Black currant, cedar, tar, cigar box, coffee, vanilla. Quite a complex nose. The palate is very concentrated with a strong acid backbone, and some dark and dense matter with black currant and somehow dusty tannins that kick everything up. The finish is very long and very wide with some bitterness popping up, black currant, and a pinch of salt. We paired this baby with a gigantic beef T-bone. Perfect pairing. It's still very young and needs time. Not a 9 because it's still too young — 7 years ago

Texas wines have grown. This is an outstanding blend of Grenache Syrah and Mourvèdre from Salt Lick Vineyard. This is a complex wine with great structure and finesse. Great to see the Lone Star State wines mature and compete in the world stage. Visited the Fall Creek Vineyards. Well worth it can’t get it retail because of the limited production but can get it online. New release of the 2016 vintage. Excellent! — 8 years ago

My go to rose. Reminds me of my birthday during the spring! Vibrant, joyful and fresh- the nose brings a delicate floral note and strawberries. The palate has lime zest, candied/salt dipped strawberries, ripe raspberries and cherry blossoms. Very balanced and tastes structured for such a young wine. If I was stranded on an island with one wine for the rest of my life this might be it. — 8 years ago

The salt ponds from Point Judith Pond, RI get 96 points and the Wiannos from Cape Cod, MA get 97 points. This 100 point system is so great for enjoying food and wine! — 11 years ago

Wednesday Wine Committee hosted by Dan. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. Tasted blind as usual.

I guessed the producer was Marcassin. At the end of the day, Marcassin is just so distinct when compared to other Cali chards, and it’s always magnificent (for my taste). Smoked lemon, grilled marshmallows, sea salt, popcorn kernel and almost sulfuric. Impeccable. — 7 years ago

Enjoyed this bubbly BFF picked fav! Had forgotten about it.. just the perfect sweetness but not overly too much where more than a glass would cause headache/sour stomach. She served it with a meat/cheese/olive tray & dark chocolates for BookClub night! Will be buying myself some!!! — 7 years ago

Preserved lemon, sea salt, rocks and screaming acid. A lot of complexity in a very defined wine. Almost has a tannic grip to it. Wondering what RS there might be to balance this acid. — 10 years ago

Wow - best wine to pass my lips with a CA appellation in some time. Way more Tavel than Pinot Noir rosé. Rich and textured. Tangerine, white peach, celery salt, rhubarb, cotton candy and just a hint of that bubblegum that PN rosés always seem to have. — 7 years ago

always love txakolina. this one is super minerally, heavy dose of salt and brine, good bite of lime, and some pear to round it out. this is a really enjoyable, crisp bottle but is one touch too austere (dry + salty) for me. one extra bit of roundness and acid (if that makes any sense) to cut against the salt and this is a total home run but still very enjoyable. — 7 years ago

Lime, lemon curd and sea salt pour from the glass. Med to full body for a white. Textured, almost chewy. Perfect for rich King Crab and a simple, but savory fish and chips...this project from Rhys shows every hint of aging from strength to strength. — 8 years ago

Mellow, stately nose of flint, lemon, ripe melon and toasty barley invites you in, only to be assailed by a ripping current of electric acidity up front. Once the shock wears off there are layers of citrus, fennel, green apple, sea salt and limestone to be enjoyed. Acid profile is a bit aggro at the moment but has the makings of a chiseled, mineral, beautiful Chard. — 9 years ago

Spring flowers and dried herbs on the nose. Tart cherry, black plum, and raspberry. Tons of minerals!!!! Himalayan salt, crushed slate, wet river rocks. A trip beneath the earth's crust in the shadow of Etna. This has the grip and saline acidity to cut through richness. Might be a good match with grilled sausages. Or a foil to long simmered tomato sauce. — 10 years ago
