Shout out to kostic/house. Lime, honeysuckle. Hanging on for a year or two (2013) improves palate weight and honeyed texture. — 9 years ago

Really good. Assume carbonic. A little more than easy-going. Perfect edge of ripeness. Very fresh dark fruit, acidity and minerals that are salty and deep. — 8 years ago

9.0

Can't believe that this is not Pinot. Pale ruby. Dried strawberry and delicate sweet spice aromas. Scant tannins but long pleasant berry acids throughout with a ripe berry core gently radiating outward to delicate effect — 9 years ago
