Wow. This wine is READY. Pours very dark into the glass. Thick meniscus. Nose that is intense: blackberry, blueberry, pencil shavings, roasted almonds, oregano. Enters with ripe blackberries and blueberry pie immediately up front. Middle of roasted coffee bean, herbs, roasted almonds, mint, black tea. Very eclectic and powerful. Finishes with a graphite chalkiness and powerful and mostly blueberry finish with black pepper. Tannins are still quite grippy, although I imagine the edges were more jagged on this one 5 years ago. WOW. Drink. Now. !! — 6 years ago
2016. Smokey Hollow. Old Mission Peninsula. What a very pleasant and enjoyable surprise. This was a light tart and refreshing wine. Light golden color and light citrus aroma. A little sweetness and apple flavor that went very well with an eclectic dinner including ribs with Carolina sauce and red pepper, Pa Dutch sweet & sour Mac salad m, bok choi and kimchee. Tough menu but the wine came through with flying colors. Really very good! — 7 years ago

100% Vermentino
Light crisp and refreshing. Good food wine, as well as stand alone sipper. Character is light, golden straw, Sierra Foothill terrior. 13.3 ABV. Still relevant and very enjoyable on day three of being opened. Discovered at Ruthe Roberts Wine Collective.

Burnished red copper in colour. A natural orange wine fermented on skins in clay amphorae in Friuli. An eclectic white blend of Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc Pinot Grigio and Riesling fermented separately and aged together. Oxidative notes. On the palate very textural and full bodied with Quince and dried Apricot notes. Quite tannic for a white wine. Amazing intensity of flavour - probably too much. A challenging wine and to be honest an acquired taste. I have one left from 2006 which I will have in a few years. — 6 years ago
Opened up nicely. Good pairing with eclectic menu. — 7 years ago
A stellar wine that keeps giving over time in the glass. This is a very eclectic Pinot in my opinion because of all the different flavors that emerge over a few hours, to many to name.
