yes, it is not so particular than others.
but I dont think we can get any Bourgogne at this level with this price (20 USD)
not a long age type, should be finished within 3 years

a very good merlot
nothing to be picky by a beautiful price (30USD)

celebrity with overpeiced value.
I try this wine twice for two different vintage. not much flavor fm fruit but all come fm barrel so we wait for some time, unfortunately, when fruit come out it taste sour.

I am pretty sure I can have better fm France/AZ with this price.

5/14/2012 - seamanship Likes this wine:

light/ varied syrah
but still lack some element to become good wine as N.Rhone

It's not a easygoing type but you can enjoy it in some occasion.

Actually the one I had is 2007.
Beautiful perfomance with mineral acidity.
Variation by time and long life enjoyment.

With this fair price(30 usd), wonderful white wine

odor is bloom but serious in bone
not a easygoing type but can enjoy it for a while

3/21/2012 - seamanship Likes this wine:

beautiful tannic with complex odor.
Put in the glass for 30 min to enjoy the best perfomance.

I have it for about 66 USD and will definitely get some new vintage with the same price.

3/21/2012 - seamanship Does not like this wine:

overpeak.
my third time to have this wine and believed the best period is passed.
the smell is integrated better than 2 years ago but the "heat" caused by alcohol pop out
overall is lopsided.

3/21/2012 - seamanship Likes this wine:

An underdog.
very elegant New Zealand style smell with strong body and good acidity
I like this one with 26 USD.

smell like C.Frac fm Mancia.
still tanical

2/24/2012 - seamanship Likes this wine:

Modern style
easily drink with abundant flavor but lack of complex note.
Cannot dig more fm the glass

Still a good deal with the price (USD 30)

dont feel too much performance fm other two but beautiful price for result

good with the price~(18$ USD)
besides good smell fm the oak, some violet hint by syhan is also there.
can tell is fm S.A. fm its strong body with a little "salty' note in mouth

12/20/2011 - seamanship Does not like this wine:

10 years storage s/b enough to exert the character for this lable.
However, the variation of odor is there but feeble and tannic is still not tender.
it's a awkward postion for his perfermonce in between Australian shiraz and northern Rhone syran especially consider the pricing of 65 USD
