An intensely concentrated and vibrant QbA at 29 years. This magical half-dry Riesling reached deep into its steep Carthusian hill to pull out and offer its mineral laden complexity. — 11 days ago
2003 had no problem achieving BA ripeness yet did not experience much if any botrytis. Very yummy wine nonetheless. — 24 days ago
Desert grown Late Harvest Riesling. Very fine and kicking at 38 years. Comparable to a big Auslese. — 8 days ago
Golden meadow sunshine bubbling honeyed botrytis harmonized with ripe fruit acidity. — a month ago
This is the fullest bodied and ripest 2007 Willamette PN I’ve had. 14.5% stated alcohol. Just a bit over the top but still enjoyable. — 3 days ago
My favorite rosés improve with aging. — 15 days ago
Here is an honest, clean, straightforward, FLX Cab Franc. No extra attributes but no extra price tag. Good expression of the grape in a cool climate. More Loire than Bordeaux or almost anything on the US West Coast. — a month ago
