Beautiful new world Syrah with just enough restraint to make me love it. Juicy blueberries and dark chocolate with a bit of baking spice and vanilla. Good tannin and acidity. I could drink a lot of this? — a year ago

The 2014 Troon Blue Label Longue Carabine, Applegate Valley is an appealing, golden straw colored wine that offers a great white-wine nose of honeyed apricot, Meyer lemon and stones in a stream. The minerality of southern Oregon comes through strongly on the palate, and the acidity is positively bracing. There is a hint of the seashore in this wine, unusual since it grew near the mountains, not the coast. The finish is crisp and juicy. The grapes perfectly display the civilization of their heritage against the wildness of their home. — 8 years ago

Wonderful balance and superb finish. Minor acid encourages meandering a bit to enjoy the pleasantly dry finesse of a full mouth. First grapes in about a week, what a wonderful way to come back to civilization. — 9 years ago

Drinks more like a cocktail than a pet nat, with its heavier body and sparkling vermouth palate. Nose of a martini. But I like it! — 2 years ago

The current release is based off of the 2002/3/4 vintages. Amazing. Rich with a nice cut. A great way to lead a Krug drinker back to the ways of civilization. — 9 years ago

Thank you for being present then, to be my present now. Great Job!

Amazing 14 year old GSM from California. Cherry notes are surprisingly fresh and vibrant, well balanced (acid/tannin) delicious dark notes in the background (leather, chocolate, tannin). Fruity without being sweet. “With 0.4% residual sugar — not so much to make it even remotely sweet or turn it into a stereotype of a California fruit bomb, but enough to render it tender” - Wicker Parker - 11.01.2010 http://www.renaissancewinery.com/scripts/winepg.cfm/_/8/2006/Mediterranean-Red/
