Lampyridae Vineyard's Communication Block is the highest altitude vineyard in Napa at 2,500+ ft atop Mt. Veeder. You can almost taste subtle notes of mountain clouds & fog! — 11 years ago
...and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open, and show riches
Ready to drop upon me; that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again. — 11 years ago
Funky moldy orange skin. Rose bush. Roasted cherry, lemon and black olive. Lovely tannins that form virtual dust clouds on the palate. — 10 years ago
Tight on the pop but opened up quickly. Great beach wine with an interesting weight and complexity--not your standard mid day sipping rose. Open this when the clouds start to come in and you put on your hoodie....you are ready for a night of drinking.... — 11 years ago
Strong oaky Chardonnay nose but extremely light on the palette - apples are the dominant flavour so it has a bit of a still cider characteristic, almost Jura like - only 11.5 - I like! — 12 years ago
Schamsburg tasty bright strawberry!!
Beaune cherry clouds! — 10 years ago
Sweet tarts, the pink cherry ones, and just a hint of spree, the coating, that initial metallic sour shock. Head change keeps getting foggy...the cloud spirits are strong in here. I keep thinking I'm tasting chalk but then I keep feeling like I'm tasting ocean clouds. I'm having a fun time with this right now at work but this bottle calls for a day of rain or a windy pause in the hills. The confusion of this drink is tricky. It took twice around to have these evaluations and perhaps its ready now but then again maybe the fog becomes something pretty in the end...but when? — 10 years ago

Damn fine. Bright & alive on the palate, smoky cider & slate. Serious. Thoughtful. Dark grey mineral core. Beautiful late summer rain & wet wool clouds. — 10 years ago
