Slow to open then filled with incense, herbs, and subtle sour cherry. — 19 days ago
Lithe and kinda tired. Stewed fruits. Have yet to have an older outstanding bottle of DV compared to similar vintage Mondavi or Montelena. Disappointed. — 24 days ago
Green and lean. Underripe fruit. Chiseled structure but alas with a short finish. Would have been fun to enjoy decanted or over an extended time. — 7 days ago
Rare Austrian federspiel from Fritz. Best on day 2. Lime zest. Orange oil. Subtle petrol. Medium yellow color indicating some ripeness despite the lower classification on this 2018. — 19 days ago
Bright fruit and chewy tannins from an excellent vintage. Mild aromas of menthol and tar. Excited for day 2. — 7 days ago
Juicy and delicious. Total surprise from many other acid driven thin examples. Beautiful porch wine in the prelude of summer. — 13 days ago
Can Albariño get much better? I don’t think so. Lime skin, orange rind, mineral, sourdough. Look out y’all. This can’t stay affordable for long. — 19 days ago

Quintessential RRV. Rhubarb, strawberry, cola, cherry. Incense wafting from the glass. Beautiful use of oak. Reference point wine for me. — 11 hours ago
