Unique orange wine with tea and funk and tart fruits like persimmon and preserved lemon. It reminds me of Oskar Maurer wines but not as complex. Overall I would have again in the right moment. I like the uniqueness — 4 days ago

Third bottle and excellent! One more left. So much earth and herbs and bright red fruits. I love this wine. I’ve had two Mourvèdre wines I really enjoy from wineries that have shut down, who is using this fruit now? What other wineries can I get crunchy Mourvèdre that has a whisper of bandol but at the same time is hippie California? — 20 days ago

Really nice. Strawberries and raspberries and meringue, acidity with citrus and underripe pear. The berries carry the show with a lingering finish almost after a fruit liquor without the burn. I think the blanc version is better. — a month ago

Chilled perfection. So much berries and cranberry, and bramble, then more fruit, not too much acidity, balanced. So good and enjoyable. Great wine for an outdoor bbq. — 6 days ago

Really nice. Good with a slight chill. This is not the estate, but the Bella Costa vineyard which is lighter bodied. The labeling is annoying. Tart cherries, dried herbs, leather but overall bright red fruits and acidity. Great for pizza night. — 16 days ago

Herbal and light bodied. After 30 minutes some fruit showed up. Overall pretty good, but almost too lean. — 22 days ago

Herbal tea, strawberry, maybe black tea, some stones and baking spice. Palate is similar. More clove and strawberries with herbal tea. Needs another couple of years in bottle I think. — 21 days ago

Young. Obviously Napa. Unclear why the 50 dollar sale at my local place but seems to be consistent online. Good nose of flint, cherry, cassis, hint of wood, a bit of berry bramble. Palate is god tannin, berry cobbler, forest more on the woody side than green, there’s some spice. Overall pretty good. — a month ago

And no, I don't have any financial or vested interest in their efforts. Just observations/tastings for the last 35 years.

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego thanks for the insight. Glad I finally got to try something from them.

@Brandon Boesch Their 2024 "9.8" Cab is absolutely stellar for the ca$hi$h. What the resto pays for it is simply ridiculous. Tastes like an excellent retail $150 Napa Cab.
