Quite an evolved reddy-brown colour, fairly transparent. Slightly high in acidity with a slightly feral, mustiness. Old school, and slightly unclean? On the palate is rose, violet and orange peel. It’s not as pleasing as the Barbera from the same vintage. — 4 years ago
Beautiful transparent reddy purple. Lifted aromatics, mid-weight and nice soft acidity that beckons another sip. Tasty and good value. — 5 years ago
"The third iteration of the Montepulciano shows similar characteristics to our 2015 and 2016. On the nose you'll find cigar box and cherry. The palate is clean and velvety with notes of cooked fruit, vanilla and cherry cola." — 4 years ago

Smockshop Band is a side project from Nate Reddy and the Hiyu team intended to showcase all that Columbia Gorge has to offer. Unlike literally everything else from Hiyu, this is a terrific value. It’s a rustic mix of red fruits and perfumed acetone - plenty of VA but the far reaching aromatic type that registers deep like a perfume. Unfiltered, robust, tannic, and full of deep cherry, dried strawberry, and sour blackberry. — 5 years ago
Proper mature old world red. Bricked reddy brown colour, evolved well into secondary aromas of damp leaves and stewed fruits. Long length and an exotic and spicey element that marks it as different from claret. — 4 years ago
The weakest of the group yet still commands ones attention. — 4 years ago
