Really likes this blend when we tasted it at the vineyard. Was a killer deal when we bought a bottle to drink with the amazing wood fired pizza they were serving on the weekends last summer. Got a nice funk to the nose, still lots of nice fruit for the vintage. Lovely for the price. — 5 years ago

Dineen Vineyard, Rattlesnake Hills. This is a lighter style of Malbec fermented with native yeast, whole clusters. 11.2% alc/vol. Purple, moderately extracted pigment, very good clarity. Butter, tobacco and red fruit aromas initially. Raspberry and black currant flavors with length and a bit of cherry, moderate seed bitterness and skin astringency. Needs time to open. Acidity is light, almost rounded mouthfeel, fruit with length, but you need to give those tannins about 30 minutes minimum to dampen down. The carbonic maceration character comes out after 45 minutes, creating a mild Kool-Aid effect on some of the fruit flavors. (The effect is much nicer and more natural, of course, than those artificial flavors in Kool-Aid). A nice red for any occasion except a steak, in which case go for a full power Malbec. — 5 years ago
Aka Côt. Fruitful flavor. I drink more white than red, so I enjoyed the lighter style of this red — 7 years ago
David's Folly because the winemaker and his friends call each other David. His name is Tim. His friends have other names. Odd.
Cab and CF. Lovely rounded and high toned. Challenging being at a custom crush. Exciting future especially when they get their own space. #wbc18 — 6 years ago
