At 20 years of age, this shows graceful maturity. Aromas of dried plum, fig, cedar, and mocha unfold alongside leather and warm spice and hint of purple floral. The palate is supple and harmonious, with resolved tannins and a gentle acidic lift that keeps the wine poised. Savory hints of olive and earth add complexity. The smooth finish feels settled and complete.

A bottling from Langhorne Creek and one Two Hands no longer produces. Would be fun to taste all the Garden series bottling side by side. — 3 months ago

I have been a big Sonoma-Cutrer fan but this is good but pricey as I would reach for other Chards at that price point. Sir-lie aging for 10 months in French oak, pale lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate apple, peach & melon with lime citrus zest, spice and toasty caramel notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice lively acidity, ending with spice, fruit, citrus and mineral character. — 5 months ago

What’s Durif? Loved the combo with Australian Shiraz. Red and blackberry and cherry with a touch of oak and smoke. This was quite the fruit bomb with mild tannins and medium body. Please sir. . . I want some more. — 4 months ago

Pale lemon with stone fruit aromas & spicy floral tones. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach, with blossom and cinnamon spice, lively acidity supporting the oak and “sir lie” aging. Medium+ finish ending with vivid acidity and mineral tones. Very nice. — 4 years ago

I was introduced to this wine by @Eric LeMasters - thank you, sir!
Lithe on the nose and palate, dominated by espresso. Laser-focused black cherries and tight tannins, give way to minerality and floral notes. Decadent, with an old-world style. Primo. — 6 years ago

Medium lemon , light copper hue . Some light but persistent bubbles still. This is quite serious and rich on the nose , with some orange rind , walnut , touch of mushroom and meaty , soy hints . Quite rich , intense and dense on the palate but with good freshness still , long with orange rind and walnut. Perfect now and over the next 5 years or so .

Cherry on the nose. Smooth but with subtle complexities. Worth the $50+ price. Full mouth feel and cherry heavy. Bigger than other burgundy’s but still great for daily sir king with or without food. Paired nicely with roasted chicken and potatoes — 5 years ago
