Sipping Fine Wine

9.2

Began as a dream of 2 friends, Ed Selyem & Burt Williams, who pursued weekend winemaking as a hobby in 1979 in a garage in Forestville, CA, and made their first commercial vintage in 1981. Ruby with complex aromas of black & red berries with subtle spice scents. On the palate cherry and strawberry with citrus, cacao, vanilla spice and toasty notes. Aged on French Oak, well balanced, savory, round tannins, lingering nicely ending with some earthy mineral tone, OR style. Has room to age. Very nice! — 8 years ago

This is a difficult wine for me. One that I go back and forth on...do I really, really love it or do I just flat out need it? Today is the answer is I NEED it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's so damn delicious. After all, @Hardy Wallace did win the '93 Massachusetts Hula Hoop championship so it's pretty clear he can do anything he wants. — 9 years ago

Starts off like late be-bop with a great groove ; if you listen to it for a while and pay attention, you realize it's gone full-on fusion, complicated and funky and electric. Do yourself a favor and try wait at least three hours for that last glass (or more). Thanks, @Hardy Wallace ! — 10 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

This is a fabulous wine with toasted oak, chocolate, dark fruit and silky tannins. Nice soft and structured finish. Just received my allocation of the 2013 Brand and I am fighting the urge to open a bottle now. Great job Ed and Deb. — 9 years ago
