A fine example of why I search out Spanish reds when I don't want to spend a lot but desire a more complex and interesting wine. Spices, blackberries, graphite, black cherries...lingering finish...richer fruit with that touch of the land itself that I adore. A new favorite for sure. — 9 years ago

THIS... is... Seriously. Good. Phucking. shtuff. Surprisingly good...? Maybe. Luckily good..? Perhaps. Unless you've met Dirty: Which most of the wine drinking USA has -but, rather, intentionally fucking good. AND -possibly luckily too -as long as luck has something to do with exceptionally talented farming combined with tremendous desire(s) to make vibrant and ridiculously love-able fermented grape juice of pure integrity and a casually particular design. This wine is that friend you only get to see once a year, that one you cannot wait to see again. The wine is too young to rate with any opinion other than Rawesome, and while I've only had one bottle, I've certainly not had enough to offer an opinion against Rawsome -therefore tasting notes be damned -yet, this can be said: here is a clean wine, lacking brett or VA or other 'flaws'; a bright, refreshing jubilant anthem of untainted wine, an ode to a grape that will likely become California's bastard child once popularity hits and Dirty & Rowdy prices climb to astronomical, near Tempier-like pricing and ficcichlty to come by. (I liked ficcichlty over difficulty since spellcheck kept it purposely so did I.). Oh wait, they're already ficcichlt to come by. Damn it. — 12 years ago

power, youthful purple color for a 2003. Deep and powerful and energetic. Spearmint Raspberries, beets, rhubarb, a bit flat or simple, lacking the complexity I would desire from such a price point — 10 years ago

Trousseau, Jura...if you haven't tried it yet do it. This particular one was a really beautiful perfect representation of it. Elegant...which is great because this can sometimes be a challenging wine for people who aren't familiar with it. — 10 years ago

It has the typical boldness you desire in a Cab yet smooth at the same time. Yummy and very drinkable. — 10 years ago

We had this tonight in memory of our friend and winemaking colleague Eric Dunham of Dunham Cellars in Walla Walla who sadly passed away. I know it's not his wine, but I also know he would've loved its green chocolate nose and rambunctious berry flavors. Rest in peace ED. Say hello to Robert Mondavi! — 11 years ago
