Looked at Lyles, Matthew’s and Josh’s notes written in 2020. Needs a ton of air - about 2 hours to mellow out. Strong perfumed nose. In the glass cranberry, moss and what i call E&M black forest herbs, velvety, touch capsaicin, hint orange juice. Quite tannic. Fantastic fruit components develop over time! First cherries notes next are black currants and elderberry tones. What a trip!. NEEDS 2 hours of air. Drink now with a heavy decant and air? Yes 🙌. It is in a perfect spot despite the tannins. What a wine!!! I will drink this vintage up over the course of 24/25. — 3 months ago

Yet one more vintage of one of my go to Yolo County wine. Color is pretty. Dark red with a hint of rust on the edge of the wine. Smells like books, wet gravel and pomegranate molasses. (& maybe blackstrap molasses too). Flavors of chalk, elderberry/cherry syrup, unlit cigar, and herbs. Something slightly musky here. More of the French than the low cost Argentine style in this. This is a unique and lovely CA wine. All French wine lovers should try it. — 2 years ago

Classic, pretty Spanish label of abstract art evoking greens and blues of the ocean. Great garnet red color. Smells like mineral water, painter’s tape, rosewood and smoked pork products. Flavors of rosewater & cherries in a rich cheesecake. Or maybe a bit of Red Zinger and rosehip tea with a bit of red grape juice in it. Very floral with elderberry jelly, raspberry sorbet and flower essences all in the mix. For a screw-top cheapie at Grocery Outlet, this is excellent, graceful garnacha. — 5 months ago

Haven’t had limerick lane for 15 years. So well balanced. Nose is spices, herbs, dark berries. Palate is very nice with cherry, elderberry, spices, cocoa, cedar. Great zin. Better after 90 minutes of air. — a year ago

Yowee this is a vigorous wine! Color is pretty saturated and youthful. Nose she’s intensely zingy dark berry (elderberry and black raspberry), animal notes and decomposing granite like a northern Rhone Syrah. Wild. in the mouth it’s joltingly electric with acidity, but that is balanced by concentrated ripe dark berry fruit. There’s also deep minerality and a note of new baseball glove leather. The tannins are present but we’ll managed. Finish is long and lip-smacking. Really good and really unique. — 2 years ago

2003 vintage. Cedar and cinnamon lead into coffee rye and toasted black sesame, baked blackberry and plums, baked black currant and elderberry. Tertiary leather and pipe tobacco, with a jammy cassis to licorice finality. Silky smooth palate exhibits dark berries and a touch of smoke and graphite swirling around charred oak and cinnamon.

Great Thanksgiving wine! Dried cherries, rose petal, gum Arabic, cedar-Saigon cinnamon-oak, elderberry, currant, nutmeg, blueberries. Black pepper on entry softens to black and red cherry with lavender and violet. A touch of cherrywood a smaller touch of applewood, a minute touch of hickory and a nano shaving of mesquite. Laden with inlay. Sour blackberry finish speckled with lingonberries and myrrh.

Thus far, my favourite from this fine Scottish brewery. Amazed with how many good beer/ale brewers there are in the UK.

Chocolate, coffee and berry notes.

Berry flavour is present but not overwhelming.
