So I started my wine collecting thing (obsession) around 8-9 years ago. This was among the first wines I bought and they have been sitting in my cellar since. I opened a bottle of this a couple of years ago and today the second one. The first bottle was obviously good quality then, but the wine was still too young: nervous and steely (chablis!). I find it beautiful to see that the first bottles are now coming around into their drinking window.

So this has fleshed out considerably and just entering it's drinking window. A rich creamy texture surrounded by lime, yellow flowers and oyster shell. Enough acidity to support the whole thing. Balanced. — 9 months ago

Summer obsession. Floral with mineral and spice notes. With food or without - lovely. — 7 years ago

Etna Rosso is quickly becoming my new obsession. Tart cranberry and cherry is balanced by dried savory herbs, compost, and puckering acidity. — 9 years ago

I was looking for '09 Bordeaux to break my Burgundy obsession and I stumbled on this. Young but balanced and very approachable now. — 9 years ago

Perfect blend of acidity and crisp citrus flavors. I had to move on from my rose obsession. A good Riesling is sooo much better. — 10 years ago

So good to be drinking this bottle again… the 2014 vintage was what started my obsession with French Bordeaux’s year ago. Glad to report this is still a fantastic bottle! Fruity and well balanced. Tannic and fruity. I just love this wine and will continue buying it, for the price it’s a great R bank Bordeaux. #nostalgia #bordeaux — 2 years ago

In a word, delicious. Lots of floral and fruit notes. A little sweet but also has a nice tartness that balances. A great white! — 6 years ago

Recent Barbera obsession continues. Big but smooth. Gorgeous but tiny bite at the end. Settles so well. Great with burger or pizza if going heavy even for a lighter wine. — 9 years ago

Off dry with a good acid backbone and a very nice silky round body... the Riesling obsession continues.... — 9 years ago

This bottling is my new found favorite obsession! Wonderfully full bodied for an Oregon Pinot. Great fruit and spice on the nose. Full, round fruit with hints of sweet earth and the spice comes back around on the finish... Am loving this wine and can't get enough of it! — 10 years ago

2018 vintage. Umm...yeah..about this wine...showstopping and seductive. Both big and supple. Deluxe plushy. Tannins relegated to future considerations. Supposedly 90% Grenache and difficult to fathom given both the intensity of dark color and the softness in said dark color. Wouldn't trot this out for someone's first big CDP as representative of the appellation but as a finisher in a lineup of 10+ CDP's? Absolutely. This is one of those wines that leads to an (unhealthy) obsession. Burn after reading and you never saw this. — 3 years ago

This is the SB that started my obsession with Sauvignon blanc. I remember picking it off a half priced wine list and drinking it with chicken wings- I didn't know wine could be so refreshing or fun. Years later, it is still just as good. Passionfruit, pineapple, grass, and cat urine nose. Notes of bell pepper, peach, lime, guava, and herbs. Medium body. LOVE. — 6 years ago

Stepping away from my bold cab obsession for some pinot with pork roast tonight. Strawberries & raspberries come to mind, a little spicy. — 8 years ago

I admit, I have a milld obsession with Greer wines. Gorgeous crimson color. On the nose: flint and dark fruits. Extremely layered with a smooth texture and incredibly long finish. Dark berries galore, baking spice (cinnamon?) and trademark Rutherford dust. 3 hour decant. This is a baby. I try to keep my hands off them but they keep calling to me in the cellar 😂. Incredible now, but I think these will improve with a few more years in bottle. — 9 years ago

How else to warm up for a trade tasting of invigorating Champagne this afternoon? Penetrating Sercial Madeira from the year that brought us the Boy Scouts of America. If wine were merit badges perhaps I'd nearly be an Eagle by now... After this evening's tasting I'll have quite a heavy merit badge sash for Champagne -an obsession that can reach no surfeit -it becomes more fascinating and evermore nuanced. For the moment however I'm awash in crushed kumquats in honey, marmalade, hazelnuts and roast peanuts -all layered among so much more in one of the richest Sercial Madeiras I've tried to date. — 10 years ago
