We went to the day of open cellars 2008 in Aigle. There are essentially two styles of Aigle chasselas: the light, slightly fizzy wine with a clear smell of flintstone, and the more round, less fizzy, almost oily version (similar to many Dezaleys). Comparing abuot 20 different Aigles, the Murrailes, even hough very commercial and made in large quantities, was somewhere between those two extremes, but closer to the fizzy-flintstony version, overall a very pleasant incarnation of Aigle. It is sold in Switzerland for around 15$, which is rather expensive for a chasselas.
Hands down my favorite wine I have found. I loved it so much, that I ended up driving to the wine farm to pick up a case. I was very happy when I suddenly found it available at Trader Joes, and Cost Plus.
This is a very wonderful and surprisingly bold wine for being so young. Tastes are wonderful and full bodied. Can be drank now or save for a few years.. it will keep very nice and hold its own.

Love this – had it a few times and it is soft, perfect and holds up alongside the best bolognese…
Bought this wine the day I heard about Robert Mondavi’s death. Drank it a day later after a moment of silence.

Yep, the best of the 6 Albarinos that I’ve tried. Excellent QPR.
How can we get our labels added to the site?
One of the better Zinfandels I’ve drunk in recent years.

Good wine. Typical of the terroir. Dark, dry, earthy, bold, non-filtered
and might contain deposit.
just drank the 2004,smooth as silk and a grat label
The labeling of your wine is extremly fantastic.
I got this for $5.48 a bottle and it was well worth 3x that much. Very good wine.
Very good Merlot for the price, I got it for under $7 a bottle.
For the price, this wine is excellent. The whole line of Pepperwood wines is actually.
I didn’t like this wine at all, warning for others.
I would love to give this to my Irish Friends on St Patrick’s Day. Crisp and Friendly and not at all overdone!
Rockpile Road is a “must-have” wine. It’s rich, spicy and outstanding!
Love it!
