A 20 year old Syrah from Idaho! Yes Idaho and scoring it a conservative 9.5! Amazing. Still super vibrant, deep dark cherry infused with mulberry spice and lifted with floral notes of violet, sage and jasmine. Incredible. From Hells Canyon, oldest winery in Idaho established in early 1980’s on the banks of the mighty Snake River. — a year ago

20€ at producer. Round, bookshelf/old book smell, very strong personality, rarely have come across a such atypical wine. Forest smells and incredible taste: intense prune, animal/beastly. Drink with wild boar, deer
Natural bio wine. — 7 years ago

Floral and gamey. The 14.2% alc. shows early. Beautiful color and concentration. Improves with air time and also gets more peppery. Identical to a baby deer trying to walk, ya know? — 8 years ago

9.3

2023 vintage. Tasted with the owner/winemaker. Lighter medium body. Sampled via Coravin. Appropriate oak with plenty of zippy rhubarb, clove and spice festivities throughout. If blind, would have guessed Oregon. Three whole barrels made...then...75 cases or so. Not exactly on every street corner. Preferred the 2021 version (9.4) slightly but this was plenty substantial. Picked up a case. 12.04.24. — 2 years ago

Somewhat muted nose full of baking spices. Beautiful flavors of cranberry, ginger, milling spices, and forest floor that just goes on and on. — 5 years ago

Needs a good hour of decanting. Anderson Valley PN’s are not necessarily something I’d pour for a crowd of people. IMHO — 6 years ago

The bottling is actually the Fuyu Persimmon. The color of the beer is absolutely beautiful a golden orange. The beer is full of flavor and smooth as can be. I wish I had another bottle. — 5 years ago

A hot tub and a cool wine...pop and pour. A wondrous inky ruby red. On the nose: blue fruit, plum, wet leaves, dried herbs. Taste: blueberry, spice, minerals....a rich mouthfeel leading to a black cherry vanilla medium finish with some slightly grippy tannins. — 6 years ago
