You would never know this is a Grenache by looking at it. The color of the wine is super light. But the flavor comes alive on the nose and palate. — 5 years ago

Color is light copper, trending more orange-yellow.

Nose has Clementine peel, cold apricot, orange oil, warm strawberries, sea salt and sliced peaches.

Palate has peach, dried orange, dried sage, dry sliced almonds, minor saline notes and orange zest. Long finish, continually evolving, actually just tossed this intro a decanter as I think it will benefit.

Fun wine, can easily understand it's prowess and popularity, it's in the zone for us as well.

Paired with sugar/salt rubbed Cod cooked in the sous vide bath, then topped with sauteed shallots/capers, aside parmesan/panko spring peas. So yum! — 5 years ago

Copper-peach color in our glasses.

Nose has day old orange peel, fresh lemon zest, flaked sea salt and wilted daffodils.

Palate has juiced strawberry and Clementine orange, partially dried cherry, green table grape skin and a lightly chalky finish.

Really singing after about 90m open.

Proof positive that you can't predetermine the quality of a wine by the quality of its label. — 5 years ago

Red gold body with a Matisse sketched white ring and merengue peaked, sheet-lacing. Clean citrus nose exhibiting clementine and dried pineapple, Meyer lemon and a faint funky-persimmon and lotus. There is something pleasant about the naturalness of the aromatics here with dried lemon verbena and Calloway seed. Orange and tangerine eclipse the lemon on the palate and add sweet grapefruit, and a clove note that tightly binds the whole. The bitterness being mitigated by the maple was brilliant here! Makes the Dogfish 90 seem clunky in comparison. I am a fan of this manifestation. Careful crafting and a simple solution to tune aggressive hops. There is no maple flavor btw. .

Bin end rosé day, the final bottles on another of our longer term aging experiments on value wines.

Nose has Creamsicle orange sherbet, dried peach, dried raspberry, dried papaya, orange slices, white flowers and crushed granite in moist soil.

Palate has tangerine gummy bears, honey, fresh Clementine, fresh apricot, white flowers with perfect acidity, long finish, mild sweetness. A great bottle with life in the bottle still remaining!

Wednesday Wine Committee. 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All tasted blind as usual.

I’ve had this a couple times now and notes are consistent. Really enjoy this style...touch “oxidative” with yeasty and caramelized nougat notes. Very tart initially before some lemon zest and clementine cake appeared. Seems like there is Reserve wine in it. Not sure of price, but this is quite enjoyable. I called this older NV champagne. — 6 years ago

Knife-throwing act where the knives are carved from peppercorns and the target board is quilted cherry. Westworld's Clementine casually offers herself as a target, laughing and alternating between espresso and whiskey shots. — 7 years ago

Dessert wine, extraordinary 97% Grenache, 3% Syrah syrupy Sweet but not cloying, fruit leather with sophistication — 8 years ago

9.1

Wine 10/12 (Riesling)

Nose has tart green apple, Mandarin orange slice, orange zest, under-ripe peach, slate, wet sandstone and over-ripe pear.

Palate has sugared lemon slice, salted green apple, Clementine zest, Tangerine slice with mild acidity, wet slate and slightly dry, long finish. Always a solid wine pretty much each vintage, the benefit of a Saar multi-vineyard blend, balance by portion (blending) control.

Once again it is notable that I have made one full trip around the Sun earlier this week. We had our small, social bubble team to the house for celebrating my getting older and somewhat less flexible in advancing age...Whatever will be done when I creast 50? Well, at least it's several years until needing manage that concern.

We enjoyed well-salted Ribeyes (Kinderhook Farm - Valatie, NY, prepared 48h in advance), turning to a beautiful medium-rare after a mere 12m of grill time and smashed, small red potatoes with capers (yeah try it, don't judge me yet). None of the bottles were particularly planned as 'steak wines'; we didn't care as it really was a wine nerd-fest of grapes/regions, from Burgenland, Austria to Brittany, France. Wine and food were on individual plateaux today. This was the vom Boden Spring Experience case, expertly curated by Stephen Bitterolf, and well received by our tasting crew. — 5 years ago

100% Sangiovese.

Nose has freshly sliced clementine, crushed black raspberry and wet minerals.
Palate is fresh and lively, citrus, red fruits with light green herbal notes and powdered sugar on the medium finish.
