A great effort for American Oktoberfest. Tastes European. — 10 years ago
THIS... is... Seriously. Good. Phucking. shtuff. Surprisingly good...? Maybe. Luckily good..? Perhaps. Unless you've met Dirty: Which most of the wine drinking USA has -but, rather, intentionally fucking good. AND -possibly luckily too -as long as luck has something to do with exceptionally talented farming combined with tremendous desire(s) to make vibrant and ridiculously love-able fermented grape juice of pure integrity and a casually particular design. This wine is that friend you only get to see once a year, that one you cannot wait to see again. The wine is too young to rate with any opinion other than Rawesome, and while I've only had one bottle, I've certainly not had enough to offer an opinion against Rawsome -therefore tasting notes be damned -yet, this can be said: here is a clean wine, lacking brett or VA or other 'flaws'; a bright, refreshing jubilant anthem of untainted wine, an ode to a grape that will likely become California's bastard child once popularity hits and Dirty & Rowdy prices climb to astronomical, near Tempier-like pricing and ficcichlty to come by. (I liked ficcichlty over difficulty since spellcheck kept it purposely so did I.). Oh wait, they're already ficcichlt to come by. Damn it. — 12 years ago

Nice well rounded body tasting the cherry's and red berries. Love the bouquet. It is a little heavier than the usual Pinot Noir — 9 years ago

Lovely wine. Would be even better if alcohol was a little lower — 8 years ago
Wine tasting notes: night time dock, wicker, exhaled tobacco smoke, bubbles. Finish of screen doors slamming and clothes rustling. Pairs best with the noise static used to make from your TV after the national anthem, and boobs. — 9 years ago

Hello dark cherries and hints of olive? Velvety tannins and well balanced this has a nice grip to it. Well structured — 8 years ago
