I tasted this bottle 1 and 2 years ago and can say this has evolved nicely with life ahead. It is fuller and more palette-coating than I recall. This time I drank it over 1.5 hours open and it kept positively evolving and blossoming. At the end: Large aromas of succulent red fruit, graphite, and a trace of cracked black pepper. Palette is very tannin forward with med acidity and notes of red fruits, mineral, and a little something green. — 7 years ago

Beautiful pale gold in the glass with thin edges. Pineapples, pears, honey crisp apples, and vanilla on the nose. The aromas don’t try to overpower you with, instead they subtly seduce you. Plush mouthfeel and incredible balance. This is not a stereotypical buttery Chard, nor is it overoaked. There’s oak to be had here but just about the right amount. On the palate, the citrus qualities come to life more but not in an overbearing manner. Lemon, more pears, and melon on the forefront with butterscotch and apple pie on the backend. A little unexpected spice note on the finish takes this baby home. Classic but not austere, a bit of elegance without the pomp. Very nice stuff. — 8 years ago

Really good Pinot noir! It was a little heavier than I would expect for Pinot but i liked the nose and fruit and oak were very balanced. Overall I would definitely recommend! — 10 years ago

Grown two miles down the road and 12.9% abv. Very curious. Has a little bit of the drinkability of a Beaujolais, but the dark tannin structure of Napa cabernet. Spicy black pepper, but at this point, no roasted meat character. A little thin but solid tannin, fruit, and acidity. Will love to retry in a few years. — 10 years ago

Grenache-Gris, Verdejo, and Albariño. Delicious, peaches and cream, hints of lime, little fatty up front but otherwise supple and sensual. — 11 years ago

This is Palmaz’s second wine. I’ve been fortunate to have visited Palmaz once...one of the most incredible winery tours with their high tech tools.

This is a nice second wine. Still required a 30min+ decant due to age, but it was easy to drink after. A lot of toasted graham cracker, blackberries and fig on the nose. Palate was similar with little tannic bite. Smooth. There was a unique aspect to the finish of this wine...cinnamon bread wrapped in dark fruit. Very interesting. — 7 years ago

In a weird place in my opinion. I see amazing potential. (Very well could be my mood). Violets, cotton candy, meatiness and dark red fruits on the nose. Suave, velvety texture of plush red fruits, flowers, and bacon fat on the palate. Maybe it's a little to suave for my liking tonight, i was wanting a little tension. I have several of these so I'm gonna revisit in 3-5 yrs. — 8 years ago

Light salmon pink, light bodied, not much aroma until it was in glass for about 30 minutes then some soft melon and strawberry, flavors much more pronounced than the nose. Strawberry, watermelon rind, medium/low acid but still balanced, dry and a little spritzy. — 9 years ago

This was great. Equal parts Dirty & Rowdy mourvedre and Enfield pinot noir, grown in the same place. I haven't had anything from Enfield besides this, but this is definitely in line with the Dirty & Rowdy wines I love so much. The amazing thing about this is that you'd figure a 50/50 mourvedre and pinot noir blend would drown out the pinot noir and you'd just get lighter-weight mourvedre - but that's not what happened here. Instead, it tastes very much like pinot noir. Perhaps the mourvedre is beefing up the tannins a little bit, but the structure is still on the gentle side - a little raggedy, but with a loose grip and friendly enough not to get in the way of this being super-drinkable. — 10 years ago
