All I can say is "holy Cow" ... big 16.1% wine that after an hour has the burn but it's soft and full. Not as oil can heavy as some other valley floor zins but this one is a keeper with that Howell Mountain juice. Plenty of all the right fruit and spice - had with prime ribeye and grilled balsamic portabella mushrooms and hit the right spot for us for dinner and along with the peppermint bark after dinner as well :) — 9 years ago

Last night's wine.
Like someone burned the cookies. It was thick and chewy on my tongue like spiced Mexican champurrado with a little pepper burn on the back of my throat. Unripe cherries and lemongrass (yellow green) and something resembling licorice but not.

Very unique and semillon like. Nose of honey, burn sugar caramely noms. Palate of salty, funky, mushroomy goodness. — 11 years ago

some of the better quality I've had--no burn, no bite, easy finish, easy drink. incredible but no dryness, which is a deal breaker for me ;) — 10 years ago
Clean and crisp. Nectarine and peach amongst lemon zest, crushed hazlenuts and toasted oak. — 10 years ago
Very good Bourbon. A mild alcohol burn on the nose combined with a lot of cherry and honey, yet not heavily sweet.
That cherry really comes through when taking a sip. There's some almond and pecan, and a creamy milk chocolate that sits on the tongue.
I love the burn of it as it slides down my throat. Seems perfect to sip on on a cold winter day. I'd definitely get this again. — 11 years ago

классический полусладкий пино с нотами меда, грибов и горьких трав, напоминает сотерн. Тело сильное — 9 years ago
Golden colour.
Honey and medicine nose, smoky peat develops after a few minutes.
Sweet fruit then burn and a long smoky finish, needs a few drops of water.
Delicious and changes in the glass

Lots of cherry up front, nice light burn on the far back end when paired with puerco con salsa verde. — 13 years ago
