Opened up with cherry nose and well balanced acid wise for starters. Day 2 was exactly what I was hoping for! The alcohol blew off, cherry cola and blackberry with little tannins. Old school style with that new school beat! Second time that we celebrated a special event with Bremer Claret and they have both been memorable. Nice work!

Strawberry taste balanced with nice acidity. Floral. Drank well for two days of food pairings

Robust Malbec indicative of it's Howell Mountain roots. Rich nose. Opened and decanted for an hour, may have benefitted from additional time out of the bottle prior to drinking

Amazing example of Napa Super Tuscan, hearty wine that is best accompanying food.

Solid wine. Seemed tight and thin with cola notes upon uncorking progressed into much more dynamic layered bigger wine with air and time. Tasted even better with lunch the following day

Always enjoyable to enjoy ladera's big bold mountain style cab. This one was not decanted and poured through soiree pourer and seemed a little "green. Enjoyable, but wished that I had given this one more time in the bottle

Very citrus nose and acid on the palate. Paired well with food.

Drank amazingly and improved over the course of 4 hours in a decanter. Displayed exactly what would be expected from a phenomenal Napa Cab. Well balanced tannins, good fruit nose, maintained a dark color for its age. A lttle tight to start but opened up in the decanter.

Hints of fruit, a little bit harsh on the palate

Enjoyable rose featuring fruit-forward nose full of strawberry, tasting minerality of the palate. Well balanced rose for price point.

Amazing to be able to purchase such delicious port here in the U.S. Enjoyed fruit of concentrated raisins and chocolate with a refined taste free of any sort of forced sweetness. Enjoy this with dessert or as dessert

I hate giving numbers on wines. This has been one of my most enjoyed varietals at Ehlers since my first visit. This one does not disappoint, 100% Cab Franc. Cracked it after much debate upon receiving our Ehlers Spring allocation. I passed over the 120/80 and the Merlot to get to the Cab Franc. Glad I did! Amazingly rich fruit nose for this big tasting well-balanced Cab Franc. At least as good as the CF that I have had at Ehlers. Thanks!

The nose revealed distinct and a unique bouquet of the sweetest summer fruit. A wonderful display of fruit forward nose followed by a well balanced structure on the palate and a nice crisp and dry finish. Nice timing for the summertime months.

Tough first tasting sip full of sediment was my first experience with this celebratory wine for completing first 2010 Half-Marathon. To the victor goes the spoils! Once we got past the sediment, it was an enjoyable and dynamic wine featuring a ripe fruit nose, balanced velvety mouth feel, with a difficult to place spice that resembled something between tobacco or maybe white pepper on the finish. Thank you to the people at Imagery for outstanding wines that are budget friendly. Keep up the good work!

Revana displays great fruit and amazing ability to drink well at a young age with the potential to improve over time. Well balanced and with an enjoyable finish. This wine got better with each sip.

Amazing bouquet of berries. Delicious and distinct zinfandel without any hint of tannin, silky smooth finish. Glad to have enjoyed this wine!
