30 min allowed for the wine to open... Ever so slight hint of prunes from ripe plums on the nose, juicy fresh grape flavors, mid palate of earth, cedar, & acid that causes cleansing salivation across the tongue... 2007 vintage firing on all cylinders, and at a high moment, from a producer of magical Zinfandels... it's the next morning, and I'm still craving more. — 8 years ago

Love everything about this rose. From the nose to the finish, it's incredibly balanced and vibrant. Red berries, peaches with cream, savory herbs and white rose petals kissed with morning dew. Rich and coating on the palate, the eager acidity drives through and coats everything in sight. — 9 years ago

Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend. Honeysuckle from Sémillon; passionfruit, pineapple, grapefruit from Sauvignon Blanc. Fresh cut grass, new oak. A beautiful Napa "Bordeaux Blanc." Its Japanese name translates as "morning dew." The grapes are sourced from Oakville and Rutherford in Napa. — 10 years ago

I was high as a kite drinking this so to me it tasted like a rainbow that was shot from a mango, and some morning dew collected from the horn of a unicorn. ... It was really tasty — 10 years ago

This was a gift. Didn't really know what to expect. Uncorked it in the morning. Drank it for dinner. Now it's one of my favorites. Very smooth. Pleasantly surprised. — 11 years ago

Oaky and chewy on first pour, but opened into a fun array of morning dew on citrus and apples with great minerality. I guess I do like chenin. — 9 years ago

Perhaps the most surprising and fantastic food/wine pairing of my life: 87 Joly CdS and a Niman Ranch bacon sandwich on potato bread with a spread of Mayo as thick as my head felt this morning after a dinner with a legend. The acid in this 1987 made German Riesling seem as alkaline as lye. It shook the bacon from the inside of my cheeks and concentrated its intensity on the middle of my palate. It made the bacon more bacon. It's 28 years old. Bad A :-) — 10 years ago

Blackberry, minerals, Burgundian style with little to no oak, like morning dew. Light and bouncy, acidic in the mouth with a lingering finish. Solid Barolo, needs another few years as there is still some heat on the nose. — 9 years ago

Nose of sweet Lilacs, Osmanthus and morning dew that drew repeated nosing as it was really unique and haunting. Well structured with excellent acidity. Think only 4 producers making total of 4 barrels of this property! — 9 years ago

Moss and bramble on the nose. Gives the mental image of morning dew and spring foliage. In the mouth, tart acidity drives this wine with a pleasant herbaceous finish. — 11 years ago

Tonight I am going back to one of my favorite areas for Pinot Noir, the Willamette Valley. This is the first time trying the Adelsheim Winery though I have heard great things about them. On the nose we get strong fruit forward aromas of strawberry, cherry, raspberry and a moist morning dew soil. The red fruit continues through to the palate. The strawberry & raspberry continue though a bit on the light side. There is a smooth mouth feel with a nice acidity and minerality notes. The acidity helps in the length of this Pinot which I truly like. — 11 years ago
