Dark as all get-out but with a lithe structure that betrays its color. Best Vranec I've ever had! — 9 years ago

There is a kombucha quality to the nose of this wine that I love: sour and alive. Rich and full on the palate...this was such a fun addition to our 7 fishes dinner on Christmas Eve. The mineral, brown butter finish is awesome paired with crab. This is really well done; I could never make this but I sure want to try! — 9 years ago

Clean, lemon, almond and seashells here with particularly nice balance and mouthfeel. Fun and easy to drink. Really well made; I just always find myself wanting more from Vermentino. That said, it keeps me coming back. — 9 years ago

The nose is not showing yet, but I love the texture. This needs some time for secondary aromas to develop...and then it will be great. Am I supposed to rate this like grades in school or on a scale of 100 is unobtainable perfection? In any case, I like this but it isn't worth $1,500, but it has incredible potential and could be killer once the aromas reveal themselves. — 9 years ago

I love it when aging a wine in your cellar pays off. This is perfect right now: marzipan, crispy biscuit crust, cherries and apples along with that lifted, aged, savory (almost truffled) character that makes the time in cellar worth it. The palate is crisp and fresh with good drive. Lots of life...but I love the nose now. This is the last of my 2002s; wish I had more but not all of them have lasted so well. — 9 years ago
