One of the most bizarre and fascinating wines I've ever tasted. I thought I knew bloody, meaty mineral Syrah from my love of Washington Syrah like Cayuse and Reynvaan but Wow. I guess it should be no surprise for the Slayer of Men — 11 years ago
Light signature nose of berries and violets. Astringent with huge acid on first pour reminiscent of wines derived from vines grown in volcanic ash. Mineral, olive and green tea. Comes together on day two suggesting this wine could use some considerable time in the bottle for its elegance and exquisite qualities to emerge. — 8 years ago

No shit sold out. We spit 300+ wines. This was not one of them and represents some of the best whites in the new world. Orange honey marmalade but honestly name it and it's in there. I love this wine. — 9 years ago

Wow. This wine is amazing. I love Viognier and drink a fair amount of domestic Viognier from solid producers like Alban, Roar, Reynvaan, Jeff Cohn, Favia and Herman Story. I love those wines but this is a different animal. This wine redefines the category. Impeccable balance, unbelievable minerality and a finish that lasts 45 seconds. This is a white wine that evolves in the glass in front of you and it is a 2014. I had this alone and then with food, Nicoise salad and it was great with ample acidity. This is a Viognier that is made like a Grand Cru white burgundy. My eyes have been opened to what is possible with this grape. BRAVO — 7 years ago
