Great acid profile. Not too tanic But some good dryness — 3 months ago
Bologna and sweet tarts. It’s got zest, some funk, meaty smell with some initial barn farts, but really smooths out. It’s the best adult meal—preserved meat and corner store candy. — 4 years ago

Fresh and lemony, with a crushed stone mineral weight. Really liked it, but there was a certain flatness that prevents me from wholeheartedly recommending it. But will absolutely buy again. — 6 years ago
Great vineyard for this wine. Better than others I have had. Soft, round, and fruity. Random Tuesday watching Brewers put Cuba back into second place. — 3 months ago

2007 vintage. Nice fill. Used a Durand to open but good cork nonetheless. Decanted and tasted after 15 minutes. JFC...does the oak ever die on this nonsense? Tried to bushwhack through it without success. Even the Alexander Valley product has the good sense to have the oak minimized/integrated/drop off after a decade. Not the case here. There's a reason why I haven't even considered carrying this on a wine list since the late 90's. This go round didn't exactly convert my opinion. 8.16.26. — 2 days ago
