Very strong dark fruits hit very fast and drop quickly. Low tannin. Mild finish. Very drinkable. — 7 years ago

Cab Franc is so underrated. Usually like French ones better but this one is awesome for Ca. Still has that vegetal quality but rounded out with tons of big Cali vibes fruit. Medium tanin. Yum. — 8 years ago

Great blend. I like dry and this has just the right amount. Typically Bordeaux drinker but this is perfect alternative. — 9 years ago

2008 - The aromatics are not pleasant and quite off putting when cork pulled and poured into glass. Decanted it and enjoyed over the entire night with small pours... amazing what a little air and lots of swirls does to this wine but each pour into the glass maintained that musty smell for the first few moments and then Poof... gone. Loved the ride and wine! — 9 years ago

Loads of showy, aromatic, pretty, and mostly red fruit. Has stern mineral backbone hidden underneath. Started drinking nicely after about 2 hours. I would not open another bottle anytime soon. I’d say bury it in the cellar for at least 5 years before trying but it may not hit its stride until 10+ years. There’s so much here, I think this’ll be fantastic once developed. 93 pts indicating the quality of the wine and its potential, not this drinking experience. — 8 years ago

Baked pear and hazelnut. Honey and lean acidity on the finish. Wonderful with cheese plate and flatbread snacks. Yay Tasmania -- neat expression of cool climate PG. — 7 years ago

Oh my lord. What an extremely balanced, smooth wine. The aroma/nose is perfect, youthful fruits and berries, oak; but the taste is where it's really at. Sublime, smooth, nothing prominent, nothing hidden, all of them sitting in a equal row, like an extremely high end pair of headphones, nearly clinical. High alcohol content, low viscosity, translucent ruby color, presence of gas. What an absolutely incredible wine -- and it's from California!!! — 8 years ago
