Brett is informing a ridiculously clean pickled apricot that is ethereal at best. But what an entry!l. Like basil in a box on a rainy day. Puzzle pieces. The palate pushes back with immediacy! Lemon grass. Lemon peel, jalapeño jellybean, pepper overwhelming orange, micro-orange, teardrop tomato, creamy pine with a fleur de sel touch. Indelible as a profound thought! #funkytown #bretty #brettomyces #farmstead #lime #dankbeer — 8 years ago

Bold maneuver by Joe Swick of co-fermenting Pinot Gris & Noir results in a pleasurable puzzle of a wine, like listening to Ornette Coleman get rid of chord changes, this wines interacts w perceptions at a radical pace. The Pinot Gris actually supplies more tannic chew that buzzes on the palate while the Noir presents a folk melody structure to wrap your mind around. The collision is rather haunting, and I can't wait to understand how it goes with food in surprising ways. I'm gonna glass this sucker at Americano! — 10 years ago

Waaaay too young. Instead of decanting, waited a few days and by days 3/4 it was beautiful. — 10 years ago

Heavenly. As good as quarter-century old wine will taste. Classic Pauillac nose, still some fruit but mostly other interesting pieces to this bouquet puzzle. A mouthful and lingering for a minute or more. This is the stuff. — 10 years ago

Purposely taken with a Jaffurs glass. The salesman at Oxford Wine Co. said this is the closest we'd get to Condrieu in the £17/bottle range. This made me zoom back to Santa Barbara after one sniff. Everything Craig Jaffurs talked about snapped into place like a puzzle. Licorice, chive, pepper, honeysuckle and other white flowers. Some orange marmalade on nose and palate...completely consistent. Med+ bodied, silky smooth...heavenly. Speaking of Heaven, Morgan, this is your dear friend, correct? — 11 years ago

Electric. Streamlined fruit and laser focused acidity. This wine is vibrant and alive. By no means a puzzle. She speaks, and she says "drink me!".. Everything I love about wine is in this bottle — 10 years ago

A puzzle that demands you solve it... and you want to with its depth and dark, haunting disposition. This bottle is a reflection of love, of California's caress of wine life, growth-- texture and tannin with fearless fruit delivery. Plan around this offering, a dish with climates of flavor and charisma that match this Bordeaux vixen. — 8 years ago

Paired this with some Tacos and 4 hrs of puzzle time. Smooth and good, but didn't get the hint of chocolate aromas. — 9 years ago

The Grolleau supplies the phat, round, warm spice embrace while the Cab Franc gives angularity & Tellicherry pepper, so the pieces of the surprising jigsaw puzzle fit together just so! — 10 years ago
