Can’t compete with the prose that@Bill Bender and @Michael Meyer have already laid out in their notes, but will agree that this was tremendous. Purchased on release and in perfect shape - great fill and not even a drop of wine on the side of the cork. Very classy despite being decanted for an hour in a cheap carafe in a cooler in the back of a Honda Fit on a 90 degree day. 🍷 — 8 years ago

Illahe's winemaker Brad Ford is a former English and poetry teacher—tasting his wines it's impossible to ignore the prose in them. Pinot Noir used in the 1899 is delivered to the winery by a team of horses, and it's racked by way of a bicycle pump, in short it's a wine made entirely without electricity. Every aspect of it requires hand labor. In the glass a novella of underbrush and brambly fruit, decaying rose petals and crushed stone. Subtle minerality ripples through a red-fruited core, and lingers at the close. — 8 years ago
I really love this Barolo. Atypical savory smoky notes. Elegant, like the best Gadda prose. Super delish. — 9 years ago
great restraint and balance - I ain't one for poetry and I ain't for prose but I sure do get a kick out of that pachyderm rose — 10 years ago

Ain't no one else in California making Carignan this good. Oops, this well.
A crowd pleaser, a great drinker, tell your friends. Subsequent vintages will only get better as Martha watches over these vineyards during the off season. — 8 years ago
This a fantastic juice. Pale straw. Muscat on the nose. Flowers. Fantastic acidity zinging through the structure like a current through a circuit. Enough purple prose, this is a beguiling (and pleasing) blend of riesling and gewürztraminer co-fermented in tank, blended with roughly 10% early muscat from neutral barrel. Single vineyard (Elkton, planted in 1983). Alpine in character. You'd never guess southern Oregon. — 8 years ago
Tart, smooth, slight hop character. Another great dry hopped sour from Grimm. — 9 years ago
