Last of the weekend Ovids and exactly what I was referring to in other posts. The Experiment reds are generally fantastic. Bold and rich and unique. @Matt Duncan these last two wines are what makes Ovid special. — 4 years ago
Quite the white wine blend! My last bottle as I have enjoyed crushing these during spring time the last few years. I’ve much preferred the 2019 experiment to the 2020 experiment (which is heavy Viognier and Albariño).
Roughly 25 SauvB/ 13 Grenache Blanc/ 12 roussanne/ 12 Viognier/ 11 Albariño/ 10 Vermentino/ 10 Marsanne/ 5 Picpoul Blanc
Aromatically, this comes across as SB and Viognier…it’s bright and semi-tropical (white peach, underripe guava) with honeysuckle and lemongrass. Wonderful texture channeling a spine of acidity with mineral/wet rock, some honeyed green apple crisps, and a sea-salted lemon finish. Oak doesn’t make much of an appearance. Profile wise, this falls in between your traditional Cali SBs and the newer “Super SauvBlanc” styles. Lovely. — 7 months ago
What a vintage on Pritchard Hill! This is THE go to in this zip code (way under The neighbors are Ovid & Colgin. I can’t believe this is 7 years from vintage - it’s still very young with lots of currant and blueberry with mocha. Tannins kick in in the mid palate and a lengthy finish. With a rack of lamb - proof God loves us! — 4 years ago
