Such a flavorful and rich Cabernet Sauvignon. Reminds me of a Bordeaux. — 12 days ago

This is a nice “easy-to-drink” wine! Soft enough for almost any pallet yet pairs with so many things: burgers, red meat, cheese, fruit, or just sip! — 3 years ago

Elegant and Minerally. Great acidity with a spicy foundation of tobacco and some vanilla. Bright red fruit of the raspberry kind. — 4 years ago

This bish has no right being as banging as it is for the price point (<$20). Chewy though still kinda tight on the tannins, but the foundation is all there—plum berry and currant, a streak of herbal goodness on some earthy-ass dry soil dusted with like cocoa and oak. — 5 years ago

9.1

Grapes from best sites around Heiligenstein of the former Steiner Allerheiligenstiftung, a religious foundation dating back to 1171! Able to taste ‘17&’18 side by side. Very Fragrant, more so than ‘17, aromas of stone fruits and spicy notes. On the palate plum, pear and citrus flavors with zesty spice. Medium+ length ending with vigor on an expressive fruit finish, good balance. Nice value. Tasting Sample. — 7 years ago

Surprise me of having a more herbal and vegetable foundation than the light flowery fruity that you kind of expect from this area, but it worked very well. That herbal note faded after the first blush, and it developed some delicate strawberry and hibiscus and floral notes. Good structure, never felt flabby, but after a day or two of being open, develop some cherry flavors, which just weren’t my favorite, but weren’t bad. Delicious wine.  — a year ago

2019 Vintage…nice expression of the better Chateauneuf Du Pape wines with 4 grapes as foundation. Fine balance, big flavor, dark berries almost elegant…allow to breath a bit after opening… — 4 years ago

Nose is multidimensional which consistently reveals the tasting profile. Rich, creamy foundation with Meyer lemon, pineapple, and apricot poking through. Structurally matches with nice acid balancing the richness. This is rounder and softer than I expected for a young Peay. Drinking very well already. — 5 years ago

The 2017 is exquisitely constructed with pristine silvery fruit on top of taut mineral foundation and delicately perfumed with oak and spice. — 6 years ago

Well the pros have it wrong on this one. This is 2014 Gundlach Bundschu cabernet sauvignon from Sonoma. I give it a perfect 9.8 after a 30 min decant! The blackberry and dark currant typical of a big cab is overwhelmingly good. The chocolate and spicy initial palate is to die for. Then the rush of American oak and cigar box lines the foundation of this amazing cab. The finish is dry with a subtle tart tingle on the sides of the tongue. Good grief, I need MORE!!!!!!! — 7 years ago

The 2023 Rosato is incredibly energetic like a horse waiting to bolt out of the starting gate. Ripe pineapple, pear and spiced citrus provide a foundation upon which the sparkling, lively acidity flutters. The balance here is admirable and nicely rounded and displays a lovely inner sweetness. This bottle could empty quickly. (Billy Norris, Vinous, May 2024)

This has more mineral dimension than the others. Lacks a little bit of tension in the foundation. — 4 years ago

Opens with vanilla, raspberry highlights, black fruited foundation, nice acidity and fine savoury tannin. Needed a good couple of hours for it to all come together with an earthy broad savoury finesse and finish. Next time (I’ve got 5 bottles left) will begin with a 2 hour decant and cut to where I like it :) — 6 years ago

I think 2012 will prove to be the pivot point in style & substance of the Hodder Hill right bank blend. The growing season was “classic” (meaning not a drought - What they expect, in a good way). Most importantly, there was sufficient fluctuations in the evening temperature to allow for acid to remain. 2012 was the first year of a second label premium red that focused on Merlot as the foundation. Did the development of this wine begin a distraction process that changed the left bank Hodder hill in 2013, 14 and beyond: I don’t know, but it seems the edge and focus that was so special in HH dulled at bit. — 7 years ago
