This is so freaking good! Grenache white pepper, dark fruits, spices galore, some forest, a touch of meat, but so fresh despite 6 years. This reminds me of pax hillsides with a bit less tapenade. I feel like this wine, tribute to grace, Jolie laude, and pax are the best representations of Grenache in USA — a month ago

Wine of the night. People list their minds on this wine, and these are people that typically drink prisoner and concannon. So much earth and tannin but balanced by fruit and flower. The nose is crazy. If I had this entire bottle to myself it may be 1 million points. — 7 months ago

Interesting. Tastes very similar to pineau d’aunis I had the other day. Bright fruits, strawberry, raspberry, smoked cherries, earth, game. Really nice. Probably not worth the price. — a year ago

Tough to rate. Nose has some chemicals. But, palate is that great west coast Pinot noir. Some chalky minerality and loads of fruit, primarily cherry. Quite a bit of acidic zip. — 3 months ago

Second wine from this producer and love it! This reminds me of my first few broc, donkey&goat, and hiyu wines. Made me think about what was possible in wine. By far one of the best orange wines I’ve had. This one is more jasmine tea and flowers everywhere. There’s some raspberry, sea salt, nectarine, more flowers, amazingly fresh and vibrant. God this is good and so drinkable. — 2 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is atavus VII (7). If I tasted this blind I would say Austria or Slovenia or Georgia etc. wine for sure. Jasmine tea, jasmine flowers, lemon, comforting herbs, grapefruit, really fancy sea salt, so many flowers! Top us orange wine. — 3 months ago

"Clochan" comes from a single vineyard planted to a field blend of Mencia, Graciano, Carignane, Grenache and Nero d'Avola. Bass notes of game, leather and damp earth support a core of sweet cherry fruit” — 4 months ago

Never had a Riesling like this. Flint and flowers on nose. Lemons too. Smoked pork, lemons, some wood notes, limes, bacon, cream, white flowers, stone, a hint of bbq pineapple, and more citrus. I’m not sure if the smoke from 2020 lead to these flavors but it is wild!!! I don’t need any more of this but glad I tried it. — a year ago
