Really balanced for California. Coffee and Rosemary on toast, with granite and black cherry. Medium mouthfeel exhibits a drill hole of black currant surrounded by topsoil and stone. 360 degrees of tannins with a crystal powder texture that melts away to a delicate smoky black pepper and dark cherry sustainance. #howellmountain #rutherford #pestonifamily — 10 years ago

Love this beer, it was first released only on draft years ago, then in Bombers, now in 12oz six packs( yes!!!) one of my favorite double IPA's , 10% AVB do not taste, but it is the hops, Crystal hops, less acidity, so it is less bitter, so smooth, but big and hoppy, with citrus and tropical notes, my kind of double IPA, "Sculpin" on crack, Outstanding!!! — 10 years ago

Voluptuous but still manages to display that crystal cut Chablis character...just enough. — 10 years ago

2002 vintage Rose. Light salmon, copper hue. Chalk, wet rock to the fore. Red currant and cranberry. Slight blossom notes. Iron fragments. On the palate, very lean and balanced as is the Crystal style. Not the concentration of the white 2002. If there's any tannins here, you have to focus to notice them. Maybe at the back end there's a touch of weight from the tannins. Very young - too young. Don't touch for 7-10 years. Makings of a great wine as acidity is so balanced with the fruit. Love it. NB: Pinot cold macerated for 4 days - to extract colour but little tannins. Then blended with Chardonnay and co-fermented. Quite unique. No added red wine per se. — 10 years ago

Incredibly zesty and crystal like for a wine so southern in Burgundy ! It reminds me of Chablis in terms of style for the body and citrus notes and Macon for the slight toasty flavour and roundness in mouth. Delicious and refreshing. — 10 years ago

Purple quartz chunks. Black raspberry crystal formations. In the depths of this synesthesiac cave there are also um black peppercorn stalagmites? Compulsively drinkable & articulate. — 10 years ago

Le Due Terre 2011 Sacrisassi
Fruity Colli Orientali DOC Bianco
Sticky briliant deep golden yellow color. I found crystal of tartaric acid.
I could enjoy gorgeous first scents of a rum raisin, rich barrel, a pineapple, ripe banana, honey, syrup, apple and orange. Then nuance of minerals, cider, or carbonic acid, and hint of a flint and sulfurous flavor made it rich and very complex.
It started with less sweetness and crispy rich acid. Salty or minerals made after taste hard and rich.
Was it a little early to drink?
