This is another terrific wine from William Allen. Slightly honeyed nose with a chalky note that comes through on the palate as well. Add apricot, quince, and wildflowers and you have a delicious wine. I paired this with some Maryland Rockfish and the match was a hit. — 7 years ago

Have not had this in about 3 years. Definitely needed to check in. Stunning nose. Sweet spices, bursting red cherry fruit, wet earth, sweet well integrated oak. Stunning aromas. Wow this has turned around. Palate is elegant and complex with tremendous depth. Sweet sappy fruit and a tiny bit of hard yet sweet tannin that needs maybe 1 hour to unfurl. Terrific intensity and freshness. Light yet packed and very complex. This has aged into something beautiful. — 9 years ago

Pale lemon in colour. Quite aromatic with some grassy notes with a hint of pineapple. A lean focussed palate with some astringency at the finish. — 10 years ago

Held onto this 2010 at the winemakers suggestion. Excellent wine once it opens up! Rich tropical nose of dried pineapple mouth is tart and suggestive of unripe stone fruit, slight tannic finish that lingered for minutes! Well done @William Allen! — 10 years ago

Summer cocktail disguised as a wine. This is actually made with Riesling and I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. Very fruit but not too sweet to consider it a dessert wine.
The setting was idyllic: sitting on the winery’s porch with a summer breeze with the mountains in the distance. I brought a bottle back for the office to try so it’ll be interesting to see if this still holds up without the countryside surroundings. — 7 years ago

Unofficial Thursday HdR opening dinner with a loose “non-Rhône” theme.. this was actually a one-off, not to be released natural Mourvèdre from Travis Allen, hence the upside down label. Stunning. — 8 years ago

(La Cave de Famille Herrmann, JA's childhood friend). Goldfish straw. Deep, gouttey, copper filing nose. Intensely mineral and richly earthy. Not at all tropical. Impressive nose. Extremely serious on palate, masculine, even austere. Not very 2006, in a good way. Mineral, densely textured. Long but needs many years to really blossom. Very fine. — 10 years ago
