Great restaurant value. Dark purple color. Massive depth with vanilla, spice, and amaranth. Long finish. Easy drinking even at 16% OH. Perfect wine for tonight @ 60+ degrees on a June night in Lake Placid! — a day ago

PnP. Color is a mixture of red, purple, and maroon hues. Raisins, wood, and heat from the OH. The same on the palate. Much better than previous bottles. — 5 days ago

Happy Father’s Day! PnP’d. Very similar to previous notes. Very enjoyable but restrained on the nose and palate. Lovely texture and depth. Amarone characteristics. — 10 days ago

Drank over too long a period of time. Not really my style. Bold and filled with plums and chocolate. — 10 days ago

PnP. Translucent red color. Bright cherries and strawberries along with green elements on the nose. Earthy, high OH, with some bite on the end. More Burgundy than Cab Franc. Short finish. If guessing blind, Cab Franc would be furthest from my mind. — 3 days ago

One of my favorites! 1hr+ decant. Dark red color. Prime drinking age. Absolutely insane nose of perfume, flowers, earth, and cow shit. Same on the palate with medium depth and finish. So unique and awesome! — 9 days ago

Happy Father’s Day! A nice local wine that is a sweeter version of a Gewurztraminer. Not bad. — 10 days ago

Great! 1hr decant but probably should have PnP’d as this tired quickly and is a little past prime drinking window. Started out at 97 and ended at 94. Dark red, maroon color with ample bricking. Nose has bramble, cedar, and licorice. Massive depth which separates the $50+ Bordeaux’s from the same priced Napa wines. Lots of cherries and some Amarone and Port elements near the end. Medium finish. A fav of mine! Very consistent across vintages. — 4 days ago

Best Port out there in my mind! Darker and bolder than other vintages, but has the same characteristics as previous notes. — 10 days ago
