This wine has so much going on. It’s like a life-form amalgam of animal/vegetable/mineral. Color is like plasma. Nose has raw grass-fed beef, liquid stones, and mentholic Ben-Gay thing, resinous herbs, lime, charcoal ash, and tangy boysenberry. Seriously. Lots of shit happening. It is mouthfilling and loaded with clingy, soft tannin, and has bloody, minerally, dark berry skin flavors for miles. Long finish and good acids. Only 13.9%, which, these days, passes for low alcohol. Terrific wine. — 7 years ago

Crisp, clean, floral, perfect acidity, perfectly lean but still ripe. Almost ethereal. Killer! Good job Ben!! — 10 years ago

Floral, pear and apple. Very minerally with some spice. Roussanne seems to be the dominant part. — 10 years ago

Red Fruit raspberry on the nose...little spice too. Darker black berries on palate with complexity...could use an hour of decanting to really open up. Medium bodied wine...good example of Gaps Coastal Pinot. — 11 years ago

Vibrant. High toned fruit. Some earth and meatiness. One would think this is north Rhone all the way. Very pure. — 12 years ago

Mind blowing chard. Unfiltered, concrete ferment, 12.2abv, reminds me of aged Ganevat. Nutty, lemony and cheesy — 11 years ago

Celebration cap for the 2012 Wind Gap Blaufränkisch. Dark juicy fruit, bay leaf, tree spice, enough acid for balance, soft enough to be enjoyed by everyone. Gleeful. — 12 years ago

9.2

A savory juicy textured herbal food pairing champ. Like cooking sous-vide with an immersion circulator, what was once a geeky oddity has found a permanent home on our table. Not a universal solution, but really the right tool for the job in certain situations. Like pan seared halibut with fennel or spring vegetable risotto. — 8 years ago

Still drinking like a youngster. Light bodied with coarse tannins. Very fresh fruit profile with leather and spice. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cunoise. — 9 years ago

Pink orange color with appealing red fruit, and rose petal aromas. On the palate, it's medium bodied with a wonderful mouthwatering acidity and a nice grip courtesy of the Nebbiolo with tart strawberry and cherry flavors and a lingering finish. — 10 years ago
