A big nose of ripe honeydew melon, citrus and cucumber. The initial attack is big and fruit forward with a nice acidity. The fruit and acid gives way to a long and almost creamy finish. Nice wine with sushi, or on a warm day. — 12 years ago

2012 vintage. Wow...now this is a serious wine. Deep in dark fruit and terrior flavors and a fair share of tannins. This was pure heaven with a barbequed rib eye steak. Another of those wines that I keep on the shelf because they are bound to be wonderful when opened but I want to keep them as long as possible for slight aging. But I never buy enough soon enough before the sell out. Mark Ryan makes seriously wonderful wines and this is surely one of them. — 9 years ago
