absolutely one of the best white wines I've ever had. Buttery goodness a little bit of white flower, in an amazingly smooth finish. I'm eating grilled amberjack collar freshly caught over jasmine rice what a perfect wine pairing combination — 6 years ago

Interesting wine for a Malbec. Only slightly fruity with a slight to Mid Oak flavor on the front. A nice clean finish without any bitterness one expects from a Malbec. Enjoy it with a nice steak sweet potatoes sauteed mushrooms and smoked corn on the cob. — 6 years ago

McPherson should use that shot as their promotional tool. Very “Madison Avenue.”

I am desperately trying to like this wine but it seems a bit flat with minor black pepper notes — 6 years ago

My experience of late is that the new vintages of these entry level Bordeaux leaves one often shaking one's head. I've pretty much given up as a result and am much happier spending a tad more for entry level red burgundies.
