A seriously delicious experiment in fermentation. Fresh, funky, kaleidoscopic red fruit and honey aromas are deftly balanced by a streak of lactic/citric acidity in the mouth, perfumed with rose hips and enlivened by delicate tannins. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. — 5 years ago

I would invite you to find a bottle like this older & well stored 03, “The Sisters. “I would enjoy tasting this blind w/ Napa Cult wines & lovers. Then, watch their eyes open wide when I pulled off the brown bag. Many would call Colgin, Scarecrow, Harlan, Bond & the like etc.. I recently paid $50 for this 2003 at auction. That includes tax & auction fees. For vintage, they would call 10, 13 or 14. This is still youthful. Beautiful M+ somewhat rounded tannins, fruit buffet w/ dark pronounced spice. This has ten years plus left.
The palate is round, plush, phat fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, plum, dark cherries, strawberries, purple fruits with blueberries. Dark, well pronounced spice, soft baking spices, sweet graphite, soft, fresh, tobacco notes, used leather warm, gray clay, river-stone, mocha, caramel notes, dry crushed rock, limestone marl, some dry top soil, dark, purple red fresh & withering florals, excellent, round acidity and a well made, balanced, beautifully structured and elegant finish that lasts minutes falling on elegant earth & spice.

What fun fine at whole foods - 18$ for a mature, oak/ML Italian chard. Wifey loved it...and I loved WF’s rapid chiller (fair lakes location) which allows for the immediate use of a shelf selected white/sparkler. — 5 years ago
