Beautiful expression of the terroir and grape—so alive. Great acidity. Cherry and strawberry primarily. Medium-plus tannins. Chalky earthiness married to faint but heavy flowers—violet and hibiscus. The faintest whiff of cedar and tobacco hits as one drops the glass. — 5 years ago
I love this wine.
Tart and funky, a little sour but also mellow. — 6 years ago

A hell of a wine. Amazingly deep jewel tone for how clear it is. The flavor has cranberries, rosehips, and bitter orange and a slight lemon finish, giving it an almost Campari-like quality in wine form. Beauty and substance. — 8 years ago

A sweet and fruity start that leaves little bitterness. A semi-spicy finish. Cherries and peppercorn. — 6 years ago
this reminds me of one thing: a sonic cherry limeade. smells like bright strawberries and cherries, tastes like an explosion of tart acidic fizzy cherry-lime with a yeasty aftertaste. im in love (not imported) — 6 years ago
Blackberry, raspberry, black cherry, vanilla, licorice and oak. Medium-bodied and well-integrated tannins. — 7 years ago
Dark cherry and a dash of herbs, with a savory middle and finish, excellent concentration, and terrific with a duck breast with a beet sauce. — 7 years ago
Great paired with a local meal. What grows together goes together after all — 8 years ago

Hot off the FedEx truck and absolutely crushing it. Brilliant sparkling clear...notes of lemon meringue, pear, and tart green apple...light weight on the palate, but bright lively and thirst quenching... glad to have a few more... but thinking of 6 or 12 more. Doesn’t taste New World at all...simply an extraordinary bottle of wine. The longer the wine was open the better it got...Reinforces my love of Willamette Valley Chardonnay. If you like restrained, complex, impeccably balanced Chardonnay... run, don’t walk to the website before it’s gone! — 5 years ago
