Really nice pepper spice. Light pleasant vineyard flavors, sort of like a fine Pinot. Enough aroma to tease the tasting.

Rough and dirty. Maybe a little rowdy. Opened up beautifully. Delicious representation of the grape. Heavy on dirty and brown dusty leather. Crushed jammy fruit in the background.

Cool Mourvedre from the US. Want to try their lighter renditions.

Solid effort. My favorite of the D&R's I've had to this point.

This is a difficult wine for me. One that I go back and forth on...do I really, really love it or do I just flat out need it? Today is the answer is I NEED it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that it's so damn delicious. After all, @Hardy Wallace did win the '93 Massachusetts Hula Hoop championship so it's pretty clear he can do anything he wants.

Young and spirited. Raspberries and fennel. One of the better D&Rs I've had. I'm still hoping to be blown away by these wines. Maybe i need to hide them away for awhile.

After a year in the cellar, the fresh fruit and snappy acidity are mellowing and the underlying structure is beginning to show. Hardy, this vineyard is a keeper--don't let it go! 2013 vintage.
