Surprisingly delicious. I was expecting to make this into a sangria or wine-based cocktail, but it ended up being closer to a traditional rosé than a fruit wine. It paired nicely with lasagna and pastas with tomato-based sauce. Berry notes are well complemented by the rhubarb, making it off dry instead of sweet — 3 years ago

Another genius nose the the Baden Master of Wine. So stoney with oodles of pit fruits. Clean and expansive nose with huge minerals and an airy cloud like ephemerality. Gorgeous elite grapiness as well but this is a young nose that is a bit unformed but one can see the genius here. This will take a bit to unfurl. Some herbals and sugar snap peas develop as well. Complex and juicy but so reserved right now. The length and depth let one know this has a lot to say even if it is quiet right now. Very very persistent with vivid fruit skin details.

The nose is coming alive now with a scents of grape skins, herbs, forest floor, rubber and tree bark. So complex. What an unfurling. Palate has classic bee sting. A honeyed richness followed by acid that collects on the tip of the tongue. This so fruit skin focused and pure. So so unique and delicious but it needs more time. I will be back.

Rich flavour of wild blueberries and smooth honey make an exceptional mead.

Off-dry, and complex this is meant to be savoured and shared.

This is a well made chard AND from the North Fork that ages nicely and really shines with food, like salmon and roasted tomatoes. Nose of ripe cantaloupe, bee pollen, white flowers, fennel. Really nice mouth feel, good weight, with good acidity. The palate is similar to the nose with added honey crisp apple, not sweet, and marzipan. I’ll need to get more, but maybe will see how it holds up longer. — 4 years ago

This is very elegant and complex, like most Barsacs is lighter weight than Sauternes and much more floral. Also has the tell tale honey and bee wax notes as well as lemon zest. Its terrific now and there is no rush to enjoy it. Enthusiastically recommended. — 5 years ago

Ruby in color with a wide reddish, cloudy rim.

Fruity nose with sweet raspberries, bing cherries, blueberries, vanilla, light oak, light vegetables, spices and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with black cherries, plums, sweet strawberries, raspberries, spices, light chocolates, earth, black pepper and herbs.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

The six-year-old from Mendocino County, drinks like a fresh wine. Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and very pleasant. A Good quality Pinot Noir.

Fruit forward and rich. Tangy and tasty. Good by itself or with food.

This Single Vineyard is well balanced with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

This Pinot Noir seems to be aging nicely, and will continue to drink well in the next 5 years. Tangy and interesting. A great wine to sip on by the porch.

I paired it with a triple cream Brie cheese with wild mushrooms.

Aged in French oak barrels (30% new) for 2 years.

14.9% alcohol by volume.

A marriage between dry cider and sweet mead. Strong apple notes with honey undertones. Not too sweet. No effervescence. Nice when paired with dried fruit or mixed with brandy. — 2 years ago

Orange color, almost apple juice. Has a wax and honey scent, along with smoked apple skin and a bouquet of wildflowers. Semi-sweet, with some orange blossom flavors and a sticky thick texture, but not cloying or overpowering. Definitely some barrel aging in this. Really pleasant with a slight chill and would pair well with some smoked BBQ or spicy Asian food. — 3 years ago

A moderately expressive nose with white orchard fruit, some floral scents, bee wax and a touch of mint. The palate is amazing, complete, so well balanced, fine, elegant, classy and yet round and rich with just good backbone to go woth that width and that fullness, a very long delicious finish but mostly what impressed me the most is that texture, so envelopping, classy and perfect. I note generally on the low side and don’t give 94 too often but this is definitely the case.

Un nez moyennement expressif avec des notes de fruits blancs, de menthe, un petit côté floral et cure d’abeille. La bouche est magnifique, un équilibre exemplaire entre cette tension contenue, cette rondeur et richesse enveloppante sans être lourde, un vin plein, fin et riche à la fois, mais c’est surtout cette texture qui m’a séduite et m’a impressionné, quelle classe, une très longue finale savoureuse vient couronner le tout. Je note assez bas généralement mais 93 ou 94 sans doute.

This is delightful. Bee pollen, honey suckle, lemon meringue, Meyer lemon..that’s the nose. That all transfers so well to the palate, but with added orange blossom honey and thyme (something herbal). Still good acidity and life to this wine. I wish I had more to try in a few years. — 6 years ago
