Crisp- citrus with some lemon honeysuckle. it’s oakey, but not too much. Getting my fill of white before it becomes too cold and need to dip in the reds! — 6 years ago
Not a bad drop. Owners wife recommended this one in substitution for my favorite Redman. Pretty good through the entire bottle and gets better as you go. Still miss the Redman though. Little bit dryer. Non acidic. No indigestion. No alcohol punch just a smooth Jesus Juice. — 10 years ago
I'm intrigued by this. Norton & Lenoir, 12.8%, all cidery and VA. If THIS is possible in TX then there might be hope. — 12 years ago

They might want to rename this bottling to, “Everything Including the Kitchen Sink”. It is a blend of mostly; Zinfandel 65%, Syrah, Petite Syrah. Tempranillo, Trousseau, Castets, Cabernet, Merlot, Alicante Bouschet, Grand Noir, Lenoir and more. 🤯
It’s aged in 25% new oak for 10 month and the rest in used oak.
It drinks like a Zinfandel that you might think has a couple other varieties, not that long list.
It is pleasant at pop & pour. But full disclosure, I don’t embrace much in the way of Zin’s. When I do it’s primarily Ridge’s blend.
This is juicy, red, purple & blue fruity fruits. Some dry top soil, some used leather, light pepper, moist clays, some herbaceous notes, dark chocolate to mousse, mid berry cola, lots of fresh, red, blue and purple flowers, pleasant, round acidity, a nicely balanced, lush, elegant, polished finish that lands on earthiness & wood powder.
It is not bad but at $54.95, there are Ridge’s I buy first for under this price point. — a year ago
Medium pink color. Smells like strawberries and pomegranates on the nose. Tastes like cranberries, strawberries, and raspberries. Intense, but balanced acidity with a long finish. Nellie likes it too! — 3 years ago

2010 Forte from The Vineyard at Florence in Texas. Made from 100% Lenoir (which is actually a native Texas grape that formed a natural hybrid with a Spanish grape), it’s full-bodied, rich & fruity. Very much like a pure Syrah with a touch of pepper & spice. Soft tannins & a smooth finish make it one of the best Texas wines I’ve ever had! Cheers🍷 — 6 years ago
Love this wine. Had with snapper device type dish at lenoir restaurant in austin. Crisp. Pear flavor. Light but not too light. Tom said this is a really food wine. 13 per glass 52 per bottle — 8 years ago

Old vines at pagani = lovely. "Densely dark and concentrated, ripe blueberry and dried cherry aromas, paired with muscular flavors of asian spice, black licorice and toasted sage. Huge tannins. Zin, mataro, lenoir, alicante, petite sirah. (WS)" — 11 years ago
