That’s some nice drinkin’ stuff (circa 2017). Thanks to the local somm, Steve, at our Whole Foods for the recom... it was their last bottle and he sacrificed. — 6 years ago

This wine has so much going on. It’s like a life-form amalgam of animal/vegetable/mineral. Color is like plasma. Nose has raw grass-fed beef, liquid stones, and mentholic Ben-Gay thing, resinous herbs, lime, charcoal ash, and tangy boysenberry. Seriously. Lots of shit happening. It is mouthfilling and loaded with clingy, soft tannin, and has bloody, minerally, dark berry skin flavors for miles. Long finish and good acids. Only 13.9%, which, these days, passes for low alcohol. Terrific wine. — 7 years ago

Perfumed kirsch, thyme and lavender. Ethereal, but with good tension and intensity on the mid-palate. The poor man's James Berry. — 9 years ago

Floral, pear and apple. Very minerally with some spice. Roussanne seems to be the dominant part. — 9 years ago

Mind blowing chard. Unfiltered, concrete ferment, 12.2abv, reminds me of aged Ganevat. Nutty, lemony and cheesy — 10 years ago

Outside of Chateau Simone, is there a better autumnal rosé? I dig the tannins that snuck in. — 11 years ago

9.1

Red Fruit raspberry on the nose...little spice too. Darker black berries on palate with complexity...could use an hour of decanting to really open up. Medium bodied wine...good example of Gaps Coastal Pinot. — 10 years ago

Brandon Boesch

9.4

Good fruit but the herbs, earth, and flowers really sing. Very fresh and tasty fruit even 6 years on. What an awesome wine. If you find it for 16 bucks or less through the wind gap sell off, pick up a few bottles. — 6 years ago

10yrs young! Wow, I would have guessed this was 1 to 2 yrs old. Bright youthful red fruits with earth and flowers. Really good! — 6 years ago

9.2

From CA vineyard royalty. Improves as it warms and with air time. This is a lesson in balance. Not a steely chard full of tropical flavors yet retains its minerality. Not an oak laced butter bomb but merely hints that it saw a minimal amount of oak in it's lifetime. Only 12.2% which is incredibly refreshing in a chard, especially one from a warmer climate. Tragic that 2013 was the last vintage before the chard vines were ripped out of the vineyard. — 8 years ago

Standing up for a day was not quite long enough, but managed to get most of the gunk to settle out. Best at cellar temp, and a really lovely match with spring vegetable fettuccine. Herbs and marmalade and tea and great texture. That color tho... — 9 years ago
