Full purple color and a great nose if cherry, licorice and smoke. On the palate was full of rich red fruits with a mineral undertone. — 10 years ago
Natural! Update: had this last night with bbq chicken marinaded in yoghurt-garlic-chili- ginger etc. Lovely stink of river mud, briar fruit and fine acidity. No fining or filtration? — 11 years ago

This was such a wonderful surprise! Best thing to come out of Vermont since grade A maple syrup! A true sipping gin - absurdly smooth - spice, juniper and honey. This is the Pappy of gin. — 11 years ago
Love it. From bin 104. Nice start (Tom says reminds him vaguely of grape juice but I don't think so) and smooth throughout, and nice finish. Doesn't seem as high as 15% alcohol! — 11 years ago
Was going to bring this to Tom and Caroline's for the barbaque... Brought a 2009 Cakebread Cab and one of my recent favorites a 2004 Bran Caia... The Bran Caia just ROCKS; 50% Sangiovese, 45% Merlot and 5% Cab... You barely recognize it to be Italian... It is yummy!!! — 12 years ago
Tom is a great wine maker. One of my favorites — 9 years ago
The 2008 Barn Burner is a beautiful, well-constructed and integrated wine. The nose has the intense blueberry blackberry, nectarine, honey, vanilla and spiced pear that are married with wood aromas in the form of cedar and oak. The long creamy, velvety palates ones on forever and has intense Dried blueberry black currant and apricot flavors layered softly with intense dark chocolate and a hint of clove (indicative of a little petite verdot) and is finishing with black cherry and a touch of medium toasted oak. This wine is drinking amazing now and all the layers really shine through. I only wish I had more.

Earthy savory - reminds me of old Mirassou Pinot, naturally. Great winemaking by Tom Stutz. — 11 years ago
Enjoyed this with Tom and R. At Corners.
This 2012 Prisoner held us hostage with captivating fruit velvety tannins, and lush finishes. I'm an inmate for this wine, as I have followed this felon for years now.
Last nights bonus, the wine was picked by the table next to us...happen to be one of the heads of... U guessed it....the winery. Pay it forward! Ron — 11 years ago

I just opened a 2007 Mas Sainte Berthe Le Baux de Provence varietal, purchased in that village in 2009. It is a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Cabernet. Excellent medium bodied, very smooth to palate. Accompanied a halibut fish dish. Tom and Dorie Ockenden — 10 years ago

Tom Calder introduced me to this wine 7 months ago and I have been thinking about ever since. One of the best dry Chenins I've ever drunk, will be in heavy rotation at my house for the foreseeable future. — 11 years ago
Clean citrus flavor of grapefruit with smooth vodka of Finland. A greyhound without the pulp. — 12 years ago

I'm generally not a fan of California Sav Blanc, but this was refined and had character. Another value at at $20. Who knew Al had a brother who could make wine? 😄 — 9 years ago
