Fantastic unfiltered natural wine. Cloudy rich yellow hue. Old world characteristics on the nose, earth,funk. Complex and textured wine with flavors of pear, grapefruit, balanced with firm acidity and a rich slightly oily taste. Adventurous! — 9 years ago

Aged le Montrachet infused with elegant bubbles -- this is what Krug Clos de Mesnil 1985 is. Toasted baguette, caramelized sugar, apricot honeysuckle, pear and honey dew and a hint of cognac. — 9 years ago
Delicious! Lots of flavor while still remaining a light and easy beer — 11 years ago
Moss and bramble on the nose. Gives the mental image of morning dew and spring foliage. In the mouth, tart acidity drives this wine with a pleasant herbaceous finish. — 11 years ago
Good balance between acidity, tannins and fruit. Fields in morning dew, with hints of crush fallen acorns and pepper in the nose. Pepper, blackberries and willow reed flavors. — 12 years ago
Thick and sweet like honey, slight hints of cinnamon and clove. — 13 years ago
One of my all time favorite Rosé. The 2016 vintage was super peach! Straight white peach, apricot, honey dew, cherry blossom, lime. Still great sharp acid on tip of tounge. Not as dry as the 2015 but a fantastic sangiovese rosé — 8 years ago
I am a big fan of Garys' Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. This wine does not disappoint. Lots of spice and red fruit on the nose. Great flavors of dew berries, raspberries, and earthiness. A nicely balanced wine with firm tannins and great acidity working hand in hand with each other. A really good wine from a "Grand Cru" domestic vineyard. — 9 years ago
Round two, decantered showed almost a different wine. Reserve style yet no definitive oak character. Sweet corn, fresh pineapple. Driving and fresh acidity, focus and concentration are not lacking and the flavour profile goes from fruit salad to bamboo shoot, from celery to cut herbs in the space of seconds. — 9 years ago
Honey dew. Honey suckle. Orange or lime rind. Stinky cheese rind, a tiny bit of sulfur behind the beauty that adds a complexity.

This sake is in a tough spot. Overshadowed by its big brother 23, and conversely ripped on by some tasters because it is Dassai. Judging it merely on taste and quality it is outstanding. Guava, apricot, some stewed bamboo shoots and a touch of black licorice. A touch on the sweet side but very balanced, and a precise dry finish.
I feel it is Dassai's best offering. — 10 years ago
Another anniversary, another bottle of '04 Champagne (not that I'm complaining). A unique Blanc de Blanc that has a color almost reminiscent of Mountain Dew (yes, that yellow). Biscuit dough, green apple, green pears and a flinty minerality greet the nose. Sharp acidity and a strong minerality flash through the palette, followed by candied apple and yeasty dough. The balance seems a bit off, but that doesn't take away from the sheer enjoyment of this Champ. The lingering finish will have you thinking about this wine long after you've sipped. — 10 years ago
Light sb style, with clean finish. Not too strong though, almost too delicate. Would be nice with a tiny bit more fruit (FYI--I am not a fan of NZ sb wines, they taste like licking the inside of a mountain dew aluminum can) — 11 years ago
Very pale yellow. Nose is expressive with apples, orange blossoms, honey dew melon, and just a blade of lemon grass. It's medium to full bodied with a silky mouthfeel, but it's still zingy and lively as hell. An explosion of tart apples and lemon lollipop command the palate, with mineral and fresh garden herbs. It finishes tart but with a heavy coating that lets the flavors linger. — 9 years ago

A lovely blend of key lime and green apple, a touch of honey dew, intensely flavored. A touch of chalk and kernel, the latter mostly aroma. High acid, medium to light body, strong finish initially but clips off. — 9 years ago

Youthful but already giving a lot, this is the greatest Baracca produced so far, and likely ever. Astonishing aromatic complexity on the nose where grilled Meyer lemons, honey dew melon, autumn pear and papaya fruit are complemented by oriental spice, loads of greenish herbs and wet chalky soil additions. On the palate, it wraps you in a luxury cashmere blanket where hints of barrel tannins add depth to the lush, perfectly ripe lemons and juicy green apple flavors, expanding in a rarely seen fashion. Multi-layered and crazy long, this sets a new standard not only for Miani and the region as such, but also for the variety, as this sort of complexity arrives very seldom and when it does, it usually addresses Burgundy's finest Crus. Amazing length bringing freshly squeezed lemon juice and chalky spice,, adding lift and sincere interest. Surpassing any Chardonnay in my life, so far. 100 p. — 10 years ago

Yummy, reminiscent of honey dew without the sweetness. — 11 years ago
The cool 2011 vintage really helped preserve the acidity on this delicious wine, whose perfume is of grasses, bamboo, and an intriguing note of candied pineapple/guava. More of the same on the palate with very good body, excellent acidity, and a beautiful long finish. — 12 years ago
