Unmistakably aged Chablis. Beeswax, blue cheese and honeysuckles breath out into a dance. Comes out fresher with air. Cheers Dickson! — 9 years ago
I'm intrigued by this. Norton & Lenoir, 12.8%, all cidery and VA. If THIS is possible in TX then there might be hope. — 11 years ago

Still alive and kickin. This was truly special. Slight amount of VA (as with most of Lewis' wines) but it works well here. Crunchy red fruits, rose petals, tar and garrigue. Acidity and minerality are spot on. — 8 years ago

Earthy natural wine but pricey. $60 direct from winery — 5 years ago
Like most of Dickson's wines, there's a little bit of VA (and it tends to become more pronounced the longer the wine sits open). However, other than the slight VA this was a real joy to drink. Totally unique and happy that someone is making wines of this caliber in Texas. — 9 years ago
Oh my f"n dog. This wine kicks ass!!! Juicy, gutsy, totes satisfying, but refined, not huge -- extremely well balanced, and... whatever Robert Parker said. Surprise: 80% merlot, just 20% cab. Can't imagine a better wine for the great grilled Dickson Market burgers we #served it with. — 11 years ago

This is a very exotic “White Field Blend” of Galician varietals: 35% Godello, 35% Loureiro and 30% Treixadura sourced from the Sierra Pelona Valley (near Los Angeles), CA. It is another unique master piece from Jasper Dickson, a proprietor/winemaker of Angelino Wine Co. who is part of the rediscovering White Field Blends in the California while developing naturally made wines with minimal intervention.
All varietals were picked at 21 Brix and whole cluster pressed the grapes, and were co-fermented in stainless steel tanks. The result is a very rare, complex, dry and refreshing wine with an array of aromas of orange and acacia blossom.
On the palate is very crisp, with solid citrus characters and some stony fruit and yellow opal apple. As for mouthfeel, the wine has lots texture, sediments with a moderate-to-long finish. It can be an acquired taste as well.
Every vintage of the White Field Blend is completely different, the V.2021 the came out very aromatic, and some fresh wild grass and the wine as finished product is very hazy! It can be paired with seafood, apéritifs and lighter dishes. Clams steamed, Vietnamese summer rolls with prawns would a nice pairing option as well.
Also heartier as lightly-flavored cuisine can be another pairing alternative. Cheers! — 23 days ago
