No question this vintage has gotten a little funky, but it fills me with joy to drink a wine like this from California soil. Cranberries, rusty iron, cinnamon, redwood bark, tangy and easy...this wine is screaming out that we're finally a wine region with cool shit to discover. — 13 years ago
This has an amazing nose that is a strange mix of rather sharp furniture polish and the taste that you get when mixing up a couple of different flavour opal fruits (star bursts to you youts) incredibly pronounced, sharp tropical fruits (and nail polish), skittles and strawberry concentrate.
Palate is less expressive but has some wonderful green apple skin, quince, good length, very lovely stuff. — 11 years ago

Rusty color. Slight oxidation. Solid fruit and acid. Drinks light like a white but has notes of light reds like gamay or Pinot. Classic bressan. Weird and delicious. — 11 years ago

Light rusty garnet colored, very clear. The scent was minerals and almost a little grassy. Compelling to drink. Medium finish, soft tannins, good acidity, red cherries, concrete, lots of tasty minerals. Paired really well with spicy red pasta sauce. — 11 years ago
