Bone dry, granny smith apple, lemon verbena, lime zest, back-end bready, toastiness. So delicious and unexpected @Patrick Emerson your Instagram is making these folks some 💲💲 — 7 years ago
Seemed a little thin and lifeless at first, but improved with time. The bottle was overfilled and some wine had come through the cork. Don't know if that affected things. — 8 years ago

The Oregon Pinot Gris has been the surprise upside wine since our trip. The fruit on this wine is subtle - lemon curd, underripe apple, pear - but the minerality is an outstanding wet rock complexity that makes every sip of this wine very interesting. — 8 years ago

Beautiful label ‘Adopt the pace of nature; Her secret is Patience’ ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mother Nature is intriguing and elusive, reigning with grace and beauty. There is no doubt that she is the one True Myth. We respect her for the enigma that she is and honour her with a beautiful Cab Sav - smooth wine loaded with blackberry & cherry, touch of caramel.
Enjoyable, love the label - intrigued me to try and so glad I did! — 4 years ago
Gun Bun does it again. Always shocked with how great their wines are for the money. Wines I believe are still being made by Keith Emerson. Cakebread, Martin Ray alum and cohort of Phillipe Melka. With how long these wines have been around, I still consider them an insider’s find. Under $20 a bottle. — 6 years ago

Bright, dark ruby. Very dark, primary, restrained aromas of inky cassis, tar (from the Petit Verdot?), cocoa powder, crushed stone and scorched earth. At once fleshy and powerful, showing strong primary fruit for the vintage along with mineral and bitter chocolate notes. As dense and youthfully imploded as it is, this opulent Cabernet benefits from harmonious acidity and its firm, building tannins are not at all dry or hard. Finishes with outstanding thickness and length. This, too, will need time to reveal itself and is likely to be long-lived. Emerson described 2010 as "a big, structured, later-ripening year."
