Nice for a blend — 8 years ago
A bit of a revelation domestically. Dank on the nose (weed gummies is how the winemaker describes it and he isn’t wrong), loaded with juicy fruit, tart acidity but more savory qualities to follow, underscored by a vegetal structure. — 8 years ago
Lightly sweet and smooth — 9 years ago
Absolutely great breakfast/brunch wine. Fruit forward nose of overripe strawberry compote, raspberries, sea air and some citrus zest over a pale redddish-raspberry color. Effervescent, medium bodied, and dry, with prominent zesty red berry fruit, and refreshing finish. — 3 years ago
Very nice blend - would def buy again — 6 years ago
Wicked! Savory, notes of Sherry, red berries, low sulfur. 12.5 abv. — 6 years ago
Pre-Labor Day festivities with friends.
Stinky barnyard, new leather, dried cherry, wicked finish, still years to go, more notes later...
48 Hour Update:
Nose has ripe cherry syrup, moist earth, dry tree bark, ripe black cherry, ripe blackberry, light star anise and roasted meats.
Palate has ripe black cherry, cherry jam, dusty blackberry, light cedar notes, smoked and charred meats, dry earth and a very sappy finish that runs very long. Tannins are in a beautiful spot right now, they do not get in the way of the beautifully complex flavors, but just a gentle complement. Future bottles can be 2021-23. — 7 years ago

Dry and crisp not too oaky — 5 years ago
Dried herbs, weed, and hay. Dried prunes raisins, light liquorice, and red raspberry compote. Earl grey tea, bergamote. Autumn leaves and fresh composte. Christmas candy cane. Once again, ethereal. A Burgundian Rhone. Even more tea like after some time. — 8 years ago
Cru Chablis in disguise. Wicked matchstick minerality and golden fruits. Textured and round with acidic backbone. — 8 years ago
A five hour decant. Dark cherry and blueberries with a rub of minerals and tobacco. Just awesome — 9 years ago

Deep ruby color; strawberry sauce, dried herbs, and licorice on the nose; low acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes the same as it smells. Too sweet for my tastes and Bri tastes (surprisingly), but Leo likes it. I think it tastes a bit like candied fennel. — 2 years ago
