Another new one for me. Interesting with a touch of oxidative note to it. And no wonder given how long this wine stays in barrique and cement. Something like 12yrs. — 3 years ago

This is Tioga-Sequoia Brewery's Joaquin Murrieta Chili Beer. Where do I start? The terroir? (Fresno, where so many good things come from, grows the chiles, that make this beer a spicy, hot and cold phenomenon) The smog? The heat? The complicated geo-political space? The morlock valley we all are happy to disparage with one side of our mouth while stuffing it's stone fruits in the other? Sharp, hot chile flavor in the front, round, smokey, still hot chile flavor in the back. Lingers a long time on the exhale. A yeasty, wheaty nose doesn't give any of it's secrets away. I haven't seen this gracing the supermarket aisles any where else but Fresno, so if you find yourself there, grab some. 2017 — 8 years ago

Jan 2024: PnP, ready after 10 min in a big glass. Very nice Rioja, fruity, smooth and silky, on a feminine side — 2 years ago

Only made in exceptional years, this Rioja from the Murrieta vineyard is one of the best wines from this region and 1994 was truly an exceptional year. At 24 years old it has lasted very well retaining it’s fruit and structure despite some sub optimal storing conditions over the first few years. — 7 years ago

Hazelnut nose and wonderful flavors of bruised apple, golden raisin, and a sweet and sour with a touch of cayenne. At 31 years old and no oxidation, this wine is still going strong. — 8 years ago

Worried this was corked but it's blown off. Amazingly youthful for a near 100 year old wine- probably reconditioned. Resolved dark wood and sour cherry. Very pretty and persistent. Hours later this has exploded. Soft and gorgeous. No issues. Pure joy. — 9 years ago

Rich and buttery. Not exactly my style today, though I bet a few more years would bring it closer to the old white riojas I’ve enjoyed in the past — 4 years ago

Buttery but light oak. Stone fruit. Long finish. Nick Murrieta needs on this beast if he likes an oaky mistress — 7 years ago
