3/23/24, 9:31 AM - Fair enough. Glad you enjoyed.
1/31/24, 6:08 PM - Hi Mark:Agree with all you said re: Sojourn. Sangiac easily their best, but flavors fade quickly upon pnp. Starts strong, finishes average (2 hrs later). Have tried putting in fridge overnight with mixed success.
8/6/22, 6:02 PM - What scoring system are you using?
4/16/22, 9:19 PM - Thanks for posting. Just fished my bottle out of the PWB and was thinking of serving at Easter Brunch. Will serve something else instead and try on a night when the stakes are low. Thanks again.
1/2/22, 12:20 AM - Poetic Harley. Also was torn. Terrific aromatics, but wanting on the palate. Perhaps in another couple of years. Enjoyed your note.
12/26/21, 1:30 PM - Thx SRH!
10/13/21, 11:22 AM - Appreciate it, srh. And thanks for posting the additional info!
8/1/21, 5:07 PM - I read that somewhere, too, about the vintage Mark - I was probably a little generous with the score in hopes of some improvement. A favorite at my local wine store.
7/31/20, 1:48 PM - Hi Lucas - Noticed you really liked the Saxum Bone Rock but not so much the James Berry. Why?
5/31/21, 9:06 PM - I know what you mean - both regarding in-your-face Paso wines (frequently overripe, muddled and high alcohol) and the more complex blends from France. I, too, have mostly moved on - undoubtedly why I finally cleared the wait list at Saxum!
3/6/21, 5:46 PM - Not to nitpick, but SHL didn't buy their portion of the vineyard until 2011.
2/11/21, 3:56 PM - Many thanks for this, MSU. Looking to move beyond the tired offerings from KB, W-S et al and you've provided a terrific primer. Have enjoyed Sam's work @ MM and looking forward to giving the pinot/chard a try. Any vintage better than any other?
2/11/21, 10:03 PM - Thanks all for your insights! Greatly appreciated.
12/12/20, 8:21 PM - Dead on. We also really enjoyed this!
8/25/20, 2:18 PM - You nailed it. While we enjoyed it, we couldn't find a bit of nuance in any part of this and one of us actually said "nothing Old World about this".
6/6/20, 6:18 PM - Did not decant. Don't expect that would make much of a difference, but interested to see what you think!
6/6/20, 8:42 PM - I’m with you, Les. If you read my prior note, we really loved this 6 months ago. Our last bottle was a bit off. Really like what Denner does in general! Thx for your post.
5/30/20, 2:45 PM - What did you pay for it? Costco has it for $20.
3/8/20, 8:09 PM - Thanks, Mark. Also check out the Rodgers Creek.
2/28/20, 10:34 PM - Hey Pietro. Noticed that you don’t have any wines in your cellar or tasting notes. Are you a shill for the winery or distributor? Stand by my review.
3/1/20, 11:03 AM - Lol. Grazie, Pietro! Saluti!
2/3/20, 8:32 PM - Why are these wines so expensive? Enjoyed the 2010 vintage, but didn't think it was worth the asking price. You?
2/3/20, 8:29 PM - 6 days in the fridge?! :) Still think this early in drinking window?
2/3/20, 8:26 PM - Greatly appreciate your review. Sadly, I have felt the same way about the Estate Cuvee in prior vintages. Haven't cracked my 2 open yet - maybe another year in the cellar?
12/11/19, 10:21 AM - Thanks filstan. Big fan of Mick, but don't keep his stuff too long!
7/27/19, 5:06 PM - Great descriptors, Wilypod, and Happy Fourth!
3/2/19, 2:22 PM - Couldn't agree with you more, PMJAK! Have some of the 2010, 2012 and 2015 in my cellar as well. Best "second" in all of Pauillac!
12/18/18, 12:11 AM - Thanks, Oregonnative. It did indeed improve after an overnight. In future, will either decant or give more time to oxidize.
12/18/18, 12:38 AM - Ken322: perhaps "brand extension" (rather than second wine) would have been more precise. In any case, I stand by my observation - RoseRock is labeled differently for a reason.
12/18/18, 9:02 PM - Whatever, Ken.
4/28/17, 9:17 AM - Really helpful - thanks.
4/19/15, 7:35 PM - Welcome back, Richard!
2/4/15, 11:13 PM - Costco seems to have spread these all around the Bay Area. I found some in SF and Mtn View.
10/2/13, 4:59 AM - Thanks for the extensive notes and suggested alternatives.
6/10/13, 9:57 PM - Agree with your take. What's your favorite Highland whisky?
12/15/12, 10:27 AM - Thanks for the insights JJA!
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
