Great fruit, a good amount of oak. Would like to see how things integrate in a few years, but still tasty nonetheless. — 6 years ago

Grapefruit and stone fruit with mineral and wet stone on the nose. Some stone fruit coming through in the flavor. Good. Nice finish. Not much as far as citrus flavors are concerned. Quaint. — 7 years ago

Perhaps, our favorite non Burgundy white. It is unique among whites.

Also, one of the best afternoons we’ve enjoyed. Appointments at Clos Mogador & Erasmus. Then, lunch looking back at both properties from Amcis. A great meal we would give two Michelin stars. This wine and a custom four course for two for only 70 Euros in 2015. Fantastic restaurant. A must do in Priorat.

The nose reveals; ripe & slightly sour pineapple, lemon chiffon, mix of well extracted stone fruits, notes of lime candy, banana peel, slight burnt brown sugar, blend of chalky minerals, volcanics, chamomile, vanilla bean notes, well cooked toast, sandy dry top soil, fennel (grows everywhere), tree bark with sap, mix of dark & white spice w/ white dominate and a fields of spring flowers.

The body is full & round with good viscosity. slightly sour pineapple, lemon chiffon, mix of well extracted stone fruits, golden apple to cider, tropical melons, kiwi, notes of lime candy, banana peel, fringes of marmalade, slight sugar in the raw, blend of white, chalky minerals, mint, volcanics, crushed dry sandstone, saline, chamomile, vanilla bean notes, well cooked toast, dry herbs, sandy dry top soil, fennel (grows everywhere), tree bark with sap, mix of dark & white spice w/ white dominate and a fields of perfume spring flowers with mixed greens. The acidity is round and rushes like a river. The long, rich, well knitted & balanced, polished & elegant finish goes on & on ending persistently w/ sweet white spice.

The 2017 is different than the earlier vintages we’ve had. It needs another two years in bottle. If you drink now, fully chill and decant 2 hours.

A really pleasant Zin. Beautiful ruby color. Fruit forward, like a fruit roll-up fresh out of the plastic. The palette is delightful, fruity, smoky, and spiced. — 6 years ago

85% Rubired (Rubired is a hybrid grape developed at UC-Davis in the 1950s. The variety is a crossing of Tinto Cao (a Portuguese native variety) and Alicante Ganzin) and 15% Petite Syrah- dark, ink almost black color, plums mildly over powered by alcohol, mellow smooth flavor. Pretty awesome wine. — 7 years ago

☄️ Yup, nice. Not your typical Aussie Shiraz. Big nose, but drinks like a cooler PN. Blackberry bush and creek bed. — 7 years ago

Cheers to Scott Barber for opening his home and sharing some great wines. This '91 killed it. Not much else is better than aged mountain fruit! Could still get a decent amount of dark fruits, and the tannins were but a whisper. Super smooth & still had good life at 25 years old. — 8 years ago
