9.1

Unmistakably German murky crimson that reminds me of a dark forest and smells like damp leaves.

Starts rich with cherry and cedar notes, chalky minerality, and evolves into savory sappy balsamic and soy.

I remember thinking the 2012 was more fruit forward and charismatic. 2015 is darker and more restrained, with proportional dimensions. — 3 days ago

9.1

How much sweet honey and drippy juice can you cram into a package of 10% ABV Trocken Riesling?

Expressive, sweet, tiny bit dank. Ripping orange pulp and canned peaches in thick syrup, if only a bit boxy on the palette. — 2 months ago

9.3

Immediately obvious this isn't house orange. Deep and grippy.

Burnt orange sunset with handles to grasp. Sour apricots and juicy peaches dance around minty basil and tarragon.

I've squeezed all the mystery out of Tempier Rose' over the years. Consistently good. Consistently consistent.

Familiar salmon rose gold. Orange zippy bitter pith and grapefruit sours. Herbs de provence and mild tannin in a syrupy Bandolian texture.

Always hits...in exactly the same way. — 18 days ago

9.0

Golden tinge, preserved acid and fruit.

Ripe tropical fruits. Pineapple. Starfruit. Yellow stuff. Backdrop of baking spice and coconut.

Very well packaged, supple and zippy in a tight little box. — a month ago

9.2

Flinty, smokey, charred lemon and seashell. Full boat of texture and concentrated flavor + acid. Action and amplitude in every direction. — 2 months ago

Sweet and round, opulent fruit and yeast.

Bruised apple, lemon, baking bread. Delicious and approachable. — 5 months ago

8.8

Liaison's Rose' cousin shares the Enderle DNA. A less saturated version with the same crunchy, wild, green, phenolic, tannic foundation.

Murky cranberry, green strawberry, Luden cherry and smokin sweet palo santo. — a month ago

8.9

Rustic, countryside. Woodsy cherry, with sweet raisins, dates, and a cedar core. There are roses and tar and other dusty notes on the periphery.

Powerhouse of flavor, with grippy tannins and a little bit of heat (14.5%) on the swallow. — 2 months ago

9.1

The Mullen wines are always opulent. Golden, honeyed, full of character. This is 13 years deep and sitting very pretty right now.

A golden featherweight. Lemon kerosine and honey.

Not quite as deep as the ones with the stars, better than entry. — 4 months ago
