One of the better Rieslings I've tried. Minerals. Earthy. Orange.
So. Good. — 8 years ago
A nice, recent find. I'm usually not too much of a fan of Bordeaux blends from SB County but the 2013 vintage of this is nice. I don't think it has the holding power (read acidity or tannins) to last much longer before reaching its peak but what's there now is still pretty bold & fruit-forward. Had it with some slow-cooked pot roast & it paired quite nicely. — 8 years ago
Good, dark red fruit. Young but not crazy tannins - Little short/thin for my taste. Prob could use a little more age. — 8 years ago

Big and juicy with a velvet finish. Really opens up after an hour. Loved it. @Sam Coturri — 9 years ago
This is embarrassing - I admit I'm not a big Port fan! But I now realise I adore the Tawny variety! Right that's out of the way, this is seriously good stuff, pronounced, woody, toffeed, caramel, dried fruits and nutty, with the addition of dried figs and raisins coming forth on the palate. Sweet with nice acidity but seriously powerful with 21% abv — 9 years ago
Enjoying watching/drinking this fine thing as it opens/morphs its magic with steak tartare and heirloom radishes @ Sonoma's The Girl & The Fig. Black to red fruit on first blush coating front center and back silk clothes clinging to cool skin slow dancing its way home... Salute — 10 years ago

Really lovely and super light. Berries and pepper. Accessible and balanced. Great value. — 6 years ago
Very smooth right away, gets better after open. More spice than fruit. Would love to get an old vine bottle from these vines in 20 years. — 7 years ago

Light and fruity. Almost an effervescent quality. Lime zest and tartness come through on the finish. — 6 years ago

The 2006 Rusty Shed Chardonnay is a blend of four blocks of Chardonnay on the Flat Rock Property. Grapes are hand picked and hand sorted before whole bunch pressing takes place. It was then cold settled in stainless steel, 100% barrel fermented and left on the lees for 10 months. Wild and commercial yeasts were used for primary fermentation, followed by malolactic fermentation to soften the natural acidity. The result?
Beautiful example of a mid to full bodied Chardonnay with butter, vanilla, apples and light spice on the palate. A lot of flavour and elegance at this price point. Sampled this 2006 in 2017 but this should sit well and perhaps develop more for a few more years. Best part? It's from Niagara! Loved it!

Smooth combination of fruits--especially cherries--perfectly softened by the oak... and it continued to improve as opened up. Still one of my favorite WS. — 9 years ago
