Love non-ipas. Think this saison needs a little more farmhouse funk. Different yeast maybe. — 10 months ago

This is a delicious Petite Sirah from Russian River Valley.

Showing a really gorgeous nose.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Dry and extremely fruity on the palate with a nice mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, raisins, earth, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, herbs, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, dark chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 8-year-old is drinking very nicely now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years. Showing nice complexity at this point. Rich and extracted.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after an hour of airtime.

Spicy and entertaining. Fruit forward and engaging. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of 90% Petite Sirah with Zinfandel and Syrah. A small production of only 6 barrels.

14.6% alcohol by volume .

Deep ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose with blueberries, raspberries, sweet cherries, earth, vanilla, wood, licorice, vegetables, pencil lead, wet leaves, black tea, dark coffee, tobacco leaf, spices and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with black currants, black plums, oak, vanilla, licorice, herbs, vegetables, spices, peppercorn, tobacco, dark chocolates, beef jerky, earth and cola.

Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cranberries.

This is a very enjoyable Rhone blend from Russian River Valley in California. Spicy and fruity with lots of earth notes that makes it interesting.

Nicely balanced with nice complexity and a great mouthfeel. Feels like a blend of Old and New World wine, which is always engaging and pleasant to drink.

Drinking very nicely now, as a five-year-old, and will age nicely in the next 5 years. I really enjoyed the tangy ending.

Good by itself or with food, and needs an hour to open up properly.
After 2 hours of airtime, the nose really opened up and it was so nice to smell on it for a while.

A blend of 58% Grenache 22% Mourvedre, 18% Syrah and 2% Petite Sirah. A small production of only 315 cases produced.

I paired it with Brie cheese and roasted almonds.

14.6% alcohol by volume.

Lees and acidity. That is the crux of it. Creates some fascinating flavor profiles- like nibbling on a Dogwood branch after it lost its leaves in the fall. Very interesting wine that is begging to be laid down in a cellar and only brought out in the next decade- it's a bit heavy handed now with the yeast and acid but has massive aging potential that I think will reveal some fascinating flavors. — 2 years ago

Nice Pilsner that opens conventionally and then has toasted bread flavors interesting — 5 years ago
