A little cloudyness makes me happy. Sappy on the Nose. Linear focused wild strawberries. — 11 years ago

Cool mix of fresh fruit and kirschwasser, and savory, herby, flowery things - a little dissolved CO2 makes for a squeaky clean finish - thanks Penny and Andy Loving! — 11 years ago

Goes down smooths, clean flavor but a tad too light. Wish it had a little extra kick to it and more essence. Other than that, great value and easy on the pallet. — 11 years ago

Very nice fruit character, not too ripe or overextracted, little herbacenousness and oak. Decently integrated tannins. — 13 years ago

No question this vintage has gotten a little funky, but it fills me with joy to drink a wine like this from California soil. Cranberries, rusty iron, cinnamon, redwood bark, tangy and easy...this wine is screaming out that we're finally a wine region with cool shit to discover. — 13 years ago
