Great QPR on this bottling @Somm David T gave me the 411 on these a few vintages back
Bologna and sweet tarts. It’s got zest, some funk, meaty smell with some initial barn farts, but really smooths out. It’s the best adult meal—preserved meat and corner store candy. — 4 years ago

I love this wine.
Tart and funky, a little sour but also mellow. — 6 years ago
This is a beautiful Carménère, all earthy and full of savory minerality. The blackberry and black plum aromas creep through the smell of that dirt with tar, forest floor and tobacco all over them. A hint of vanilla sweetens the sniff a bit. On the palate, the dark fruit is draped in sweet oak spice, and you’ll find a bucketful of tannins until the glass has been sitting for awhile. This is a steak wine, intended for a big, juicy piece of beef. — 6 years ago
Great acid profile. Not too tanic But some good dryness — 4 months ago

Love the Hyland Vineyard & Coury Clone. — 2 years ago
Dark cherry and spice nose. More dark cherry on the palate with cola, plum, cooked strawberry, cinnamon, clove, oak, with a hint of cocoa. Medium plus alcohol, medium minus tannins, and high alcohol. — 4 years ago

2021. east to drink. Delicious — 4 years ago
I hate to say it, but this stuff really is a higher class of vodka. No off, medicinal notes. No cloying artificial sweetness. It just tastes like the cleanest, purest spring water was made magically alcoholic. — 4 years ago
Beautiful expression of the terroir and grape—so alive. Great acidity. Cherry and strawberry primarily. Medium-plus tannins. Chalky earthiness married to faint but heavy flowers—violet and hibiscus. The faintest whiff of cedar and tobacco hits as one drops the glass. — 5 years ago
A sweet and fruity start that leaves little bitterness. A semi-spicy finish. Cherries and peppercorn. — 6 years ago
Fresh and lemony, with a crushed stone mineral weight. Really liked it, but there was a certain flatness that prevents me from wholeheartedly recommending it. But will absolutely buy again. — 6 years ago
