The best of all 10 Wind Gap wines I tried today. And one of the cheapest. 13.75% alc and it shows. Love the Jolly Rancher strawberry flavor. Gum coating tannins. Wish more of their wines had this slight added layer of ripeness. From 85 year old vines grown on pure sand in Alexander Valley. Made in a concrete egg. A huge surprise. — 10 years ago

Really like it. Big tannins and medium finish. Classy. Cab Francs can be ashy, bit smokey and lopsided. This one stands on its own. Balanced! — 11 years ago

A luggage export from my time in NZ. Body was middle weight, and showed off mostly darker cherry, toasty cranberry character and dried herbal. Tannins had integrated nicely and were a little larger grain (180 grit sand paper). More masculine and muscle in its fruit expression and typical of Otago. — 10 years ago

Very reticent to give up much on the nose, just a bit of red berry. Wonderful taste of a mix of red and black fruit and baking spice. While lighter than many field blends, it still has a nice velvety mouthfeel with some dusty tannins on the finish. Must be that Contra Costa sand! — 10 years ago

Light body but good minerality. Nice finish good with fish or can stand up to grilled salmon. — 12 years ago
