PnP. Very drinkable already. Spice, funk, and a melange of aromas in the nose. Velvety tannins and lively in the mid-palette. This is a thinking man’s weekday sipper. Will check back in with this in a couple days. — 7 years ago

Once I stopped wanting this to be Muscadet (much lower acidity) or Ramato Pinot Gris (not nearly the tannin/phenolic structure) I really enjoyed this. It's a much quieter and more nuanced 'orange' wine, rewarding close attention and time taken. Lots of development over 3 days, and I'm curious where this is in another year or two. Thanks @Hardy Wallace ! — 10 years ago

Naturally made, bush vine, no grafting. Very interesting and unexpected expression of Chenin. Slightly more tropical, but still restrained, not as nutty and very savory. Not quite as acidic as French Chenin. Lovely wine. — 10 years ago

Yep a #barossa Grenache. Easy drinking. Had a lightness and elegance to it. Good fruit structure and balance. The Tuesday night pizza wine. #aussiewine — 11 years ago

Fat! Slutty! Gulpable! A little hefty going rate of $38 on the shelf for what I consider value, but by all means totally pleasure able. — 10 years ago

Smelled like red apple skins, and smashed raspberries. Foggy color light and delicate if I lived in California I'd drink this all the time. It's just too pricey for me on the east coast. — 11 years ago

Alder Springs makes Thingz with Zings! Does anything come from this place that isn't a laser or lightning bolt? Must make hair stand on end when you walk through it. I can just picture @Hardy Wallace picking his grapes looking like he had his hand on a van de Graff generator... — 8 years ago

A crucial year for the vision of this chilean winery, when the gastronomical, oxidative, low-alcohol approach of winemaker Marcelo Retamal finally took off.

I'm not sure how @Hardy Wallace gets so much flavor and complexity packed into something that is as light and graceful as this. Cranberry, rhubarb, rocks, earth and mushroom. Orange zest. Smoked meat. I need too figure out how to not drink these for a while, to see what they become. — 11 years ago
