Medium yellow gold. Bracing, orange fruited, orange blossom, hint of pithy grapefruit, snappy nasturtium/peppery undertone. I feel the new world weight and breadth on the palate compared to the next wine.... — 6 years ago

Love the Focchini. A raw wine but should develop nicely. Beautiful plum aromas and tons of minerality. Big tannins on the finish. — 13 years ago

Just decanted 15 minutes ago to separate the sediment, the color looks like it’s starting to mature. Nose is a quarry-full of cracked stone and some whole black peppercorn. A little dry garrigue note. Savory in the mouth. It’s got nice acidity and still some tannin to shed. If you really concentrate, there’s a little dark mountain berry fruit, but this is really all about everything BUT fruit.

UPDATE: Night 2, after 24 hours under vacuum closure, the palate is a little broader and shows a bit more fruit. Upping score from 8.9 to 9.0z — 4 months ago

Holding up very nicely. Could probably use a bit of decanting to open up with next bottle. Bold rich flavor and lots of pepper on the back end. — 6 years ago

Spicy nose, wood and dark fruit. As this airs, the funk appears.Mid weight, mouth filling, leaning towards the savory side. Interesting, mineral aftertaste. More Rhone than U.S. A middle road. No heaviness, hides it’s 14.6° quite well. Herbs, soil, and an acidic kick on the finish. Leaves the palate wanting more. Deliciousness.
Curious to see if day 2 brings out more weight.

This has California written all over the nose, sweet sourdough bread yeast.

Some sharp berry lies down the walkway for some other cool fruits to come a Prancin’- Bing cherry, mulberry, mint, raspberry licorice, and a highly vibrant kumquat acid that really shocks and awes.
Can u dig it?
Yes I can.

-edit- After some open air, this really shows a vegetal tone, like a shishito pepper stalk.. — 7 years ago

Great Pinot. Round but with an acid backbone. IPOB would approve. — 12 years ago
