6/30/18, 11:51 AM - Agree. This is a great winery. I was there a few years ago. Special place. The winery across the road is Rattlesnake. Also enjoyable, though a different experience.
1/9/17, 1:44 PM - Interesting. I had this last evening and enjoyed it much more than I did when I had it a few weeks ago. They both came out of the same cellar.
12/15/15, 5:24 PM - I agree on drinking soon, though it is still quite good. I have a few of these left - had one last week - and it is time to drink up. Still a vanilla bomb, and very enjoyable.
3/23/15, 4:07 AM - My sense is that the 2010 still has some developing to do. It definitely had more nuance to it than the 2008, and was very enjoyable. But I think holding it for another year, or so, might do it some good. That would would put it closer to the middle of the drinking window and allow the subtleties to develop a little more past the tannins to bring this beauty into its own.
11/19/14, 5:01 AM - I agree. I was very impressed with this wine when I popped it in January - much more so than expected. Have a few more that I'm waiting on for a while.
5/13/14, 10:29 AM - I agree. I think this beautiful wine is now fully integrated with a lightness at first that packs a wonderful, powerful finish on the back end. It is drinking really nicely right now - prime time.
3/1/14, 6:06 AM - I wouldn't worry too much yet. The consensus from both Spectator and Advocate suggest it isn't ready until 2016. All of the professional reviews that I have seen rated it very highly (ranging 92 - 96). I suspect it just needs time to integrate and settle out. Maybe you put a few away for a few years and see how it changes.
2/16/14, 8:00 PM - I picked up a few of these at Total Wine about a month ago. I agree it is a great bottle.
1/24/14, 9:39 AM - How much more time would you give this? I had posted a note on this a few days ago and wasn't as impressed ... perhaps I didn't give it enough time to open before diving in. Thanks.
1/24/14, 11:06 AM - Thanks, sir. Very helpful. I think I probably did jump the gun as I did not decant - only used Venturi. Your comment about this not getting much better from here makes sense. I have 2 more and will decant next time - will open soon.
12/23/13, 6:10 PM - I agree. I bought this based on JS Top 100 Super Tuscans for 2012 and was looking for a more developed wine based on that review. Not bad, just didn't live up to expectations. 88 seems about right.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
