2013 Juel Antiquum Farm Pinot Noir. Just completely amazing and complex and multifaceted. So much going on. Rich, vibrant aromas. Lively and rich and balanced on palate - fruity, good acidity on front end; mild silky middle; revving back up to a full blown gorgeous finish. Mind = blown. 225 cases produced. Purchased from Woodard Wines in McMinnville. — 10 years ago

A blend of 25 to 30 different grape varieties, old vineyards, with an average age of plus 70 years. 16 months in 225 litres barrels (85% French oak and 15% American oak). Deep ruby colour, the nose has aromas of black cherry, black plum, vanilla, and chocolate and then licorice. In the mouth, back notes of cherry, medium to full-bodied, quite alcoholic, soft tannins, moderate acidity, long finish, balanced. Wine ready to drink now (not for long terms cellaring). — 12 years ago

17/20 (92/100) 6 месяцев выдержки в 225-литровых барриках и дуб смотрится очень хорошо. Аромат встречает бензольными нотами, затем раздышивается и раскрывается новыми оттенками ананасов, нектаринов, апельсинов, цветов полыни и ванили. Умеренная тельность и довольно высокая кислотность. Вкус соответствует аромату. Красиво и благородно. — 6 years ago

What a wine. I could taste the character of Pritchard Hill - this one being from the Gandona winery. Encosta means, roughly translated, 'hillside', or 'slope' in Portuguese. P.Melka is the wine maker and this is just the estate wine.
I have to say it is pretty darn good, and definitely has that magical Melka touch. Fragrant of decayed violet and dark chocolate covered pomegranate seeds, with a hint of game. Integrated, yet quite firm tannin, exhibiting notes of blue and black fruit, bright acidity, clove, cocoa, and a lifted feel in the pallet. The alcohol is 15.6%, but you don't entirely notice it. It is well hidden. I want to know how the $225 top estate wine is drinking then... — 8 years ago

In the Trappist scene . . . This is right up my alley. Doesn't have the cloying sensation of the "other" end of the spectrum in the genre. Love it. Also, I would like to add that this has a very BFM root 225 - esque bitterness. Refreshing, elegant and tied for first with BFM. — 10 years ago

If I had to pick one beer for the rest of my life (aside from BFM ROOT 225) ------ this is like Sierra Nevada for grown ups (ha ha) ... faintly reminds me of Sierra ... But so fragrant, fresh, and clean. — 10 years ago

$40 for this brilliant bottle while people are paying $225 for The Realm Moonracer (sane vineyard, adjusted for inflation?). If the moonracer bottle is as good as this in 25 years, that’s a huge success. — 7 years ago

This a club member only wine sourced from their Two Blondes Vineyard and cellared in 225 liter barrels for 18 months. On the nose; bright cherries, blackberries, strawberries, ball park chewing gum, rose petals, potpourri, gravel and tobacco. The palate is lean but fresh & delicious. Bright cherries, strawberries, potpourri, pepper, light herbs, smoke, tobacco-cigar, dry stones, cedar, round fresh acidity, rich, lush, round long finish. This one is chug-able. Their Cabernet Franc is somewhere between Loire & Bordeaux in style. Photos of their tasting bar, tasting room and owner Greg Karrington's Master Sommelier degree. Perhaps one of the harder feats in life to accomplish. He and his partner Brandon Moss are co-owners and Winemakers. — 8 years ago
