Suuuper crisp, gently acidic but mineral driven and enjoyable. — 23 days ago

Fruit forward nose, dark red fruits like plum, blackberry and honestly some pine sap and woody, wet mulch notes. Medium bodied, jammy, lightly tannic and juicy red fruit flavors with a fresh, dry finish. — 11 days ago
Fine bubbles, tight, crystalline, pale yellow/green hue, medium bodied and a crisp nose of a slightly peppered meat pastry, light, like a salami, with notes of crisp green apple and wet stone (granite?) which carry over into and extremely dry, tight, crisp palate. Not acidic, it’s all mineral driven, with some zippy energy that lingers long after the sip. Great stuff, just not my favorite, especially for the price, very light and dry. — 19 days ago

The nose on this thing is amazing! It’s tight and crispy acidity with the red fruit, with white pepper, celery, cranberry, underripe strawberries, maybe a little fennel, some salinity and maybe a little fresh mulch or forest floor. Medium bodied and a cranberry like color, with a little pale raspberry color. The palate has the same zippy acidity with some real tannin that sit well mid palate, while the fruit emerges to the sides. It’s got a little earth, great energy, and a long grippy finish and an impressive first impression for the Cucamonga Valley. — 18 days ago
Suuuper surprising with a LOT of lithe acidity for its age! — 23 days ago
Damn this was good. Purely old world, perfectly integrated fruit, forest floor with some graphite and lots of depth. — a month ago

Lighter medium body over pale burgundy color, with purple hues deeply embedded within. Took a while to open up, but once the nose started opening up the ripe red fruit, crunchy acidity and notes of bark, plum, leeks, and cracked pepper started to show. The palate is deep and old world, with hints of earth, smoke, even some BBQ sauce. Main palate is cranberry, tart cherry, and dark plum, with a LOT of energy and life, with some bramble, and really, this could age for another 40 years or more easy. — 6 days ago
