Opaque inky lake of simmering blueberry tobacco cinnamon sticks. It wafts my direction. The scent is so enchanting. I’m actually very excited to taste this one. Look, I know it’s Temecula Tempranillo. Not Spanish Rioja. It’s big, bold, baked. But that’s what you buy when you go there, right???
It has plenty of acidity on the palate, upfront, in-your-face throw acid in your enemy’s eyes acidity. These are young tasting berries that defy the nose, and last long long long on the lingering unapologetic finish. Well done, Lorimar. You’ve grown outside the overbaked overripe Temecula box and produced a tapas-friendly acid-loving unjammy delight with plenty of tannin to back. — 4 years ago

Quality of this wine is very good. It is very good because it has strong balance of acidity and fruit characteristics. It has a good length and intensity of aromas. It could be improved with greater complexity and tertiary flavor development that would increase the honeyed and dried fruit flavor potential. This wine may be consumed now, but will benefit from more time in the bottle.

Golden nectar , would love to come back to this in a few years . So long and dreamlike — 8 years ago
Wow, first off, the color is like liquid gold or canary diamonds. It's striking and beautiful, with a nose that's a nice balance between floral and fruity. The flavor is bold and lingering, with a striking acidity that lingers, and then peters away into a gentle flavor of toasted marshmallow. The flavors are crisp Apple, peaches, honeydew, and white and golden fruits, with a gentle gravelly minerality. Great wine. — 4 years ago
2015. Excellent right out of the bottle, didn’t even need to breathe. Snappy and crisp but a robust and confident base to balance out the fruitiness. Will repurchase. — 5 years ago

Much better than my last go at the wine (was good last time as well) and the past couple of months have really done it some good as it feels much more balanced and the red and blue fruit showing very well with a bit more mocha showing itself this time I feel. Glad I have one more bottle - but will try and give that a few more years. — 4 years ago
