A nicely aged wine at its pinnacle. Smooth, integrated tannins with dark fruit and leather. Good acidity but still pleasing without food. Some whisps of smoke on the backend. — 2 years ago

Who knew they made great wine in the Lehigh Valley? This is the top grape in the region according to the producer. Shockingly good. Ripe berries, delicious soil, and well balanced. Will be buying again. Thanks to Peggy @ Earth for hooking it up. A very nice first Pennsylvanian wine for me. — 6 years ago

Another solid vintage of this wine. Very similar characteristics as the 2012 Vintage. Pinnacle presents the best version of the Chambourcin grape in good growing years. — 8 years ago

This was good. It wasn’t earth shattering like the way the cashier made it sound, but it was decent — 8 years ago

If you're looking for the pinnacle of Moon Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon in an old world style look no further. Bright acidity with elegant tannins are guaranteed to impress. Drinking great now. With potential to age gracefully — 5 years ago

Dinner with a friend, brief notes this evening.

Prior notes still apply:
Nose has warmed Granny Smith apple with butter.
Palate had serious zingy acidity to start, but since subsided, now a combo of yellow/green apple, water chestnut and a minerally honey.

Last bottle, amazing, still has many years ahead!

48 Hour Update:
Nose has fried green apples, brown butter, toasted honey, caramel candy, dried apricots, cold green herbs and white flowers.
Palate has tart yellow apple, caramel sauce, saturated oak board, honey, water chestnuts, tart peach jam, Jasmine flowers, with medium acidity and intense finish, lightly drying, very powerful.
We should have opened all the prior bottles two days in advance, this is just approaching the pinnacle of its enjoyment, wow. Enjoy now or the next 2-4 years, from proper storage. Updating from 92 to 94 points. — 6 years ago

There is a lot of vodka in the world. It’s just vodka so what does it matter right? Well it does. This one is somewhat neutral but blends well and does not go weird or vanish altogether. New Amsterdam (from Gallo) vanishes. Grape vodkas go weird as heck. Potato vodkas are finicky. I would put this above Sveda and about equal with Finlandia. No need to pay twice as much for grey goose when it’s being mixed. — 7 years ago

A pinnacle bottle, dense but weightless, perfectly laced up and down with elements of minerality, floral citrus and spiced wood intensity which is on another level. Drinking quite wonderfully. — 8 years ago

The first thing you notice is the orange rim. The smell of violets is over powering in he glass. Tobacco, tar, leather are prominent and the tannins are still firm. A wonderful wine with a long finish. After many Langhe and Nebbiolo d'alba wines it's nice to get back to Nebbiolo at its pinnacle. — 9 years ago

Was an aspirational bottle for me and finally saw one in a shop in Charleston. Pinnacle of Etna wine making. Contender for WOTN but shockingly beat out by the Alsace 🐐. @Kyle Harvey getting live tasting notes via text from the wine maker was quite a flex. #summitIV — 4 years ago

Sweeter than I thought but not too sweet. Drank on its own and with a creamy chicken dinner. Would buy again. — 8 years ago

This is the pinnacle of Barbaresco here. Absolutely stunning wines, cerebral in their aromatics and unforgiving in their tannins. More notes to come. A very special older vintage line up. — 8 years ago

Fonseca 1977 VP. Just a tremendous wine with all kinds of depth. I've had better bottles, but this ones awfully close to the pinnacle. — 9 years ago
