Rich, honeyed apricot and pineapple are the primary flavors of this dessert wine. The acid has fallen off slightly but it isn't flabby. There is a noticeable amount of oak and vanilla that sits in the background. Sweet and delicious but I wouldn't wait any longer to drink it. — 8 years ago

A step up in opulence from the 2012. Seductive tropical fruit aromas flow from the moment you put this wine to your nose. Bright, mineral laced acidity gives the structure while a light use of oak ensures elegance and balance. Drinking fantastically right now but will be great for years to come. — 8 years ago

Great low abv entry level Kutch with wild dark berry fruit dominating over a well integrated graceful tannic presence. The acid is generous but not overpowering. While the finish expresses itself beautifully with lingering forest floor tones. Excellent offering that is immediately enjoyable now. — 8 years ago

Darker fruit than the 2009 but with a core cherry presence. Silky tannins and bright acid keep the wine together. The finish is long and brimming with nuances of mineral, spice, and potpourri. — 8 years ago

Nicely balanced acidity mingles with rich black and red fruit. Light notes of smoke and sweet baking spices mix with vanilla cola to frame the ample RRV fruit. Drinking wonderfully now but will shine in a few more years. — 8 years ago

A fantastic chalky mineral backbone gives way to aromas of brioche, honey, vanilla, hints of dark fruits and citrus peel. As you sip your way through the fine bubbles, these lovely aromas transform into flavors much the same. Excellent champagne for the money that offers complex flavors and irresistible, racy acidity that makes you want to grab another bottle of this great stuff. — 8 years ago

Wild ripe strawberry, raspberry, and allspice meld with moderate acidity to form balance. Fruit forward but there is a satisfying mineral component. Excellent now but would be interesting to revisit in the future. — 8 years ago

Candied red and black fruit, flowers, and Asian spice fill your nose. There is nicely integrated oak, soft tannins, and moderate acid. Lush and soft in its current state, quite enjoyable. — 8 years ago

Bright aromas of lemons and pears emerge from the glass upon nosing. Judicious use of oak allows for a beautiful mineral edge to come to the forefront while notes of pepper and white flowers follow. Definitely a more restrained style of California Chardonnay that I am loving these days. — 8 years ago
