Fantastic aromatics of Meyer Lemon, hint pineapple sage, mandarine zest and touch of Elderberry. Salty, plenty of minerals, touch tart. This is just so much fun to drink. — 17 hours ago

Wild stuff, see previous note for 06. This is 2012 and had some add’l notes of rose petal & lavender. Really unusual but interesting much more polished. Lots of fresh boysenberry, elderberry and brambly fruit. Sweet inner core. — 2 months ago

This precocious rojado franc evokes memories of vintners of yore. It begins capriciously with marbled flavor facets. Later, it follows with oodles of black currant and elderberry. Finally, it mellows like a dachshund after a morning run and a bowl of breakfast. You will not be disappointed by this Lagarde production. Blessings to all. — 4 months ago

Trying it again. Different vintage. Cool tree on the label. Nice red wine color. Pretty in the glass. Smells like cut wood and rocks. Not fruit. Made a bit of incense too. Flavors are dry and dense. Herbal. Streak of berries. Like blackberry sauce in ice cream. Plenty of ink or elderberry stuff too. This is quite the difference from the Arg Malbec style. A hint of that coyote brush in the sun thing that I associate with southern France. Certainly a go to Malbec for my Malbec hater-ass. — a month ago

13.5%. 35% whole cluster. Very Burgundian in style. Herbaceous from the clusters, hint white pepper, very earthy, bark, big time elderberry, touch black cherry, dried black currants, quite tannic. Coiled. Needs to integrate. Very nicely done probably a benchmark Pinot for Oregon in 3-4 years. Highly recommended if you are getting out of Burghs. Congrats Lyle. — 3 months ago

2020 is so fresh. Great nose, tart cherries, elderberry, stones, some greenery, just a touch of tart strawberry jam. Outstanding. This is what I remember 15 dollar Beaujolais tasting like 10+ years ago. — 4 months ago

Typical nose of pineapple and petrol and some white flowers (elderberry). The palate is very long and acid driven with some yellow fruit notes and a delicate tanginess in the end. The finish is very long with the same notes and a tiny touch of spices. I had it along some home made egg fried rice with an extra dose of chili and the pairing was great! — a month ago

Big - lots of whole cluster - quite fruit driven. Just 24 cases made. 13%. This will need so much more time for the fruit to mellow out. Made in honor of Grahams daughter birthday. I hope she enjoys it once she is 16 ahem. I mean 21. Quite herbaceous now. Cardamom, elderberry, celery. Not necessarily my style but this could be quite nice in years to come - made to age! — 3 months ago

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.
