progress in itself development. Another really well done wine by Helen. 93+ 2 people found this helpful, do you?

12/2/2013 - caeleric Likes this wine: NR1 hour decant, consumed 70-30 over two days. really tough for me to place my finger on what I was smelling and tasting. maybe some florals, oak spice, red and black fruits. the nose never measured up. it was "loose," just not focused and a little boozy. but that fortunately did not carry to the palate. tasty in the mouth and very enjoyable through the finish. it was good to very good, but overpriced. it should be cleaner and more focused at this price point. if scoring, 88-90. it was better on day 2, so maybe a few years of rest will help. I just feel like there's similar quality elsewhere for half the price. 3 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (4) |
