Had a ruby color. Smelled like red berries and tasted like cherry or blackberry. — a day ago

Clear, medium ruby in color; on the nose, it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of cherries, tabacco, and dried blueberries; on the palate, it's dry with medium acidity, high tannins, medium body, high alcohol, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of dried cherries, wet gravel, and cedar with a long finish. This wine is balanced and complex. Overall, is rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it too. Actually paired well with Chinese food. — 4 days ago

A well made wine with plenty of time still. GSM’s just don’t do anything for me at the moment. — 2 months ago

9.2

Punchy crowpleaser: heavy, almost syrupy body with strong, bold flavors of oaky vanilla, ripe black cherry, and cinnamon spice. Smooth and round mouthfeel. Not terribly complex but a joy to drink. — a month ago

Taste like the Sierra Foothills smell. Had a sustained maturity… not over mature… just seemed the way it was meant to be. — a month ago

9.2

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Best on Day 2. The 2023 Amador County pours a bright, deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart orchard fruit: peach, lemon, tangerine, white flowers, lanolin, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is waxy. Obviously young but I can’t help but feel that these Chenin’s from Tegan just keep getting better and better. Drink now through 2039. — 2 months ago
