2013 Dirty & Rowdy Skinner White Oak Flats Mouvédre. What Keith said and Yum! — 10 years ago
Gorgeously dirty and fantastic with the main for Easter (lamb moussaka). That cedary thing I love with S Rhône Grenache. Classic. Really like this producer. — 10 years ago
Alder Springs makes Thingz with Zings! Does anything come from this place that isn't a laser or lightning bolt? Must make hair stand on end when you walk through it. I can just picture @Hardy Wallace picking his grapes looking like he had his hand on a van de Graff generator... — 8 years ago
Nicely balanced. Not too sweet. Paired with Indian curry — 9 years ago
Couldn't pass up writing on this one, which I think we tasted in the egg. Very well balanced, glad the oak is muted, dare I say a very un-California Chardonnay? Salmon, quiche, etc....I wish we had gobs more to open in years to come. Hardy, any library wines? — 9 years ago

Yum. Needs a lot of decanting. — 9 years ago
I'm not sure how @Hardy Wallace gets so much flavor and complexity packed into something that is as light and graceful as this. Cranberry, rhubarb, rocks, earth and mushroom. Orange zest. Smoked meat. I need too figure out how to not drink these for a while, to see what they become. — 10 years ago
It's a classy call girl wine, with just enough STDs to make her dirty — 11 years ago
Aromas of mushrooms, underbrush, cassis, blackberries, old leather boots, volate acidity, crushed stones, and black pepper. Rustic, dirty, earthy, dark fruits, leather, dark chocolate, and some rancio notes. Weak but some rustic beauty to it. — 12 years ago
