If i tasted this blind, I might’ve called a wild farmhouse ale. The Brett really works well, balancing the juicy fruit. — 4 years ago

A moderately expressive nose with white orchard fruit, some floral scents, bee wax and a touch of mint. The palate is amazing, complete, so well balanced, fine, elegant, classy and yet round and rich with just good backbone to go woth that width and that fullness, a very long delicious finish but mostly what impressed me the most is that texture, so envelopping, classy and perfect. I note generally on the low side and don’t give 94 too often but this is definitely the case.

Un nez moyennement expressif avec des notes de fruits blancs, de menthe, un petit côté floral et cure d’abeille. La bouche est magnifique, un équilibre exemplaire entre cette tension contenue, cette rondeur et richesse enveloppante sans être lourde, un vin plein, fin et riche à la fois, mais c’est surtout cette texture qui m’a séduite et m’a impressionné, quelle classe, une très longue finale savoureuse vient couronner le tout. Je note assez bas généralement mais 93 ou 94 sans doute.

Rich flavour of wild blueberries and smooth honey make an exceptional mead.

Off-dry, and complex this is meant to be savoured and shared.

Another genius nose the the Baden Master of Wine. So stoney with oodles of pit fruits. Clean and expansive nose with huge minerals and an airy cloud like ephemerality. Gorgeous elite grapiness as well but this is a young nose that is a bit unformed but one can see the genius here. This will take a bit to unfurl. Some herbals and sugar snap peas develop as well. Complex and juicy but so reserved right now. The length and depth let one know this has a lot to say even if it is quiet right now. Very very persistent with vivid fruit skin details.

The nose is coming alive now with a scents of grape skins, herbs, forest floor, rubber and tree bark. So complex. What an unfurling. Palate has classic bee sting. A honeyed richness followed by acid that collects on the tip of the tongue. This so fruit skin focused and pure. So so unique and delicious but it needs more time. I will be back.

Bright, yellow-fruited wine with notes of honey suckle. Acidity is not so high, but it still paired really well with softer cheeses, particularly a manchego. Also complemented oysters really well! Great value — 5 years ago

This is delightful. Bee pollen, honey suckle, lemon meringue, Meyer lemon..that’s the nose. That all transfers so well to the palate, but with added orange blossom honey and thyme (something herbal). Still good acidity and life to this wine. I wish I had more to try in a few years. — 6 years ago

Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee... light on its feet with lots of fresh acidity, but then you realize it actually packs a lot of fruit and a good amount of oak. But all well balanced so that you don’t realize it.

Fine Rieslings Night

Golden color. All kinds of dried fruit aromas, apricots, bee wax. Flinty mineral with medium-light body. Well balanced medium (+) acidity. Off-dry to medium sweet on the palate.

Just another great wine by "Herr 300 punkts" Markus Molitor.

Wine has a hell of potential, but already drinks well. This kind of wine to stock up and observe how it develops with time. — 7 years ago

This is very elegant and complex, like most Barsacs is lighter weight than Sauternes and much more floral. Also has the tell tale honey and bee wax notes as well as lemon zest. Its terrific now and there is no rush to enjoy it. Enthusiastically recommended. — 5 years ago

Ruby in color with a wide reddish, cloudy rim.

Fruity nose with sweet raspberries, bing cherries, blueberries, vanilla, light oak, light vegetables, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black cherries, plums, sweet strawberries, raspberries, spices, light chocolates, earth, black pepper and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

The six-year-old from Mendocino County, drinks like a fresh wine. Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and very pleasant. A Good quality Pinot Noir.

Fruit forward and rich. Tangy and tasty. Good by itself or with food.

This Single Vineyard is well balanced with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

This Pinot Noir seems to be aging nicely, and will continue to drink well in the next 5 years. Tangy and interesting. A great wine to sip on by the porch.

I paired it with a triple cream Brie cheese with wild mushrooms.

Aged in French oak barrels (30% new) for 2 years.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

Fantastic Pinot Gris from this very small and super fun OR producer, Ross & Bee Maloof. Custard, citrus and mellow finish. Went well with our Mediterranean mezza dinner. Only 71 cases made. The 2016 grapes are from Thistle Vineyard. Jory soils. Fermented in neutral oak barrels and sur lie aged with no batonnage for 10 months. If you can find it...get some! — 7 years ago

This is a well made and well priced orange wine. Savory and herbal. Tea, flint, and orange peanut candy on the nose. Soft and wispy. Texture that can get a red drinker into whites. I want this with blackened shrimp and sweet potato fries, but it’s not too funky to have on its own, or with duck? “It Could Happen to You” — 8 years ago
