the acidity is the star. leans citrus, nothing green here. the barrel is maybe too tempered to call it super interesting, but nothing about this bottle is off putting. — 9 years ago

literally like walking around a garden. violets, roses, lavender... fresh rich soil, green herbs. dark black cherry in the palate. — 9 years ago

zesty lemon, grapefruit pith and a little underripe red plum on (an appropriate venue for) brett. nice and sour - I'm in heaven! — 10 years ago

decent fruit. no midpalate, little tannic structure, short finish. — 10 years ago

admittedly a #retrorating here. I think I picked up a handful of these a couple years ago in the hook & ladder tasting room (I think they're family friends) for next to nothing. for the price, a nice easy drinker. I had it with a blueberry compote cheeseburger and remember being pretty pleased with myself. — 9 years ago

I paired this with procrastinating from work in the form of a gelatinous blob on a deck chair in the yard on a particularly warm day. definitely hit the spot. soft, summery fruit. a hint of autolysis. don't even think about it.. just drink it. — 10 years ago

I dunno... I guess appreciate that it's not heavy handed, but it seemed like it was almost all free run juice. fleeting, not grounded. totally drinkable though. l — 10 years ago

affy tapple nose, white peach and citrus on the palate. doesn't knock my socks off, but I'd lay out by the pool and drink this through a straw and call it a pretty good tuesday. — 9 years ago

plump and juicy! candy apple nose, ripe juicy plum... amazing that the fruit is so prevalent. this has kept better than more recent vintages. — 9 years ago

killer acidity. raspberry, plum and game over baking spices and white pepper. complex, and worthy of your attention. — 10 years ago
