Black fruit and feral, iron character with barnyard. — 10 years ago
Almost perfect. So smooth bit feral and wild at the same time. — 11 years ago
Exactly what I wanted this to be- funky, feral, cab franc- bret-y, barnyard, and grassy, with a deep berry core. Was perfect from a 2001 magnum at an outdoor brunch on a warm CA day. Uber-natural winemaking, on the edge of what I can classify as "enjoyable" — 12 years ago
This is in screaming Mimi mode right now. Super cherry on the nose with some nice background earthy. Refined and just beautiful. Palaste is silky, sweet and a little bit wild and feral with lovely tannins and serious structure. Lovely cherry on the finish. Needs 30 minute I think. — 8 years ago

A little feral, backed up good candy fruit. — 10 years ago
On the bigger, feral side of CA Mourvèdre. No light bodied, citrus backed wine here. A lovely foil for rack of lamb. — 11 years ago

Fig, coffee grounds, and cocoa on the nose. Feral but clean, with a long, sweet finish. Good now through 2020. — 10 years ago
Deep ruby. Note of paint?? Definitely smells like forest floor and rivers. Feral, spicy, even a touch foxy. Salty, violet-touched fruit with dark cherries, plums and backbone of spicy stoniness. Fine tannins, with light grip. Quite nice; a salty, deeper male style. — 11 years ago
Like a hard-edged, rustic Santenay. But not without charm. Woodsy, feral and bright. Would pair well with food, if you're into that sort of thing. — 11 years ago
Long life ahead for sure. That said a bit feral at first with polish coming later. — 12 years ago
Doctor No
Opened with a bit of leather, brett, animal sweat, dark cherry. Cleaned up and rounded up into a more Powerful-but-middleweight cherry-fig-saddle leather-tobacco thing that was elegant and feral at the same time. For a wine so young this felt well-developed, and the lack of oak is refreshing and makes the wine even more transparent. — 8 years ago
