I remember this IPA as being one of the first super hoppy American beers I tried upon moving to this fine country in 2010. It was floral, bitter and unlike anything I'd had. Since then it's become an occasional go to. Good stuff and always happy to taste. β 7 years ago

This did not age well for me. A 2016 opened in 2019. Insanely sour. Definitely ginger but it became a little much on both fronts for me. Iβd be interested to try again at the brewery if when they have vintage pours. β 6 years ago
Light Sumatra coffee notes, with dark cocoa nib and baked red plum with a borderline persimmon coat on. A drop of night blooming jasmine surfacing briefly and African violet, and a fat lily thickness. There are baked cherries and a smoky paprika, too. Black cherry, that coils dustily into a toasty oak and resin dappled raspberry and roobios bitterness and fine grained tannins. #brunello #poggiocastellare #PianBossolino #italianwines #montalchino #Tuscany #riserva #wineallyouwant β 8 years ago

The flagship wine from Burn Cottage, a Central Otago, New Zealand producer focused on Pinot Noir. Husband and wife owners Dianne & Marquis Sauvage sought out Ted Lemon of Littorai, and SF Chronicle's winemaker of the year for 2010 (Jon BonnΓ©: "The simple version of Ted Lemon's story: Young American goes to Burgundy. Becomes first American to run a Burgundian wine estate. Comes back and stays true to Pinot's motherland."). Lemon oversaw the planting of the vineyards, along with all aspects of vineyard management and winemaking, chief of which being Biodynamic from inception. The label is a derivative of a 1795 fairy tale called βThe Green Snake and the Beautiful Lilyβ which represents the ideal intersection of people and the land reflected in Biodynamics. Black cherry, citrus, and lavender pastille, with some secondary loam and herbs. β 8 years ago
Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, cherry, strawberry, and sweet florals. On the palate, cherry, oak and vanilla dominate and there is a very long finish with these flavors lingering. Medium body with ripping tannins. 2012 vintage. β 9 years ago
Lovely acidity that's well balanced with a subtle fruity tang that lasts nicely on the palate β 10 years ago

Delicious wine. Fruity flavors, definitely fruity smells but also with light hint of floral accents. In my opinion great as a desert or to pair with light meals like salads, turkey... Etc. β 12 years ago
