2001 Coturri Chauvet Vineyard Zin TN's?

Well, Pablo, if the Speculator, RP and the other one are what you use to make your purchases, then it sadly appears you may be a score hunter. I, and many others here, buy 50 or more cases a year. The majority of my buys are from wineries that make 3000 or less cases a year, certainly not your Constellation (haven't bought Mondavi in at least 12 years) or Diageo (have never bought Chalone) or any other big corporations you might want to name. Your references do carry weight to most here, BUT only as references, not to be followed as bible. After forty years drinking wine, and many years in the wine business, I rely more on my own taste to buy my wines. I read Laube, Steinam, Parker, Olken and the rest, and I'm able to quite accurately judge how I'll react to a wine based on what they've said in the past and how I've perceived the wine. One very important thing I rely on in the wines I buy is consistency. If I try a wine and I like it, I want to know that I can buy that same wine again (from the same vintage of course) and have the same experience. I don't find that consistency with Coturri, so, no thanks. I guess that leaves all that more for you, Pablo, so go for them. BTW, do you have any original thoughts of your own on the subject, or can you only parrot what others have said?
