Light and bright on the palette, hints of apple and a mineral finish, very smooth, creamy bubbles. Crafted with organic grapes, its breaths of things fresh and green......a keeper! — 6 years ago

This stuff was absolutely amazing. Like, a baby SQN, and not near the price. Certified organic, and owned by two Dallas natives!

A blend of 2 great vineyards: Paderewksi (which is used in some of the Saxum wines), and Catapult.

54% Syrah, 21% Mourvedre, 16% Grenache, 9% Petit Sirah. — 7 years ago

21 years in and still flourishing. Jam compote and lead pencil on the nose. Beautiful poise and grace on the palette. Lovely, brambly fruits, complemented barrel toast. Barton never disappoints. — 8 years ago

This wine is still drinking young notwithstanding its 21 year age. Tannins are still tight but the wine is racy and elegant. It evolved significantly over an hour and a half period and became less austere. A refreshing level of acidity is present but I would wait at least another 5 years before sampling again. — 8 years ago

Raisins and leather on the nose. Slightly sweet. Taste begins sweet and caramel; very full. Slightly alcohol forward. Dries out late with hints of oak and smoke. As someone else said, it's like the offspring of bourbon and rum. — 6 years ago

Rich amber color. Luscious red fruits, licorice, honey, and cardamom in the nose. Deeper flavors on the palate, with very rich mouthfeel and hints of light smoke. Luxurious finish. Nice to be tasting some Japanese whisky again after a dry spell in California! — 7 years ago
