2018. Great hazy, apple cidery, pet-nat Riesling. — 7 years ago
Lychee, blood orange, candies citrus, almonds, candle wax, carnations. Rounded acidity, juicy texture, medium bodied, grapefruit rind-tart citrus, salty finish. Interesting oddity, might be the ultimate brunch wine. This rating is for the Riesling NOT Vermentino. — 9 years ago
Deep and brooding for a Pinot, brightness comes in finish. Cherry pit. Pairs perfectly with duck. — 10 years ago
Chad Stock dazzles again with a genuine orange Grüner Veltliner made with skin contact in amphora. Redolent with satsuma peel & electric kool-aid acidity, this wine is meant for adventurous food, fun people, and open minds. Named for Andrew Beckham, who builds large amphora or kvevri, and a fine winemaker in his own wright. Orange is the new orange!! — 11 years ago
2014. Giving this a 9.3 in context of its variety/region. Exceptional finesse on the nose and palate. 13.2% abv. The highlight of recent Willamette trip. Dijon 115. — 10 years ago

Applegate Valley Tempranillo fermented on the skins of sauv blanc and gruner in order to retain color. Incredible stuff. A wholly different view of the grape. — 13 years ago
Very different in a good way. Reddish orange color. Slightly cloudy. Very sharp nose of tart red fruit...lychee nut ??? cannot pin it down. Taste is clean, bright, slight tannic finish. — 4 years ago
Wow! Pinot Noir fermented in amphora, inspired by Elisabetta Foradori. Earthy, mineral, a little smoky. — 5 years ago
Pale yellow white in color. Floral, citrus notes in nose. Crisp minerality, a touch of spritz, citrus, vanilla and slight peach flavor, creamy lemon and lime peel finish and aftertaste, some skin astringency on center of tongue, no real bitterness. Decent food wine, good varietal character — 8 years ago
Minton's Dinner. Lovely balance minerals. Beckham tastes marshmallow on the finish. — 10 years ago
This was a delight to drink on a warm Spring evening with crab cakes and roasted garlic & tomato bruschetta. A beautifully tinted Pinot noir rose. Thanks for sharing Sue & Stan Widger! — 10 years ago
