Apple and pear on the nose and pallet also very minerally with a lil butter but not overdone as I hate butter bombs but a quality chardonnay here very drinkable — 4 months ago
Mid lemon in colour - crystal clear. A funky leesy note amongst the grapefruit with a touch of honey. A powerful palate of great intensity. Flavours in the grapefruit spectrum Partial malo adds interest. Great balance between restraint and mouth filling flavours. Plenty of skilled winemaking on show here. — 4 years ago

Wow. Kind of shocked but maybe I shouldn’t be. Gabilan mountains east of Monterey. Rich but very much not ‘fruit forward California’. It’s all mineral length. Dark fruit. Medium body. Majority mourvedre. If you told me this was from Sicily I’d believe you. — 5 months ago

Rich juice squeezed from the Royal Slope in Columbia Basin. A sweet edge upfront turned into an earthy, mineral plethora of flavors with very soft tannins fully integrated. Pleasant finish. I had to score it high because it vanished pretty much by it selves. Nice start to the Easter weekend that concluded a week with a kick in the rear from my second Covid shot that took a few days to shake off. — 3 years ago
Beautiful Rhône style blend. Medium purple color. Aromas of cherry, blackberry, smoke and dried herbs. Mulberry, floral with red fruit flavors on the palate. Paired nicely wit homemade Detroit style pizza.
