Grown two miles down the road and 12.9% abv. Very curious. Has a little bit of the drinkability of a Beaujolais, but the dark tannin structure of Napa cabernet. Spicy black pepper, but at this point, no roasted meat character. A little thin but solid tannin, fruit, and acidity. Will love to retry in a few years. — 9 years ago

Pretty impressive beer. Holds its booze in check, but not hidden. — 9 years ago

This is actually a great Imperial IPA with a bit of a "brown" finish. I really like it. This is what you drink in front of the fire pit on a cold California evening while you stare in to the fire pits red burning coals. — 9 years ago

This inaugural vintage blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc Clone 1 and 40% Sauvignon Blanc Musque was co-fermented from selected vineyard rows and hand-harvested fruit. The wines were aged 40% in neutral French oak and 60% in stainless steel. Gooseberry, lemongrass and wet concrete on the nose and a mouthful of lime, white peach and pie crust on the palate. Only 50 cases produced. The future looks bright for this new, family owned, artisan winery. — 9 years ago

Slightly bitter Bret intermingled with slightly tropical hop flavors. Not too big or overpowering, either. A nice balance is achieved in this medium-bodied brew. Well done. — 9 years ago

What is happening over here is an odd experiment that put together two fairly different elements, two opposit vision of life: the out-of-date Marsala "fortified Mistella" wine, aged in old cask which outcome of a pre-industrial and artisan era; therefore a plastic coffee cup synthesized from petroleum process, sad expression of our too-chemical contemporary age we're be subjected to in nowadays world.. I'm certainly on the Marsala De Bartoli side of the road weaving together my hands in the shape of a bowl to drink it like I was a cave man, till the end of time! http://www.marcodebartoli.com/en/ — 9 years ago
