Founders Mortal Bloom: Sinister Haze: Hazy IPA
Dark gold leaning into amber with a yellow green aura around white locks. Roosters, snakes and rooster-snakes slither under curtained films and alligators backing off lacings. Sweet nose evokes white cherry and strawberry-kiwi, guava, hibiscus and pineapple, lemon, grapefruit and clementine. Less fruity palate amplifies the citrus with clementine, tangerine and kumquat in the fore and a tsunami of lemon and lemon oil reminding. Lemon grass and lemon verbena beside cannabis and sage. Hoppy happy.

Harmonious blend, not too fruity, mild but pleasing in flavor. Delicate and smooth, producing a happy pairing with charcuterie. — 4 years ago

Interesting- like a Muscadet aged on its lies. Solid though the vintner apparently gets kudos — 6 years ago

A true kabinett? Check. Under 10% alcohol? Check, 8%. A deal? Check, Under 15$. Female vintner, check. A simple wine to drink while playing Rummikub with the family during a pandemic? Check. — 6 years ago

Has some legs and gritty depth beyond a typical Bierzo. Needs some air, but smacks of a good vintner. Black fruited. Bowler import. — 7 years ago

Originally had at A Pimento wine dinner with the vintner. Opens up beautifully. Lush, smooth, deep wine. Dark fruits a little spice. Got 1/2 price at Kroger - a steal!! — 7 years ago

Vintage 2015 | Rene Pöckl is a magician vintner in Burgenland. Nice, modest and determined to make the best wine possible. This 2015 seemed after ten years infanticide, great structure and a huge promise for the future. Tasted blind next to Errazuriz Don Maximiliano 2015. Win for Pöckl. — a year ago

2Q18, magnum, drinking fantastically. Never had anything from this vintner, but was in the restaurant and saw this for a ‘reasonable’ price - as good as you would expect! — 8 years ago

2019 vintage. Last tasted 08.19.23 (9.5). Still medium heavy-heavy bod. Plushy nose, aggressively undying flavors and brick + mortar structure. Comparable to what it must have been like to see Mozart live back in that day. Confusing. Pure. Beyond mortal comprehension. "It's getting better all the time." 03.08.25. — a year ago

A very fine merlot. Will age. Dark fruit, earthy, long finish. Tannin is pronounced buy will fade over time . Well balanced. Imho Pride is a first tier vineyard and a real value. I’ve visited 3 times and will again. — 7 years ago
