So rad. I'm partial to the sweeter fruit sours, as the sour-on-sour nature of this is a little relentless. The vanilla and orange aromas really pick up on the finish, and add an extra layer of complexity. Texture is creamy and full without being cloying and it's a necessary contrast to the barbaric intensity of the acid. Not for the faint of heart, but really rewarding. Continuing my thoughts that they have to be one of America's greatest sour ale producers. — 9 years ago

I have rarely been more pleased. Sensational. More, please, now. The label says it all, but Cascade is making some of the greatest fruit sours in America. — 10 years ago

Bordeaux grapes make this a Bordeaux style wine, but the terroir of the Columbia River Valley make this fuller than most Bordeauxs -- lovely wine, indeed! — 10 years ago

Notes of smoked Gouda, leather, wet soil. Perfectly ripe dark and red fruit and tannins so silky they make you want to cry. Intense smoke on the nose with a cascade of fruit, earth and thyme. Absolutely stunning. — 9 years ago

Smoke, earth and an ethereal lightness from the high-altitude, rocky cliffs of the Valle d'Aosta. This is a Nebbiolo to savor. — 11 years ago

On the nose I knew immediately that I was in for a treat. A very harmonious bouquet of floral notes (lavender especially) mixed with leather and pepper promised good times to follow. On the palate a mouth filling and very balanced cascade of leather and lavender mixed with blackberry fruit and an incredibly long finish tell me that this wine will be enjoyable for a long time to come. — 9 years ago
