Bright, zippy, refreshing. Strawberries, a hint of salinity, and tart but not overwhelmingly citrusy. Wonderful warm weather wine, great with a watermelon feta salad. — 5 years ago
Piero Incisa de la Rochetta’s (Sassicaia) pinot noir project in Patagonia, Argentina continues to deliver impressive results such as this mind blowing release, Sin Azufre. Natural wine at its best displaying tipicity, personality and approachability. For anyone into elegant Pinots with freshness, balance and value, look no further. — 7 years ago
What merlot should always be. Ripe cherries, blackberries, and plum with roasted mushrooms, wet forest floor, tobacco, and beautiful acid and tannins. — 9 years ago

This has got to be the top Pinot Noir from the Southern Hemisphere. Who else is fighting for the podium?! Chacra in Patigonia has a shot. Burn Cottage from NZ I like. Ochota from Oz is worthy of a podium. But yeah, Sailor is winning gold in my book. — 6 years ago
So pretty. That's a wine where you buy a case (at least) and drink it through the summer. — 10 years ago
This was one of the red wines I served for my annual WWC hosting, alongside a 2016 Pellegrin Gamay, 2017 Chacra CyC, and 2015 Force Majeure estate Syrah.
As all wines are tasted blind, I totally get the guesses of Cayuse-like Syrah. The 100% whole cluster use here is undeniably distinct. For the most part, it seems to be a love it or hate it style (I love it). By the time we all got to this, it had been in the glass 1-2hrs. Deep purple, with massive stemmy/green aromatics that hit you in the face. Wintergreen notes, too. On the palate, it’s funky, herbal, spice driven notes wrapped around underripe blackberries and rhubarb. This is a floral, savory, spicy Syrah at 8yrs that seems crazy youthful. Likely hangs in this window for a while. Bravo, Mike Smith. — 4 years ago
