Full body fruit with lots of minerality. Smooth and lingering lemon finish. Bottle notes indicate citrus zest and wet stone favors. It mentions bone dry taste but I found strong full flavor all the way through to end. Unique and good with shellfish. — 10 years ago

This was my least favorite of the 2003s upon release, but I guess that shows what I know. Drinking amazing. Jammy with a nice balance — 10 years ago

Southern Rhine blend Mourvèdre dominant 56, Syrah 38, 6% Grenache made by James mantone, syncline winemaker, fermented in concrete has a good amount of blackberry huckleberry fruit with notes of animal, Dark spices. This has a bit of estate fruit which is third leaf from the stolen fruit incident. Black licorice spice 1.5 tons stolen- around 50 cases. Dark spices and pretty floral notes very pretty this needs a rack of lamb still has that dusty mineral notes. Big and chewy with rich decadent fruit and bright acidity cleaning things up with pretty floral notes only 220 cases produced. Finish 45+ dusty mineral notes through the finish. Excellent+ — 12 years ago

35% Cinsault, 35% Grenache 30% Mourvèdre. A dead ringer for a Provençal Rose. Vibrant strawberry & raspberry notes with a wonderfully dry acid backbone. One of my favorite WA producers upping their Rose game. Excellent. — 8 years ago
