2nd bottle update. Significant improvement!! Still on the fruit forward side but richer, not grapey, with tobacco and some menthol on the finish. I think it’s a bit below prior vintages but an enjoyable quaff. Think I had a bad bottle. Disappointing but it happens. — 7 years ago

Completely switched gears on my choice of wines. Started with this bottle of fun. Such an easy quaff and paired perfectly with foie gras. Only 5% alc, thus leaving space for the rest of the day. — 10 years ago

A distinct aroma of apricot, entry is a rush of intense hops followed by a breadth of flavors including pine cone, chestnut, fresh baked sourdough/yeast and a savory almost deli meat quality. Medium acidity and crispness with noticeable minerality. Always worth a quaff when you can get it. — 7 years ago

2015, ABV 12%. Had to keep reminding myself this was officially not a Sauv Blanc. Lemon and grapefruit. Especially lemon. Pleasant Summer quaff to go with grilled chicken, in the rain! Yes, Charlie Smith does some fun labels. WA, Columbia Valley. — 8 years ago

Superb! Very nice balance of floral and spicy. Lychee type fruit and tastes like it should be sweet but no sweetness, which is hard to describe until you've had it. Had with spicy Thai fishcakes and held up wonderfully. Well worth a try! — 9 years ago

I love this wine. Leather, soil, cocoa, prune, touch of smoke, black tea, some cherry and cranberry, full of Nebbiolo tar & dried roses. Silky but with lush tannins. From Moore Bros. in Industry City. — 7 years ago
