The 129th year of this vineyard nailed it. This is Wine Spectator #15 from their 2018 100 Best wines. This is aging well. Dark purple color from 19 wine varietals. This is a special wine! — 5 years ago

Popped for Zoom tasting with Morgan Peterson and his father, Joel Peterson. Very stylish well-mannered mature field blend. Wine was lighter than expected both in the glass and on the palate. Silky smooth and light textured, with plenty of ripe red fruit and enough acidity to effortlessly dance the wine across the tongue. Long, textured finish. The wine is fully evolved and drinking well now. Don’t see any reason to wait. Cheers for two lives given over to love of wine...Joel and Morgan... this glass is raised in your honor...Salute! — 5 years ago

Amazing wine/ drank 2006 reserve- this wine can age longer I believe. Overall a very unique wine with tons of character- the tamisco grape is unique to the coastal region of Portugal - one of the old heirloom vines- and because I like thin mineral reds this is my dream come true for sipping wine! If you have a chance of getting this wine- Buy it by the case and hold on to it - very unique and should be more recognized for the hen that it is. — 8 years ago

2004 Beaucastel in magnum was perfect with an heirloom turkey. Needed about 90 minutes of air then opened up beautifully. Great mouthfeel, red fruit, pepper. — 9 years ago

Gracefully aging and med-full-bodied, this Pinot Noir is at its apex and loaded with nutty dark red fruit and balsam wood. Elegant as all get out. Drink up. — 5 years ago

Label says Homestead Cider, Dry, 8% ABV, produced and bottled in Port Townsend WA, but “crafted from heirloom apples grown in homestead orchards in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula”. Pale yellow with green tinge, hazy clarity with pinpoint bubbles. Slight head after pour, ring of foam and bubbles persists on edge of glass. Funk and complex apple profile in nose. Rich dry complex flavors, difficult to pull apart but my initial reaction was “Wow”. Style is consistent with a farmhouse or craft style production, but very well done. Good stuff, rich, fruity and at times it does taste like applesauce (Gravensteins?), with an interesting combination of acidity, flavors and aromas, but definitely dry. It does seems pricey given the simple package and label, and the bottle is elegant with a resealable closure so it’s also reusable but yes, there is really great cider inside. Worth seeking out, and worth every penny spent. — 6 years ago

This is the the "has great potential if......" full palate, rich, maybe too drinkable, lacks structure to be a really good wine but it's not a quaffer by any stretch. — 8 years ago

Smells like a just underripe heirloom tomato topped with sea salt, cranberries, and hints of oil paints. Tastes like cherries in a cigar box, with soft tannins that sneak up on you and hang around long after the sip. Elegant with an edge. — 9 years ago

Prefect partner to opah and roasted heirloom carrots. The skin contact works especially well with a little lemon-butter couscous. — 9 years ago

The 18 is DRC quality a unicorn there is no other Pinot like it right now. It takes hour/days to reveal its layers and power. @40 min: Tannins soft and super well managed no rough edges here a hint of mint, faint touch of black tea bitters, herbaceous @ 15h: More round no oxidative disturbances.
Dark cherry, tart and closed. Finally @7days under Argon: Black Forest meadow, tannins resolved, glorious fruit, long. Dark black heirloom black forest cherries. The 18 E & M Muschelkalk beats out at Pinot I had in the last years . “I wish you where here”. — 5 years ago

Nose is stingingly mineral. Some brioche. Some green apple.

Palate has some very good clean fruit. Nice yeast. Mineral but not super mineral. Very fresh. Almost like the best clean green apple ever. Like an heirloom green apple.

This is a very well made wine for what it is. For under $50 it’s a good deal. Over that it’s not complex enough to justify the price.

I dont know why I’m having this with sausage and peppers. It’s been that kind of day.

Undeniably California fruit and style but balanced with a solid amount of tertiary aromas and flavors emerging behind a powerful red fruit and peppery bite — 9 years ago
