9.1

Smoke and rock. Pours golden honey colored. Nose is off the charts wild and deep. Smoke with liquid rock. Palate is light compared to nose. Minerals, more rock, moderate acidity. — 22 days ago

8.7

Starts pretty good: green apple, grapefruit, minerality, moderately high acidity. As it opens it gets a little flabby with fruit turning towards banana and losing its little zing. — a month ago

8.7

Expected more. Lots of dark berries and jammy, but not much in the way of nuanced layered complexity. — 2 months ago

7.8

Goes well with pizza, but as an expression of terroir it fails miserably. Lots of vanilla, oak, and fake berries. — a month ago

9.7

Marvelous. Decanted and drank throughout the day to see how it changed. Cherry, raspberry, hint of tar, licorice, violets. The flavor lingers endlessly. Fresh and complex. — a month ago

8.9

Excellent value. Fruit is darker, concentrated berries with some tar and a hint of smoke. Short finish. Could use another layer of complexity. — 2 months ago

8.4

Vanilla bomb. Bordering on over-oaked. Little mocha / chocolate finish after all the vanilla and oak. Those notes overpower the fruit. Would be food with a steak but eh by itself. — 4 months ago

9.0

Subtle, but when you pay attention, it is great. Slatey minerals, cherry, strawberry, slight anise, and the slightest hint of tar. High-minus acidity keeps one coming back for more. Does not do well in mixed flights—too nuanced. — a month ago

8.8

Almost an interesting wine. Has notes of raspberry, cassis, oak, vanilla, and a hint of smoke. But very little volume or life. Low acidity. Could be so much more but does have a decent base. — 2 months ago

8.8

Pretty good but thin. Needs more oomph. Initial hit of cherries with some faint blackberry and violet just kind of fades without going anywhere else. Good acidity (med+). — 3 months ago
