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

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

Perhaps it's the insanely aromatic, delicious, soul-satisfying bacon and heirloom beans that my husband paired it with...or maybe it's just that good. Perfumed, fresh fruit, structured, complex, juicy, mineraly (not an official word) I'm happy. — 10 years ago

Needs a couple hours of aeration. Don't jump the gun. And then...EPIC. Face....melted.

It's Niellucciu + Sciaccarellu + some co-planted Corsican heirloom varieties, vinified and raised in amphorae. No SO2 at harvest or bottling. Pure, velvety, deep, caressing southern Corsican masterpiece from a boss who continues to improve each vintage. — 10 years ago

Had it warm (against all rules!) but on a recommendation. Really cool. Started to take on the character of a beer, or a fuller bodied red. Would buy a case and serve all winter. — 11 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

Soter's 2012 Mineral Springs 'White Label' Pinot Noir has a rather unique story in that it is crafted from an unidentified "heirloom" clone. Who cares what the clone is, the results are spectacular. The perfect combination of concentration and finesse, the nose is a romp through a damp and earthy forest glen, fields of lavender, and then to the market, to find juicy blackberries and blueberries at their peak. Equally lush, almost brooding on the palate, with underlying layers of minerality and spice. Pinot reserved for the white label is aged 12 months on 50% new French oak, with 30 days extended maceration and minimal racking. 14.0% ABV — 10 years ago
