This is a very nicely balance rye. Nose is toasted cinnamon and clove. Palate is sweet brown sugar on the entry followed by distinctive rye spices. Finish could be a bit longer but has a nice unexpected barley note. This is a full bodied assertive, yet gentle, whiskey for those afraid of ryes (like I once was...). — 9 years ago

So deep and rich. Love this Pinot. Not too sweet, and some great earthiness that was unexpected but awesome on the first taste. Nice work Tom! — 9 years ago

Unexpected gift from a friend coming back from Haiti. Beautiful smooth rum. Doesn't have the heat of the 4 year oak aged. This is more refined. I like both. — 9 years ago

This was a totally unexpected surprise. A gift from family. Totally delicious. I am continually amazed at Zin grapes from high end regions. Note... These winemakers believe in their Zins! — 9 years ago

Unexpected personality! Determined and full like no rosé I ever tasted before, while still offering the complex lightness of a night of great food in Venice. Notes of roses and even sun filled liquorice pepper supports this aerial yet substantive rosé. A great summer contender when the consensus at the table can't rest on a red. — 10 years ago

Wow, mouvedre is such a cool variety. This unexpected surprise has an intense expression of the classic leather and mineral character, with chaparral (garrigiue) and brambly fruit. Snuck the bottle into a screening of Chef, good times. — 11 years ago

Unexpected...this wine was gorgeous from start to finish and likely has another 5 years ahead of it before it starts heading downhill. — 9 years ago

The best wine of the afternoon made even better tasting with the winemaker, Dan, on a glorious day in Barossa. 2% Viognier co-fermented softens the tannins without adding too much unexpected floral nose. Opens up after several minutes in the glass to vibrant black fruits and umami shoyu. Deep dark and extracted with a rich velvety mouthfeel and smooth finish. Couldn't leave without buying a bottle. — 9 years ago
