Any more oxidation and I couldn't fuckin drink it... Yet it rides that line and everything else about it seems like some kind of commentary on the state of Chardonnay in America. Happy thanksgiving. Perfect wine in my opinion. — 10 years ago

If its a pinot noir, it better come from Oregon. This is R Stuart and company's "big fire" 2013 Pinot Noir. The color is light and clear like a good pinot noir should be. The bouquet is cranberry and spice. The initial palate is a bit sour until it aerates for a good 25 minutes. The initial palate has cherry and apple flavors With a long finish that is dry and almost smokey ! I guess this is why they call it big fire. Not my favorite 20 dollar pinot, but a good choice for something different that you cant seem to get enough of! 10 years ago, I never would've dreamed I would like pinot noir. I was just drinking pinot noir from the wrong state. I highly recommend this one!!!!!! — 10 years ago

If grapes and river rocks had a baby. Roasted corn and freshly washed dog, green strawberries and fig newton. Perfection of balance for a barley. The sweetness is secondary, and that is just right! The acidity loans a deft touch. Creamy and short on the caramel, there is an applewood point, and an alluvial depth. Thanks to Josh for bringing this Lawrence gem to the Sunshine State! #barleywine #freestate #kansas #agedbeer — 10 years ago

Super dark and deep mixed blacks. Tons of concentrated dark and purple fruits; rhubarb, plum, huckleberry compote. The freshest of fresh on the palate, farmer's market, "free sample, I know you're going to love this" fresh. Long but not over staying its welcome, full flavored but not fleshy. Bravo. — 12 years ago
