Don't take yourself or your wine too seriously. CSW.
True to the region, i think. It’s everything that I expected. Dark coloring, leaning towards purple. When properly decanted I get some grass, strawberry, and wild berries. Medium acidity, medium to heavy on tannins. Some black tea and herbaceous notes. Has a sour cranberry profile. Medium length finish. — 17 days ago
Light yellow color, a tinge of orange. Starts with some interesting scents like pear, blood orange, and dried grass. Lots of those hay -like notes. Has a bit of salinity, but not like its “Big Salt” brother. Quite dry but paired well with some spicy Vietnamese dishes. — 17 days ago
Such a delicious offering from Craft Wine Co. It’s bottles like this that make me thankful i’m a wine club member there. Eola Springs Vineyard is a rather well known vineyard in the Van Duzer Corridor, and its cool Craft got some grapes in such a good vintage.
The 2018 is in its prime right now but seems like it could go for a good while too. Nice light ruby color with a slight orange lip. Aromas of black cherry, red cherry, and raspberry mixed with earth. The acidity level is perfect, and there are enough tannins to make you pucker. Wonderful fruit inside with a good long refreshing finish. Wish i had another bottle! — 14 days ago
Birthday year wine for me! Might not be the best Tig vintage, but nothing to scoff at. The ‘88 is getting to be almost last prime, this time bottle showing well. Rusty red with strong aromas of cigar box, leather, and pencil shavings. Drinks slightly thin, and im not getting much fruit. Still, it’s tasty and a special vintage to me. — 17 days ago
Nice strong orange color with notes of apricot and honeysuckle. Good structure but dry. Finishes with an almond nuttiness. — 17 days ago
Really solid california chardonnay that gives you all that you want in this varietal from that region. Light golden color. Has a toasty and slightly oxidized nose that gives way to tropical fruits. Mostly pineapple. Great structure, strong acidity but not biting. More tropical flavors inside with vanilla, some lemon butter, and a nice oak finish. — 17 days ago
Characteristic of the region, this gamay has a nice purple color and is very aromatic with ripened tart red fruit and spices. Few tannins, low to medium acidity, and great smoothness. Some baking spices and raspberry, it drinks fresh. Has a depth and complexity that drinks at a higher price point. — 17 days ago
Had a slight funk that eventually blew off to reveal aromas of tea leaves, cedar, and pencil shavings. Unfortunately, slightly past prime, but still shows a medium body. Acids are all gone, and it is quite mellow. Flavors are still instructive, showing what was once ripe blackberry. Glad to try it! — 17 days ago
Nice light golden color leaning towards yellow. Smells like honey and apricots, some cirtus peel too. Saline and dry, a bit too tight unfortunately. Has some nutty qualities on the end. Paired very well with vietnamese food, but would prefer it slightly colder than I had it. — 17 days ago

Im not too familiar with these varietals but this drinks like a hearty california syrah. Clear deep ruby color, with a masculine nose featuring cut wood, nuts, plums and cherries. There’s a bit of heat from high alcohol and strong acidity levels, medium tannic structure, but a good feel. Lots of ripened fruit, chocolate, and spice. Long warm finish. — 9 days ago
