Nose and attack are incredible. Like the most luscious chardonnay with a touch more volume. Guava, perfume of tropical fruits, floral notes. The arc primes one for breadth and concentration the mid palate is missing. But then the finish is zingy and lasts forever. — 4 years ago
A perfect natural wine - easy and smooooth — 5 years ago
Really unique wine/cider blend of grapes and apples. Tart and juicy. Very easy to drink and great for summer! — 5 years ago
Jammy! Strawberry jam. Charcoal on the nose. Some dark fruit there. Fruit forward for sure. If there was oak, it has resolved itself nicely at this point. This has aged well and is in the right part of the arc. Alcohol at 15% but I think it’s shy of that. — 5 years ago
A summer wine in the best way. Zippy and fun. Notes of berries and a slight carbonation. — 6 years ago
Both loved it — 8 years ago
This is going places. Quite elegant even if primary and youthful at nearly four years of age. Muted nose; palate is blackberry & stone, highly mineral, terrific balance & acidity - an elegant arc. Pull one if you must but take my word—this will pay dividends. — 3 years ago
Excellent magnum, fun to share! Good amount of barnyard and acrid, cat piss nose balanced out with a soft bubble and medium acidity. A little tight. A close, sparkling cousin to their Luca (Traminette). — 4 years ago
At first sip it tastes a bit like a cider and finishes like a juicy rose. Tart and refreshing. Unique and worth the search! — 5 years ago
Crisp, sour, so frefreshing on a hot day chilled — 5 years ago
I was surprised to see the ratings so low from others. This wine was gorgeous. Calling it a baby chateaunuf du pape would not do it justice. This can go toe to toe with the real thing. I bought this 10 years ago (thanks JR) and it got buried at the bottom of my cellar and I forgot about it. Glad I did! — 6 years ago
Beach me up vibes all day baby. Smells like white peaches and clear skies and seashells. Zings on the tongue and you need that warming zing if like me you are gonna dip into the Pacific (soon I hope anyway I love the sea). The palate is chilled melon, gushing wet stone, and some sort of flower whose name I’ll never remember.
It’s terrible, I can name 7 synonyms for Tempranillo, but when it come to the rest of all botanica I can’t get it together.
Anyway. This finishes a with a hit of grapefruit flavor so from stone fruits to melon to citrus it runs the fruit gamut.
Gushing wet stone is the through-line. I don’t know if it has a dramatic arc but I don’t think it needs it. — 3 years ago
Waited a bit too long on this one. Catching the downside of the arc. — 4 years ago
Tart yet round. Light frizz. Delightful picnic companion. — 6 years ago
Cloudy, tasty, refreshing. — 6 years ago

Probably past it's aging arc but only just slightly. Crunch red fruit that is musky and starting to be dried red fruits, moderate spices accent the wine. — 3 years ago
