The acidity is like a punch in the face - in a good way! Very dry with a bit of sunny currant. — 7 years ago
Unoaked. So the fruit is full forward. A bit rustic and rough around the edges, but it certainly has flavor! Looking forward to future vintages as this wine shows terroir. — 7 years ago
Uniqueness describes this wine perfectly. Almost completely clear with a intense glimmer, the nose fills with super ripe sour cherries and creamy raspberries. The palate is filled with strawberry vanilla cream, nectarines, and sweet dried cherries. It keeps the Barbara characteristics, but shows sweetness and a vibrant sense of rebirth. Spring is here, and this gives you a great transition from winter to spring. I could see this pairing with spicy food perfectly. Only on a Tuesday! #nakedwines — 8 years ago
Very good. Delicious fruity finish — 8 years ago
Delicious. Nose is weird, but in a good way. Red licorice and chalk. Nice acidity, tart red cherry. Finishes slightly chewy with some earth at moderate length. Very enjoyable! Great vintage in #flxwine — 9 years ago
Fresh lemon and lime, wet stones and a feint dead grass aroma. Next level acidity on this at the moment. Would be good to see her in another cutla — 9 years ago

Really tasty merlot !!great job naked wines. Lots of fruit with mild tannins. Nice aromas — 10 years ago
Awesome complex pinot. Jim Clendenon's never done me wrong. Aromatic, perfumy, racy floral nose- rose, orange blossom, mushrooms, cedar, sap, dried orange peel. Palate is rich in depth opening with pomegranate, dried fig, tart strawberry, leading into hints of firewood and plums with mushrooms and chinese 7 spice on finish. — 11 years ago
Delicious every time. Notes of tart cranberry and juicy red fruits. Stunning acid and very balanced. — 7 years ago
Jim Clendenen & Emeril Lagasse dinner through the Triangle Wine Experience - great magnum — 7 years ago
13’ Au Bon Climat Nuits- Blanches Au Bouge (On That Road Again) Chardonnay.
Decant this for 30 minutes. Honestly I’ve really never had a Chardonnay quite like this one.
Baked apple, lemon, lime, white flowers,definite oak treatment. It all seems to work. Truly an enjoyable wine. Jim has been making outstanding wines for 35+ years. Reasonably priced and delicious. Could possibly get even better with another year in bottle.

Very oaky and smoky — 8 years ago
Very nice, restrained alcohol and enticing perfumed notes of red cherry, cranberry skin and fresh, damp herbs on the nose. After 2 hour passive decant, balanced tart red fruits with roundness coming from an herb-y very lightly smoky profile. This thing is just getting better as it gets air. Surprisingly great QPR given I had heard Jim picked these before the 2013 rains, which most have indicated was a mistake for lower elevations - really wish I had bought more while in Oregon! — 9 years ago

Big and spicy. Tastes it’s age, but has a lot of depth. — 7 years ago
Another above-the-fold headline scoop from "Superman's Pal"! This is a dense, jammy blend with slimy smooth body. The rich dark cherry, red raspberry, and black currant flavors balance nicely. It works well as an after-dinner digestive wine. — 8 years ago
Pretty good. Not too big (staying consistent with Jim Clendenson's Burgundy approach). I'm gunna have to remember this one. — 8 years ago
Strawberry fruit and a little herbaceous. — 9 years ago

Wow, acid is here and that's for sure. Utterly refreshing, peppery lime nose. Grapefruit, gave, bitter lime but all very balanced. I could drink a bucket. — 6 years ago
