Rosè colored. Thick and creamy on the tongue. Slightly sweet delicate strawberry tropical fruit Also described as "not cloying" by a table mate. A perfect close to a meal. — 9 years ago
So rad. I'm partial to the sweeter fruit sours, as the sour-on-sour nature of this is a little relentless. The vanilla and orange aromas really pick up on the finish, and add an extra layer of complexity. Texture is creamy and full without being cloying and it's a necessary contrast to the barbaric intensity of the acid. Not for the faint of heart, but really rewarding. Continuing my thoughts that they have to be one of America's greatest sour ale producers. — 10 years ago

The canopy system used in the Rias Baxias region of northwest Spain provides for ample aeration and keeps the vines protected from the moist ground which breeds an environment not conducive to support healthy clusters. The Galician climate receives moisture from the Atlantic and is mostly sticky, warm and rainy with rain ☔️ most days during the year. Winters are a bit harsh and cold. The humid, salt air is what this viticultural environment is all about. The mostly white wines made here are highly acidic, with notes of tart, green apple 🍏 and white flowers. Most wines are aged in stainless steel and some see new, French oak for a few months. Then they are aged in the bottle. You can cellar them for up to 5-6 years. The Albariño grape is the most expensive and most difficult to produce in all of Spain. — 8 years ago

At Michael's in Friday Harbor on San Juan Island doing the Honeymoon and Michael is the winemaker of this really special and small production blend of Cab Franc and Syrah called Qone'.
