Wild. Unsure what exactly to expect since the reputation was "he did something to the wine". Barrel samples were off the hizzie, but the final product just seemed to skew so modern. And then a jillion years later.. it is still such.
Dark dark dark. Cherry cherry cherry. Opened rather nicely post decant. A multitide of flavors and aromas greeted us over the course of the next hour. Sweet, almost port like without the heat. Cool. @northforktable — 7 years ago

This is in your face West Coast IPA, here on the west coast we honor and cherish this beers, these are the ones that started the DIPA beers, this brewery in fact was one of the first, West coast IPA's San Diego brewery, multiple locations, Associated with Port brewery and Lost Abbey, big hops, big malts, we still crave and need these beers, when everyone else is going to the tame and mellow DIPA's it is very good to see this brewery remaining true to what they do, Just Like Stone brewery, in cans, big plus, stays fresher longer, All IPA's and DIPA's should be in cans, Excellent DIPA, in the style, West Coast all the way, no mistake of that — 8 years ago

Pizza red blend. Great cheap Wednesday night wine! — 9 years ago
This is a wine to be enjoyed any way you like. For example, on a Friday night after a busy week when you only have energy for pizza in front of the TV. A very approachable old vine Zin sourced from various California regions. It will make you feel human again. And it pairs well with pizza. — 6 years ago
Very easy wine- perfect with pizza/pasta — 7 years ago
Perfect lunch (and pizza) wine. Pale pink, low alcohol, refreshing acidity, red fruits and spices. Even better, 500ml bottle. — 7 years ago
smells like an old cab finished tired port — 7 years ago
This is crazy good. Strawberry preserves and apple butter on the nose, a refreshing burst of acidity up front and a butterscotch pudding finish that goes on forever. — 9 years ago
Delicious and funky. Co-fermentation gives it a lovely combined feeling with a delicious richness full mouth feel and lightly bitter critic acidity. I had it with a pork and it was 10/10 — 9 years ago

Coffee, cocoa, dark toast. The coffee flavor is amazingly balanced. Overall one of the top coffee beers I’ve ever had. — 6 years ago
