Rich, thick, smooth, just yummy!!! A smoky essence that was surprising. Had it with grilled chicken and tomatillo salsa. Divine. would be awesome with a steak or lamb. 8/10/18 — 8 years ago

Early test of a beer I will most certainly be aging! Barley Maw! Dip some carrot cake in Ethiopian coffee and you will be getting close on the nose. The entire bouquet is a caramelized, myrrh version of that in an oiled, leather bag; although there is a doughy life to it that evokes freshly washed hair, with whiffs of Madagascar vanilla. Heavy coffee oils, bitter chocolate, smoked leather, tar, burnt caramel, black mushroom, rattan, blackened marshmallow, allspice, graham spice and dark tobaccos finishing briny. A seaside stroll at night through foamy pools. Can't wait to see how she ages! — 10 years ago

Mature, elegant, harmonious wine that has aged well. Distinctive tertiary notes in the wine give this a definite Old World personality despite having that classic core of fruit even restrained wines take on in Napa. I bet this was singing on its 20th Birthday. — 8 years ago

New release of our Ancient Vines blend (⅓ each Zinfandel, Mourvèdre & Carignane) from Bedrock Vineyard. All 3 varietals play well together and add their own distinct flair, making for a red that's full-flavored yet nuanced. I would pair it with ribeye steaks, grilled lamb or braised short ribs. — 11 years ago

One of the most intellectual white wines in the world! Starts out nutty and oxidized and gets fruitier and youthful as it opens up. Will always be my favorite Spanish producer! — 10 years ago

Ripe cassis, sweet roasted paprika, open, generous and utterly satisfying. A clear representative of NW-cabernet, but with a definite classical Old-World edge. Loved it. 95/100 — 12 years ago
