One of the top three pilsners I've come across in San Diego County craftland...the other two being Modern Times Ice and Pure Project Rain. Delicious, crushable and with a parting crispiness on the finish. 16oz can. — 3 years ago

Absolutely one of the best older vintage Pinot Noirs I've ever had — 8 years ago

Big, bigger, biggest. Almost over the top ripeness from the Shiraz is kept in check by the roussanne floral aromatics and acidity. Really enjoyed this although a little goes a long way. — 9 years ago

The 2015, the other half of the night's comparison. Less subtle, more floral. Jasmine, rose petal, honey. All powerful, but all a bit separate and distinct. I think this could lie down for a good while. Will be pleased to try another bottle in a few years. — 7 years ago

This caused a Keanu Reeves "Whoa." moment on first taste. Orange blossom, sour orange peel, vanilla bean, high acid. — 8 years ago

Day 1: Peppercorn, olive, and forest floor drove the wine. Plenty of spice on the palate and mod acid/no oak/agreeable tannin made for an excellent partner to winter squash and chicken vindaloo. Fruit almost brambly, just ripe across the bored. Day 2: fading quick, showed marked oxidation over night, lost a lot of hillside syrah character for more fruit, beginning to move towards compote. Juicy and still appealing, but makes me wonder about future evolution of the wine. Anyway, I’m always stoked to have these soulful wines and find their Syrah project to capture a more St. Joseph style, delicious, aromatic, and approachable early. Happy we didn’t cellar this any longer — 6 years ago

Unusual for Abe not to have notes for a wine on his site, but this one has always been blank. I assumed from the name that it was a potpourri of Sacramento River Delta wines and that proved to be correct. A retail site notes that this is a cofermentation of Albariño, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Grigio and Verdelho from the Lost Slough Vineyard, then blended with 14% Whole cluster Riesling. Complex nose with a little funk, and acid for days. Interesting wine. — 8 years ago

2014 vintage. Tasting great. Rich yet restrained. Lots of exotic fruit and spice — 9 years ago
