6/10/19, 2:57 AM - mmm 12 bones
3/29/17, 10:00 PM - Had this recently and generally agree with your comments- acid not being high enough for the extreme sweetness made it hard for me to see all the delicious and exotic, complex notes that others cite
3/13/17, 6:20 PM - Found myself with similar thoughts last time I tasted, though going in I wanted to hate it
1/17/17, 7:49 PM - If it's one of the greatest things you've ever tasted, why isn't it a 98-100?
1/18/17, 7:17 AM - Makes sense. If you don't consider it sacrilegious, some delicious things you try with this wine would be to pour it over vanilla ice cream, or make a manhatten with it (subbing it for the vermouth). I found both of those to be amazing. The wine on its own I found a little too much for me, though will give it another try if I come across it.
1/6/17, 3:25 PM - Hm, mine is still light gold
12/23/16, 6:37 AM - Agreed on better as it warms. Did think it was great tho
12/19/16, 4:19 PM - I have one of these- would you drink or hold?
9/12/16, 10:26 PM - agreed. This is one of the wines I think of whenever I feel dumb for spending more than $75 on a bottle when I remember that you can get something this great for $40-50
9/10/16, 7:28 AM - Agreed, awesome wine and amazing for the price
6/26/16, 12:00 PM - Agreed completely re vanilla ice cream
3/20/16, 5:04 PM - Nice note, makes me excited to open mine. I've gotta go try some alfalfa so I know what I'm getting into!
2/27/16, 8:22 PM - I also enjoyed this wine, though I didn't quite get minutes of finish
2/24/16, 4:14 PM - Try newton unfiltered. A little bit more money but in my opinion much better than rombauer, similar style
2/21/16, 6:28 PM - sharp bark?!?!???
2/21/16, 6:28 PM - hot fire??!?!
2/21/16, 8:59 PM - ooo, I like it
2/7/16, 4:56 PM - yea this is what annoying 23 year old girls drink when they want to feel fancy. So fake tasting
2/7/16, 6:16 AM - yea i was also really pleasantly surprised by this one. great QPR, and great bridge bw old and new world style SB
1/18/16, 8:03 AM - I'm trying to resist the urge to open mine and you aren't helping!
1/15/16, 8:01 PM - Got any more bottles you'd like to sell?
12/24/15, 6:44 AM - I've just got one- drink it now or wait?Thanks for the review
12/15/15, 5:37 AM - is the recipe proprietary? :)
11/26/15, 6:50 PM - Got any more bottles you wanna trade me?
1/19/15, 7:02 PM - :)
11/22/15, 8:47 PM - Couldn't resist opening it after reading your note, and found it as great as you described, posted my note
11/15/15, 6:37 PM - what would you rate the pizza
11/15/15, 7:51 AM - Hmm do you think it's flawed/improperly stored or just aged awkwardly?
11/12/15, 9:09 PM - Yea, please mark it as flawed
11/13/15, 5:11 AM - Thanks! How did you like the bottle that wasn't flawed?
11/12/15, 9:13 PM - I hope you picked up some Tartine and/or bi-rite on your way to or from Dolores park
11/11/15, 2:58 AM - had a very similar experience as yours, a few months ago. I'll probably wait a few years on my other one to see what happens
11/11/15, 2:56 AM - also thought it was too young but great and with great potential. If I had one more I'd probably wait 5ish, if I had a case, 2ish for the next
11/8/15, 6:48 PM - have you had the 2012 montafi or pagani? love those too- Carlisle crushed it in 2012
11/5/15, 5:25 AM - great description of a great wine
10/5/15, 7:37 PM - GREAT description, though l liked it a lot more than you
10/5/15, 6:20 PM - so would you say drink these now?
10/2/15, 7:57 PM - Great note, great wine
7/27/15, 8:09 PM - "Energy" is a word that describes this wine more than almost any other I've tried. Great review
6/9/15, 9:36 PM - Gotta be a flawed bottle, the two of these I've opened had ripping acidity
6/1/15, 8:10 PM - I thought it was more scrumptious than sumptuous :)
4/29/15, 9:24 PM - and? Did you smell it or drink it?
4/10/15, 9:13 PM - Great note, I was also mesmerized by how this wine kept changing in unpredictable and progressively more delicious ways. The best $25 I've spent in a long time. If I could find it on the east coast Id love to buy a case
4/7/15, 11:01 PM - What a great note
4/2/15, 8:29 PM - Riesling and Thai food is just the best
3/29/15, 8:57 PM - you were disappointed in the wine, or the winery having closed down?
3/21/15, 10:35 AM - sometimes this wine makes me think 1/2 burgundy 1/2 barolo. nice review
3/11/15, 6:13 PM - what is kk?
3/12/15, 5:08 PM - Thanks!
1/15/15, 7:30 PM - From who/where did you buy these?
1/16/15, 7:37 AM - Hmm, I'm in NC and neither of the 2 bottles I've tried seemed cooked. I'm sure store would give you replacements if they haven't already
1/1/15, 5:45 PM - Hmm, I found it had tons of fruit still and seemed just a few years old, esp w a few hours of air
12/27/14, 6:43 AM - Can you leave this at room temp indefinitely after you open it or is it low enough alc that it has to be refrigerated/drank within a certain amt of time after opening?
12/27/14, 6:42 AM - Drooling. Can't wait to drink mine. Going to take a lot of will power to wait another 5 years.
11/30/14, 2:16 PM - Thanksgiving leg of lamb?! I want to go to your house next year. I hate turkey.
11/28/14, 9:47 PM - hmm I had this recently and found there was a captivating nose, lots of delicious tart cherry fruit, and none of the funky sweaty stuff you write of
9/12/14, 11:08 PM - Among similarly priced, styled, and widely available I prefer Pahlmeyer Jayson and Newton Unfiltered.
