Columbia County 2.0: interesting drinking this day after a German Pinot, as I found them surprisingly related. A fave Beaujo producer’s Morgon, also a cooler tone & elegant. Blackberries & cassis, darker berries and a fine grittiness to integrated tannins. I like this drinking window (6 yrs) but imagine several if not more left. — 2 years ago
Grenache blend with Syrah and Carignan. Dark and brambly, lush, lavender, baking spice and black pepper, stewed prunes, mineral tannins. 45-yr-old, organically farmed vines. NY Times 20 under $20, Feb. 2020. From Flatiron Wines. — 5 years ago
Fabulous pinot noir to accompany our or of the ordinary surf and turf. Beautiful wine, on its own and with a meal. What a wonderful discovery! — 6 years ago
On the tail end of its prime window, but still hitting. Like a mealy yellow apple, not quite browned. Has cider notes but plenty of acid in the mouth for vibrancy. Laser lemon cleaner with toasted oak becomes candied kumquat and sweet clementine.
Theres a lot of beautiful weight and texture and raw power that comes out to play as you let it warm. — 8 months ago
Interesting. Some age on it now and a lovely amber color. Rich and oxidative. Not where my tastes have evolved but really quite good. — 3 years ago
First on the nose was ripe stone fruits, peach especially. On palate, some minerality comes through and the mouthfeel from time on lees is delicious and creamy. Very long and pleasant finish. — 4 years ago
Really good but also would be good with another year or two of age. Complex - dark fruit, dirt, some tannins and more acid than a typical benovia. We are eating with pork chops and slaw and it’s a perfect match. — 8 months ago

Love this wine — 4 years ago
A lot going on the nose. Red fruit, black fruit, meat, leather. Would be a good wintertime wine. Too bad they’re sold out at Kermit Lynch. Devin gave it 💯 — 5 years ago
I was curious about longevity of this wine. Popped and poured and just delicious. — 5 years ago
