I’ll have to look at my prior notes of this wine, but this strikes me as far more acid-driven than the last bottle I had. Nose show red fruits, crushed rock, and smellable acidity. Lean, crisp, but intense. Like a real hybrid of Walla Walla and a Northern Rhone from an older days cooler vintage. It’s got good length and mouthwatering acids. A Syrah- based wine to have with some meat dish in a sauce, as opposed to a simple grilled or roasted meat. — 2 months ago

Superb nose with waxy pear and gala apple fruit that is accented by a hint of honey. The wine has dynamite texture with richness that is checked by bright acidity. Finishes with pear and orange peel fruit tones with real length. — 5 years ago

Needs to warm up from cellar temp. When it does, I get big smoky blackberry, black olive, and a touch of barnyard to add interest. I only got a taste the last time Nina opened one of these. Big thanks to Nina for a bottle of my own. — 6 years ago

75/20/5 MGS blend. Purple-red, moderately extracted pigment, very good clarity. Black currant, strawberry, menthol and funk notes in nose. Cherry skin with strawberry jam and raspberry jam flavors, saline minerality and seed tannin finish with cranberry, black olive and menthol flavors, moderate skin astringency in aftertaste. Needs time to open. This is something special, worth savoring over several hours — 2 years ago

Wow. Lots of fruit still on this vintage. Very impressive. I would drink soon if you still have it. — 6 years ago

Nicely structured and balanced and a lot lighter than most Syrahs. Nonetheless, I like it for what it is. — 6 years ago

Buty was delicious. It has aged well and grape blend is one complex wine. I will buy again — a year ago

Rockgarden Estate, 68/32 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre. Salmon pink with an orange tinge. Strawberry note in nose, raspberry flavor that fades followed by a slight green melon (honeydew) and strawberry flavor with length, moderate skin astringency with a mineral finish. More savory and structured than many will be used to. For me, though, this is a special, very dry and not-fruit-forward rosé (though that subtle strawberry and honeydew flavor lingers). Good fermentation character without super high acidity, and delicious. — 2 years ago

This is yummy wine! Could be from Aussie land if I didn't know better. — 6 years ago
