Cherry, berry, plum with a little oak and light tannins. Good stuff from WA state. It’s been a while since I’ve had this one and it’s good to be reunited. — 3 months ago

Lovely and ripe on the nose with really punchy plum and pepper. On the palate a bit hot and short compared to the others alongside — 8 months ago

Birthday / Memorial Day party. Massive, sweet, and a bit hot but nit altogether nasty either. Pretty fruit. — 2 years ago

Slightly effervescent, pear, and melon flavor. Fantastic bottle we picked up at the local wine store, I really enjoyed it. Perfect bottle for a hot summer day! — 4 months ago

Perfumed and lean on the nose with a bit of bacon fat, sour cherry, violet and plum. On the palate a little hot and truncated. The nose wins here, but the front is good. — 8 months ago

2003. Last bottle was 3 years ago, and this one I liked better. Starts out austere with evidence of a difficult hot year. But after hours in the decanter it cycled thru some almost port like caramelized tapenades and ended the evening with a somewhat strange but delicious red crème brûlée thing. So if you have one… I suggest patience thru the awkward opening hours to get to the awkward good part. Cheers. — 3 years ago

Just what you want with a Rose on a nice hot day. Light, clean, crisp with balanced acidity. Highly drinkable. — 4 months ago

Revisiting the ‘20 Juvie with two more years in the cellar in it. Pleased to say it has mellowed quite a bit — medium purple with a nose that’s bright, sweet and full of dark fruit. The palate is long and warm (no longer ‘running hot on 15% abc’ as note on release) with kirsch, plum and subtle tannins. Excellent value. — 8 months ago

First time with this wine, and I loved it. Underripe lime, white peach, and melon with striking minerality and a saline finish. Feather light body, slight effervescence, and tart acidity just pushes it over the edge. Ultimate hot summer day wine. If only they sold it in gallon size jugs. — 2 years ago
