Out of magnum. Beautiful Chardonnay. Fermented butter, macadamias, bruised apricot, lemonade — 7 months ago
77 acres of very old vaso trained Monatrell vines & 29 acres of 30 year old Cab Sauvignon. A blend of 70% Cab Sauvignon & 30% Monastrell aged 2 years. Dark Ruby with dark berry flavors & complex spice. Rich ripe blueberry & blackberry flavors with vanilla spice, tobacco, balanced acidity. Tannins are approachable but the wine is still very young, long finish ending with integrated oak notes. Still needs time, don’t be tempted but if you wait this will be great!

Peppery, cherry, cranberries. Rosemary pairs well. Duck, figs, pork chops. — 24 days ago
A little green in flavor (as in unripe), too acidic, but had some elements of tropical fruit, just not full and ripe. Has potential but not the best. — 3 months ago
Well balanced Chardonnay. Good fruit, not overly oaky. Nice Christmas gift. — 9 months ago
Been drinking this over a few nights and very nice — a year ago
My last bottle…
A few years back I bought 3 bottles. Now can’t find another 2017 on the inter-webs.
Soft mouth feel with a kick not from tannins, per se, but from a strong peppery finish. Just loved.
36% Grenache, 36% Syrah, 31 mourverdre…
After 2017 they jacked up the Grenache and it hasn’t been the same. Not sure the vineyard is even still around.
Was fun while it lasted…. — a month ago
Ripe, but not cloying. Peaches and acid. — 7 months ago
Nice big, chewy wine. 2nd half of the bottle still drank nicely 5 days after opening. — 9 months ago

Love this high altitude zin—old school balanced sensibility and character in abundance. Loads of cherry and spice without being hot or jammy — a month ago
