The written commentary (tasting notes) that accompanies the ratings is a better source of information than any score regarding the wine's style and personality, its quality level relative to its peers, and its relative value and aging potential.” ImportantFactsValuesLevelsQualityWrittenStyleInformationSourcePersonalityWineAgingNotesScoreRelativePeersRatingCommentaryAccompanyTastingRelative Value Author:Robert M.

“From a wine critic's perspective, there are far too many innocuous, over-oaked, over-acidified, or over-cropped wines emerging from California. While those sins would not be a problem if the wines sold for under $20, many are in fact $75-$150. That's appalling.” IfsFactsProblemSinPerspectiveWineCriticsCaliforniaEmerging Author:Robert M.
