Balsamic cloudy maroon glow.

Thick body, restrained nose, easy going groomed tannins.

The usual suspects. Roses, tar, fleshy thick skinned dark cherries and spicy sandalwood. — 5 days ago

9.3

Alt-Champagne with some character and distinction.

Yeasty green almond minty floral vibes. Theres mealy apple, and chamomile and lemon too.Racy lean but has some weight.

A prick of sweet and acidic bite walk a tight rope for applause. — a month ago

9.1

Murky and stacked with bramble and minerals in a persistent purple glow.

Cab Franc that doesn't scream Cab Franc. A rocky, chalky wine with some salinity that reminds me more of serious Beaujolais.

Preschool pencil and thick strips of fruit leather with tannins that make you pucker. — 3 months ago

9.3

Thick and sticky, salty and sour.

Caramel and red apple skin and rose petals. Roasted hazelnuts, a winey wine.

Needs some air to open, shed a bit of sour angularity. When it does, the perfume hits, and it's on. — 10 days ago

9.1

Rustic and hearty and a little bit boxy until it loosens. It's shy aromatically. Earthy, bing cherries, prunes, and crushed rosemary.

Tannin, structure, and acid seem intact when a little give would do.

Cali wildness that doesn't feel quite as psychedelic as the Chardonnay (see previous note) — 2 months ago

9.1

The same Tempier game - deep, textbook, best at cellar temp for nuanced aromas and weighted viscosity.

2018 is losing its fruit, at the end of the window where hints and dried versions of fresh fruit and spices still hang around.

Dried orange peel, grapefruit, peach, and soft red melon and furry raspberry.

9.1

A big austere whiff of cherry leather with little accents of mushroom, red roses, and spruce.

Etna core; sour, saline, sun and tannins big as the ABV of almost 16%. — 17 days ago

9.1

Always donned in crushed purple velvet and nail polish remover.

Tacky but distinct, full of marooned mouse and VA.

Sour balsamic cherries, chocolatey dates, and wooly blanket. — a month ago

Ely Cohn

9.5

Rays of unfiltered feral Cali sunshine.

Sweet and sour citrus and toasted coconut with a hazy glow.

Like contest winning lemon meringue pie with a torched top. — 2 months ago

9.1

A lightweight with pretty little bits of musk, laser lemon balm, wild violets. Oily texture.

A lot to like but his honey golden wines are more fun. — 3 months ago
