Anne-Marie rated this 92, I gave it 90, so we split the difference. Notes of guava and white melon on the nose. Delicate notes of passion fruit and honeysuckle on the palate. Inoffensive, but lacks a little character and complexity. Having said that, it doesn’t cost a king’s ransom, so, net net, it’s a buy. We purchased this on allocation, so, very pleased with the outcome

First time with this one. Impressive for a 6 y/o wine with tons of flavour and very soft and balanced. Enjoyed. Wish I knew Barolos better as I could be more accurate with my review/comparisons. — 7 years ago

A new favorite of mine. On the rocks is so refreshing. So layered and complex on the nose and the palate. Outstanding. — 8 years ago

This utterly beautiful Auslese-style Oregon Riesling, named "Raisins" and plush as the night is long, is a remarkable American Riesling! It is sweet, but wraps the sweetness in luxe power that embraces any opulent fare. Nothing short of bravura!! — 9 years ago

My first Oregon cab franc. Succulent layers of deep dark fruit with a hint of barnyard funk. Slight essence of cumin and Moroccan spices. More fruit-forward than French cab francs, but this is an interesting new world interpretation. Nice use of oak makes it feel like an older vintage. 90pts — 9 years ago

This wine satisfied all the tastes and FL smoothness but an acidic tart finish... not a fan. — 6 years ago

Smoky medium@body with medium acid. tannins are medium, light enough for Thai food but also robust enough for a skirt steak. Not bad for $30 — 7 years ago

We had great expectations for this wine. Sadly, those expectations were not realized.
On the nose, we detected iron, tart cherries and redcurrants.

On the palette, it lacks the typical opulence we have come to expect from this producer. No plush, velvety texture. Mild root vegetables and burnt oak comes to mind. We are of the view that these grapes did not reach full maturity. Good acid structure, but the wine lacks cohesion. A good example, but not great.

We paid a king's ransom for this and Plumpjack still have our hostage. sniff... — 9 years ago
