I don’t understand others’ reviews. Maybe my sake palette isn’t developed. Maybe they aren’t drinking this on the beach in Maui. Either way, this is great. — 3 days ago

Other reviewers like @Ron R and @Greg Ballington have made all the relevant points. I’ll just repeat that I also enjoyed this much more than Bevans’s. The depth and concentration of fruit is outstanding. — 11 days ago

Agreeing with Galoni, this youthful wine is drinking well. Hard cherry candy, blood orange, cola, sweet spice, and Thai basil. — 14 days ago

Beautifully focused medium bodied, medium acidic Pinot, that emphasizes the savory side of Cali Pinot. — 8 days ago

Had alongside the 2014 Kanzler. This has less flesh and depth, similar juicy spritz, and carries a lot of funk. Less together than most years. — 14 days ago

Napa Syrah. Med+ acidity. Only 12.9% ABV. Hot Napa climate gives this deep, dark fruit. Nose has savory elements at first, that quickly dissipate, revealing black cherry. Reminiscent of Grenache. — 7 days ago

Old bones make damned good soup. Was listening to the I’ll Drink to That podcast today on my commute home. Monte Rosso is in Joel Peterson’s list of top old vine vineyards so I had to pop one. — 9 days ago

Drinking this on Chinese New Year and I swear I get a similar nose to baijiu. — 13 days ago

Pesenti delivers big acidity (always) and unripened qualities in its youth. — 17 days ago
