Nose is heavy tobacco with some leather. Very dry. Gina said rawhide leather. Licorice finish. Dirty, funky and earthy…good! Lots of charcter. — a year ago

Spiced jam with a hint of floral notes. Layered and hard to nail down the exact bouquet, but it’s delicious. — 2 years ago

Funky Cab Franc different compared to the traditional Loire Valley. Funky and different in all the best ways though. Refreshing and takes a slight chill well. — 4 years ago

Natural Zinfandel recommended when I asked for something not as tart. Slightly mushroomy / peppery finish, very enjoyable. Purchased from Gemini Bottle Co — 5 years ago

Very enjoyable. Almost to the tee what I would expect for an elegant Zin. Macerated fruit, warm spice, solid tannic structure. Love those old vines. Not overly jammy either. Would love to try an older vintage just to see how it would mature. Had it with plain old cheese, wafer crisps and grapes. Lovely — 7 years ago

Rather oxidative at first but opened up in to a meaty, citrus quality. Best with food. — 8 years ago

Big, masculine Barolo. Drinking well but more nuance will come with age. Literally garage wine. From vines in Bussia to the garage in Monforte. — 2 years ago

Low tannin, medium acid, and a medium-, but smooth and round, mouthfeel made this effortless to drink. Aromas and flavors of cherry, cherry, and every kind of cherry I’ve ever encountered. Simple in the best way, but sort of irresistible too. — 4 years ago

Big, rich, maybe just a little too ripe (as @Tom Casagrande pointed out in a note about an earlier vintage), but still a nice, solid, old vine field blend, Contra Costa County history!! — 2 years ago

Very fruity. Black cherry and blackberry aromas and some notes of cinnamon, then balanced fruit and baking spices that tingle the tongue and linger on. What Goes with That: Fall Sweets Class, pairing: pumpkin pie. — 3 years ago

Clear deep red-violet Boysenberry on sight

Clean sandy berry aroma

Dry, med+ acidity, fine tannin, lighter side of medium body, red fruit and dark berry in the finish. Delicious now, could age. Needs a nice decant, great to watch evolve in glass too (air wakes up the tannins and elevates the red fruit notes)

Hooray and Keep up the good work 140+ yr old vines!
