Starts out on the wrong foot. Barnyard and aggressive CO2, but within 20 minutes was singing. Cherries and subtle licorice. Almost a milk chocolate sweetness, but like when chocolate is almost fruity. But not at all bitter. And has the sexy texture im starting to look for almost more than taste in determining quality — 5 years ago

After only a few sips I'm entranced. Subdued smokey fruit, a bit of minerality and great acid, mild tannins. This is a well crafted wine. Will definitely get more of this. Excellent. — 11 years ago

Very Beaujolais-like. Lots of juicy pomegranate, blueberry, cranberry, and a bit of grape. Rose and violet potpourri, vintage lipstick, crushed oyster shell minerality. Bright, lifted, and very pretty with subtle chalky tannins. (This review is for the 2019 Iruai Shasta-Cascade) — 5 years ago

2015 vintage. Light-bodied and perfumed. Wild strawberry, blackberry, incense, violets, black rocks, a little iron twang, red plums, pomegranate. Great with a light chill. Quintessential warm weather red. — 6 years ago

Lean & mineral, with quite high acidity, the typical iron streak and black fruit coming last. Herby and with a meaty, wet fur tone, too. Not bad. — 7 years ago
