With no perceptive barrier between the warmth of the atmosphere, the spice carried by the winds of Raja Ampat, Indonesia, and the sirens call bouquet of this wine--vitality and strength are resonant. The power of the nose and the follow through of palette lead none to believe that it had spent more than two decades in bottle. A treasure, floating in through the Archipelago... 1995 vintage — 8 years ago
Absolutely terrific wine. Bound to uplift even the most doomy-gloomy mood. As such, it pairs well with political discourse and the prospect of "President Trump." Go ahead, drink those sorrows away. You deserve it.
Beautiful, shimmering golden color. I believe it's actually already deepening with age. (2012 vintage consumed in mid-2016)
On the nose, apricot fruit and unrefined honey dominate but is accompanied with a menagerie of rare and precious aromatics. The result is a feeling of having something truly exotic in your glass. This is a world-class wine for which there could never be any argument over its worthiness. You will be taken by this wine and there's really no way to over-hype it and set the expectation bar too high because this wine will meet it every time.
As we dig in deeper past the obvious top notes, we discover a treasure chest filled with persimmon, sandalwood, white flower, and vanilla bean.
Upon first entry in the mouth you are met with a zippy liveliness but then that melts gently across your palate to really give you a fine, pervasive coating that excites the taste buds in every corner of your mouth. This is a POWERHOUSE of assertive flavor. This wine will stage a veritable coup d'etat upon your complacent palate. There will be an ouster of your resident ennui. No incumbent sense of boredom will be safe from this wave of populist essence. There will be a complete and total transition of power in the halls of your mind's parliament leading to a peaceful but efficacious revolution. With your personal Congress in shambles, this fresh new confederacy shall draft a Constitution that will usher in a new era of utopian cooperation and transcendental civic euphoria!
Sorry, maybe for a little carried away there. For reals though. Drink this wine when you're feeling down and feel the BURN! Well, not really - because the alcohol is really well-integrated. ;) — 9 years ago

Nice heads up Rishi!
Smooth and fruity. Med. tannins, but my jowls say bold. Bright berries and plums with a lasting finish. Bonus, my wife loves it.

Well where have you been my little treasure. So glad we got this recommend at a restaurant. What a delight and best of all the winery is just over an hour from home. Winner winner chicken dinner. — 9 years ago
A light ruby red with subtle aromas of red berry fruit combining slight earthy notes and floral scents. The 100% Pinot wine was aged for 17 months on French oak, (30% new) before bottling. The wine was medium in weight with vivid focus of berry fruit, raspberry, cherry and cranberry, nothing overpowering. The wine showed soft tannins surrounded by lively acidity and earthy minerals, giving the wine a remarkable balance. An elegant wine that is easy to drink, a real treasure, Top-notch! Only 814 cases made. — 9 years ago
Wow. So different than others. Fantastic! — 10 years ago
Can't believe I've held on to this treasure for so long! Cedar and sandalwood on the nose. Silky with a bright and savory--almost vegetal--finish. Perfect with filet and steak-house style garlicky creamed spinach. These grapes were picked when I was still in high school! — 8 years ago
Squashed Grape: very good for a white! Soft, vanilla, French Oak ... tasty! < $16 bottle — 9 years ago
This is a true treasure. Wonderful dark fragrance. Beautiful legs. It is a heavy, smooth, soft, blend. Lovely bouquet of flavors. — 9 years ago
This is a fantastic white wine! Light gold in color, with green highlights. Lychee, slate, beeswax and more on the nose and palate, with a lithe yet slightly viscous mouthfeel, perfect fruit/acid/alc balance and even a little tannin to complicate matters (pleasantly). And, this one has more years of aging potential, IMO.
Thanks to @Josh Grovefor uncovering this treasure! — 9 years ago
