Stunning dimension and length. Their experiments in extended aging are always rewarding. Surprising offdry for what was a federspiel by harvest classification.

Crazy good. Petrol, Dill, ground cherry, lemon, lime, white pepper, dried herbs, Darjeeling tea, orange blossom, orange oil, jasmine.
Finish goes on for minutes. Dry, complex, exactly what you want in a wine

This was aged perfectly and in great shape. So elegant and complex. Petrol, citrus, slate, honey, great zip. #tbt Thanksgiving

A perfectly balanced Riesling! At 15 years, the mineral, floral, acid, and honied components are singing in perfect harmony! Could stand a tiny bit more intensity to be 95+. Killer!!

Incredible wine. Richly viscous texture and medium-plus weight. A waft of petrol and white waxy flowers, followed with a honeyed lime and apple tart palate. Subtle minerality and a long finish. Reminds me a lot of what Kongsgaard does with Chardonnay from an artistic standpoint. Amazingly paired with a Brazilian Moqueca prepared by some wonderful new friends here on the Kauai North Shore.

A stunning revelation. Aged years and years on the lees and released late 2016. It is so expressive. Saline and orchard fruit. Monumental. Beyond mere words. #renegadewines #santabarbara #winenerd #sb #sommlife #winetasting #wineporn #seesb #trustyourpalate #montecito #sbcwine #seriousjuice #winetime #winegeeks #winewednesday #sbiff

Had the 98. Bone dry. This wine was incredibly complex. Gun smoke and diesel and apricot on the nose. The front pallet was round, deep and viscous but finished with stone fruit and bright acidity.
