Long-lasting cascade of red and black fruits. Scarecrow never disappoints. . .

Lush and layered and intense. If it were a blind tasting, I would have thought it was Hundred Acre.

This was a Vinfolio purchase. It had held up better than the 1996 Eisele tasted alongside it. The fruits were subdued, leaving a dominant minerality.

This was a purchase from Vinfolio. Upon opening, it had oxidized notes and was closed. After decanting, it gradually opened over the next three hours. The oxidized notes dispersed, leaving a long and smooth finish. Tasted alongside a 2015 Eisele and a 1996 Dalla Valle.

With all the immortal hype, I was skeptical . . . but the flavors were explosive from the first sip. It lived up to its RP score.

Amazing. Another beauty from Hundred Acre.

Wraith is absolute perfection. A complex cascade of flavors that explode like fireworks over Hong Kong Habour. I’ve been a fan of Hundred Acre and have had many bottles, but this takes it to a new level.

Within Vik’s 11,000 acres there are dozens of micro environments, each with its own distinct wine terroir. Vik’s team took 4,000 soil samples before deciding on its vineyard locations. As Alexander puts it, Vik wines are a sort of “puzzle,” comprised not only of five blended varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon: 55%, Carménère: 29%, Cabernet Franc: 7%, Merlot: 5% and Syrah: 4%) but with each varietal also representing a proprietary blend of Vik terroir. This double layered blend—of terroirs and varietals—creates a very complex and distinct wine, unlike any other we tasted in Chile. www.luxnapa.com

Fantastic. It took about three hours after decanting to open.

We poured at 58 degrees in the wine room and then moved in front of the fire in the library. Like a chameleon, VHR 2010 changed so much as it opened and warmed that the first sip and last were so different that it could have been two wines. Needs another year or two in the cellar to reach its full potential.

Liquid black berries. Drank with an '04 Harlan, and the Quella surpassed it in complexity and elegance.

Big and bold with a long finish. Drank with a 2006 Bond Quella, which my wife and I both preferred over the '04 Harlan.
