Smells like blackberry, dried cranberry (that one courtesy of my wife), and milk chocolate. Clearly good quality. Some slight baking spice. And dill? Tastes good! Less blackberry than the nose, a little more cherry and drier than expected. Still some slight dill. Silky. Like it! Killer deal for the $10 I paid (close out) - would be fine at $20. — 3 years ago

Lady winemakers during the “Formation” themed month at a Maxwell!! 👯‍♀️💕 Apparently the soil on this vineyard is so sulfuric that it’s lime green. Wild! Crisp and acid but still round and well balanced — 6 years ago

Well shit. Wildly expressive nose of tea, kirsch, saddle, fennel and sage. Started off too cold but with temperature increase opened up to a beautiful, elegant style CDP with cherry, blackberry, and all sorts of rustic garrigueness. A smoky, blue fruit finish. Tannins and acidity and alcohol all in perfect formation. Just awesome — 7 years ago

Pineapple-grapefruit look blasts a big-bubbled white puff with even stacking. Igneous lacing formation churns into Pahoihoi. Grapefruit and pineapple match the drapes, with the pineapple turning jell-o with cream topping. Papaya and mango make the rounds, ripely. Clean palate of zesty lemon wrapped around just ripe mango, and a tangerine thing that rounds it to mango texture. Minerally pineapple suggests a weightless and steely finish, but the lime drops the dime to call it home. Good rotation back to white raspberry! #newbelgium #newbelgiumbrewing #voidooranger #ipa #indiapaleale #newbelgiumvoodoorangernineteeneightyfiveipa #voodoorangernineteeneightyfive #newbelgium1985 #1985ipa #beer #bier #biere #birra #rotatingseriesbeer — 4 years ago

FORMATION THEME - LADY WINEMAKERS! I want to say “backyard crushable rosé” but that doesn’t do it any justice. — 6 years ago

Showing beautifully! From Beamsville Bench not too far from my hometown of Detroit. A wondrous geological formation and exceptional terroir for riesling. Minerals, lemon, fennel crunch. — 6 years ago

Heymann Löwenstein Uhlen Laubach 2017 is a remarkable wine, especially with its modest price. A pronounced, gunpowder/ Crushed stone minerality embedded in a perfectly ripe and nuanced fruit profile. Wonderful presence on the palate with a cut through acidic spine in an athletic surrounding that is marching across the palate in a legion like formation over the finish line. Despite being youthful with a long life ahead its already offers so much pleasure already. — 5 years ago

On reconnaît l'expertise de Thelmo Rodriguez. Sa formation dans le bordelais est perceptible. Note de fruits mûrs. Bel équilibre. Tout ce que l'on veut d'un vin. 2004. — 6 years ago

Arcus fruit comes from a notable vineyard due to its formation and hill location. The nose is more opulent and shows depth. Palette displays maraschino cherries, brown sugar and a whiff of tobacco. Perfect tannin/acid balance - no food required. All of these wines will cellar well. — 6 years ago
