A big powerful wine, strong fruit flavor, oak and alcohol, apparently not to everyone’s liking, but I enjoyed it as a dinner wine accompaning spicy food. I expect it will age well.

I don't want to sound like a prude but this is a big wine, with an oak and vanilla profile that just keeps getting bigger and toastier the longer it sits. Tropical, almost reductive, aromas of orchard fruit, lemons, and a hint of butter cookie. Creamy, buttery, and glyceriny, with a portly mouth feel, youthful structure, and a streak of oak spice on the expansive finish. I'd like much more restraint, especially for the lofty price tag, but maybe I’m being dramatic.

Unfortunately not my style of juice, over the top in every aspect except representing the true nature of the grape. If you like Rombauer this is the ticket, a grease spot.

Very tasty. Bright with flavors of honey and pineapple. Maybe a touch of mango. From Coravin of 2 glasses
