Well now. This is a treat. Pure and elegant. Solid backbone of Syrah fruit with a meatiness one expects from the No. Rhone. Really really good. Long finish. 2022 — 21 days ago
Light in the nose and delicate on palate but with some strength there. Pronounced acidity and light tannins and pepper on back end. Decent finish. V well made. 2021 — 2 months ago
Bright acidity. Replay few tannins. Way more an Irish. Tart cherry. 2019. An herbaceousness that is v compelling. Lovely. — 19 days ago
Really pretty red fruit. Nice acidity. Quite lacked tannins, ripe or otherwise. Polished and v drinkable. Maybe not long aging potential but fine by me. — 22 days ago
2024. Flabby this is not. Not my usual drink but in 375 I wanted to try it. Pleasant. More acidity than expected. Usual Cal flavors but quite well made. Enjoyable. — a month ago
Banana laffy taffy on the nose without the oppressive sugar. Super complex and a v long finish. 2022. Bonkers good. — 2 months ago
2023. 15% super full gas. Brambles a good descriptor. Tight acidity with a solid body of sweet dark fruit from the Mourvèdre. Bit cloying and not elegant but super pure fruit. And great. — 20 days ago
2023. Dark red raspberry. Pepper and a touch of baking spices. Super powerful. This is not a delicate pinot. There are wines that are a privilege to drink. This is that. — a month ago
Delicious. Bright sweet red fruit. Well balanced with acidity, tannins and fruit. So nice. — 2 months ago
