2012. This wine is crazy ambitious. It hits the mark in some ways: (oak usage, noble reduction, pristinely ripe fruit) but misses it in others (soft acid, diacetyl, and just a general chubby feeling). I get that they're trying to make an American Montrachet, and it certainly tastes expensive, but I just don't think California's going to let them do it. I just don't think you can get enough phenolic ripeness while maintaining acid and alcohol in this part of California. I fully respect the effort and thrust of the wine, but I can think of a few other ways I'd rather spend my money. Would be really interested to try it in a really cool vintage like '11 or '98. — 9 years ago

The 2013 Dissident has a deep, dark and inky color profile reflecting the wine’s depth and power. The aromatic profile begins with a combination of rich black cherries, clove and black currant. Secondary aromas of cedar, tobacco, cocoa powder and bay leaf complete the wine. The palate offers a rich and supple attack supported by flavors of cherry and plum with a hint of vanilla from the new French oak. The wine transitions into a powerful finish with graceful tannin and balanced acidity. — 9 years ago
