First time trying this and coming off the back of a dry month.
Impressive for its depth and weight. Nose displays blueberry jam and a hint of sandalwood. Palate is opulent and rich - pretty much stood still in the bottle. Glorious tannins, acidity and that Cali sweet note on the finish put this in the outstanding category.

This is a typically rich and voluptuous example from Tor. It’s flashy on the mid palate displaying roasted pineapples and a hint of lychee. This is a multidimensional example with delicate wood treatment and soft acidity. The finish extends and expands with a sexy sweet conclusion. Take a look if you can find it. — a month ago

Big surprise and very impressed for such a young burg. Delicate notes of cola and black cherries on the nose and palate. Plush presentation on the mid palate with weight and a velvety texture. Relaxed tannins and moderate acidity make this a buy at the right price. — 2 months ago

We have started our “dry month.” One week in and will restart over thanksgiving. If I didn’t have so much wine, would probably give it up. I’m more productive without alcohol…

So consistent. Lovely texture and weight, without being OTT.. very well executed. Pineapple and meyer lemons create urgency on the mid-palate. This is a innovative variation on chard. Take a look, you may be surprised. — 2 months ago

As big fans of the Hudson vineyard, we needed to go here.
As expected, it presented the typical Hudson signature of ripe exotic fruits, volume on the mid-palate and unctuous sweetness. Pure and viscous in terms of presentation. We are enjoying this on wifey’s birthday.
