Galaxy hops is always nice, but could be more prominent. Makes being surrounded by annoying Seahawks fans slightly more tolerable. — 10 years ago

Been getting busy with sours/Bretts as of late and I have to say that this is the most impressive I have had thus far.. Tart but not too, simplistic and bares an edge of decisiveness. The barrel age is on point! — 11 years ago

Champagne Pierre Callot Grande Réserve Premier Cru Blancs de Blancs | Bought through ArtisanVineyards.com | Notes on the bottling disgorged in July 2013 | 12.5% Lovely fragrance of membrillo quince paste, fresh raw coconut, brioche, and tangy citrus peels, this champagne also scratches that itch for pastry notes without heavy oak. Partial malolactic fermentation calms some of the Champenoise flex and leaves a fresh fragrant apple lift on its round finish. Delicious at every turn. — 12 years ago

Much more napa typicity than the 03 estate. Big ripe black berry, black currant, raisin and cranberry notes on the nose. Massive methoxypyrazine presentation, bell pepper vegetal overload. Not in a bad way. It is enveloped by a bitter dark chocolate element that compliments spicy brown sugar oakiness. The palate is big and bold. Full bodied black fruit expression. Big vegetal notes. Solid oak elements with a long satisfying finish. Went super well with short ribs! This wine is very good. — 11 years ago
