Excellent Pinot Blanc with nice lees aging richness and complexity. Prime drinking at 3+ years of age and versatile at the table too. — 17 days ago

24 years old. The brand is gone but the vineyard must be producing still for someone. With aeration it opens complexly to red forest berries, cedar pencil, iron. If you like well-aged right bank Bordeaux, chances are you’d like this. — 2 months ago

Clean, fresh at nearly 5 years. Reductive and a little spritzy in a good way. Resembles a top German Müller-Thurgau. — 2 months ago

34 years old. The brand is gone but I presume the vineyard is still producing for someone. With an hour of aeration it opens complexly to red forest berries, cedar pencil, iron. If you like well-aged right bank Bordeaux chances are you’d like this. — 2 months ago

9.2

I don’t have a reference point for Refosco but I do for nice, tasty wine, and this one delivers on that count. Blackberries, violets, and subtle iron-iodine notes that many Northeast reds often exhibit. Medium-bodied, moderate tannins, bright and fresh. — 2 months ago

9.1

30-year-old Washington Lemberger (aka Blaufrankisch). Shockingly youthful color shows barely a hint of age with amazingly fresh aromas and palate. Blueberries and ripe plums. Red Mountain minerality brings a degree of subtle complexity with aeration. — 2 months ago

Over delivers for a $15 btl. Nice, clean, dry, fresh, white blend. Not unlike a modern well made Viognier. — 2 months ago
