Very distinctive. Bright acidity, red fruits, lively and complex. Good stuff.

Really great concentration of flavor and elegant texture. I love their wines. Always have a sense of purity and depth to the fruit, great non-fruit layers, and sense of mineral throughout. Red berry compote, sweet spices, crushes granite, dried flowers, herbs. Delicious and alluring

Way too early. Doesn't have the layers or complexity it will with time, but it's already fun, and full of crunchy, restrained red fruit.

Bottle was corked. Gross moldy smell on cork; terribly astringent wine. Disappointing.

Powerful raspberry, lemon and other citrus nose. Has a welcome raw, unrefined quality. Sharp on palate, with a sour, potent mouthfeel. Great complexity for this price range. Points for being interesting, but ultimately it's completely unbalanced.

This one aged nicely. Still tastes bright and fruit forward with good acidity. I would have guessed Santa Barbara Syrah. Tons of dark berries and some cocoa.

Sharp citrus on the nose. Dry with ripe berries and sour. Very sour. Opened for one hour.
