2012. Last bottle fireworks for Independence holiday in Gualala, CA. View matched the wine. Also a Non-vintage Rubis Rose champagne from Vilmart & Cie! Yum! Thankfully a quiet celbration as our Standard Poodle Hendrix is noise sensitive. — 19 days ago

Deep yellow in color with a golden hue.

The nose is so interesting with lots of unique flavors. Oak, vanilla, nuts, citrus, honey and spices.

Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with yellow apples, citrus, lemons, apricots, minerals, honeysuckle, oak, herbs, vanilla, flowers, spices, earth, white pepper and light vegetables.

Long finish with limes and almonds.

This is a beautiful 11-year-old White blend from California. Showing a soft mouth feel with nice complexity and good balance.

Drinking so nicely right out of the bottle at this point. Elegant and soft. Rich and fruity. Opulent, spicy and interesting.

A great sipping wine, really tasty and just a gorgeous wine.

This is one of the sexiest thing you can ever taste in your glass.
So fresh and young. The alcohol and the concentration are super integrated, making it so drinkable and extremely pleasant. Would love@to try this in 20+ year from now. — 3 months ago

2002. Wow. Beautiful and elegant. Only 10% abv according to the label but I’d guess higher. Petrol, honey, Corn Pops cereal, dill, mandarin oranges, golden raisin. This is amazing. — 8 months ago

2014 vintage. Last tasted 4.26.23. Decanted both times. Deep, thoughtful nose interspersed with bludgeoned moments. Massive bod. A great blood orange streak in there from mid-palate to the not so bitter end. Still carrying plenty of baby fat and built for the long haul. 1.24.24. — 6 months ago

Dense boysenberry in color: nose of blackcurrant, spice and a little licorice; lovely texture of fully ripe fruit that’s bright with just enough supporting tannin. SQN always so solid. — 2 years ago
