Let this open up for 90 minutes and be surprised with the weight, richness and complexity. Dark red fruits, soft leather tannins, eucalyptus on the nose and spice notes. — 9 years ago

I'm a fan. Stunning and drinking perfectly. Classic Howell Mountain juice, firm tannins, gorgeous balance assisted by the merlot. — 10 years ago

9.1

2004 blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera & Dolcetto. Opens up and gains weight with a slight decant but basically a light, refreshing and acidic pizza wine. Rustic, more tart cherry fruit and firm tannins. Probably at peak drinking window. — 11 years ago

Love Revana but not my favorite vintage. Big dark fruit, some heat & oak, along with earth & mineral. Finish is a little off. Still a fan overall. Drank fine with rack of lamb. — 10 years ago

Gorgeous, came together after about 90 minutes. Still dark purple color, dark berry fruit, oak, slight smoke and well integrated tannins. Time to drink up. — 11 years ago

9.6

OMG crazy good, just classic and aging well, smoky red fruit, subtle spice and oak, the color is browning but the nose is still quite bright. Wish the tannins were a little firmer but still some grip. This is a wine to appreciate but not sure it gets better with age. — 11 years ago
