Had to capture the contrast between the cobalt blue sky and the lava lamp neon orange skin fermented wine. Reminiscent of a Jules Verne novel.
Oranges and apricots in the bouquet blend with honey bee pollen aromas.
Sips of this are sun kisses showering down from the skies as rays of refreshing , thirst quenching flavor.
Clementine surf on a spindrift of apricots cresting into a thyme undercurrent.
Despite having a considerable amount of sediment, which I allowed to diffuse into the elixir, I couldn’t detect much of the funky notes they warn you of. Just rounded out sips of pleasure and satisfaction.
Simply, simply love this. — 4 years ago
Didn’t love quite as much as the other Bloomer Creek but still delish. Funky. A little flat on the finish. — 4 years ago
Drank with Kody at Little Club. Pretty sure it was this one. Could have bloomer creek? First cab franc that I’ve tried that I love. Herbaceous but a lot of violet. The florals overpower the bell pepper. Light bodied but purple crispy in color. — 5 years ago
Outstanding minerality with strong apple and pear notes — 6 years ago

Extraordinary Riesling. Expressive nose of white flowers and honey and dried apples and old river rocks sticky with honey. The palate is bone dry, like an old conch shell full of grilled herbs. Nervy and chalky and electric and delicious. Made for a pour pairing with a spicy vodka sauce due to the intense, martini-like dryness. — 3 years ago
Apple cider, mulling spices, cinnamon top note, yellow raisins baking on a pizza.
Fine, fine bubbles. Beads of freshness bursting with vivacity and life. Strong apricot and mango. Fruit forward, but also herbaceous on the mid palate. A bit of thyme, a bit of sage. Slight grapefruit astringent note right at the end.
Just enough to round out a full complexity of flavors. Super refreshing. Chill to the max and enjoy with an array of cheeses, on a lawn chair, with Indian food, or like me, post vegan Mexican from Jajaja watching a movie about extraterrestrial life. What can I say? I’m a nerd in more than a few ways.
Another winner from Bloomer Creek. The Guwerz comes first, then this, then the 100% Riesling. — 4 years ago
Drinking tremendously now, an early bloomer expressing the fruit and mineral of where it comes from. — 4 years ago

Great Bordeaux blend. Jammy fruit with herbaceous notes and plenty of dusty tannins. Definitely a late bloomer and coming into its own right now.

Nice FLX Riesling with a bit of funk. Peaches and pears, with some skin contact adding body. A bit of oxidation lends a sherry-like character to it. — 4 years ago
Tart, dank, and mouthwatering. Smells like fruit loop dispensary kush. Zippy petrol notes and hazy golden straw in the glass. Dream mashup for Riesling + natty wine lovers! — 4 years ago
A late bloomer, but worth the wait! — 5 years ago

Honey, oranges, mangoes, peaches. All the tropicals.
Ah man, Bloomer Creek just makes me happy. Every time I see their bottles at a retailer, I pretty much have to cop it. Today it was from Frankly Wines in TriBeCa.
Great selection and knowledge at this shop.
A little character in this one, reminding me a bit of an orange wine. Dry and got a nice minerality, but also a honeycomb sweetness and finally a bit of a zing (kind of like the herby citrusy crossover that pine needles have). I went on a guided hike in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Biologist guide pointed out all the things we could eat in the forest. And we did. No one got sick. My dad told long, unnecessary stories to the other troop members. Ah, simpler times.
This is a glass where you close your eyes, everything else melts away, and you enjoy the simplicity, the balance, the crisp sips. — 3 years ago
