I had the Vin Nature version of this wine, 2018 Twenty Mile Bench.
Quite frankly exceptional, no additives,natural ferment and neutral barrels, unfiltered and unfined. Just a perfect expression of this varietal. — 5 years ago

The look is similar, slightly simpler (than Far Ninety). The taste is still high quality. I honestly felt like this tasted as expected in this price range, but I can also remember wines I’ve tasted that were more expensive that I liked less, and vice versa. So, overall, I think this is a good bet if you want that luxe feel for (slightly) less lira. I tried the 2023 Carneros Chardonnay, which is more rich and big. The nose gives lemon balm, vanilla bean, tangerine, quince and chalk, buffered by baking spice. The palate is luscious but bright and shimmery, the acidity taking turns with vanilla and cream to show off, garnished by caramel. Rather scrumptious, definitely a food Chard, but not so much that you couldn’t enjoy it on its own, especially heading into autumn. — 10 months ago

Simple and straight forward Sta. Rita Hills. This was a interesting vintage, early harvest and small yields. Giving nice fruits but very light palate texture and finish. — 6 years ago

We Coravin-ed this a while back, and I wish I would’ve checked in on the first glass. Oddly enough, it tastes lightly oxidized. …Notes of black cherry pie, raspberry jam, silky blueberry, and a cocoa finish. Dark red fruit throughout. Subtle black currant. A light herbaceousness I can’t quite place. Maybe oregano? Not as teeth-ripping as Orin Swift or Michael David Syrah, but easy to drink and good to pair. — 4 years ago

A nice Niagara Chardonnay. Quite full, but not overly rich if that makes sense. You get a bit of sensation from the barrel fermentation but there is no apparent oak, just body. Good acid but one smidge less cohesive on the finish than I’d like. Still nice. — 6 years ago
