ripe eccentric thick aromatic iconoclastic. Never enough descriptors for these old vine radical plantings. Please don’t stop making these wines.

Just a wild nose. Petrol, scotch, and honey. Not for the faint of heart. Color would rival an aged sauternes

A group of guys decided to meet up at our Wine Storage facility and bust out some unique bottles! Scores and notes to follow!

Describing this wine feels like a failure. This was absolutely unbelievably nuts. Waxy, almond flavored, hint of vanilla. My goodness this was a heavy hitter! Thanks Joe!

Interesting and polarizing. Inky and viscous. Peach nectar, menthol, pistachio and a bitter edge.
