So smooth and enjoyable. — 6 years ago
This totally encapsulates my feelings today, my sadness over the loss of a great icon. Tobacco, darkness, rough and tumble weathered psyche. This wine brings you that much closer to feeling that death spiral, though you realize your biological levity will intervene. Others aren’t so lucky. This wine is a toast to someone who could not conquer darkness himself, but nurtured his inner darkness to bend the rest of us toward the light. May you finally feel at home, restless wanderer. — 8 years ago
Wow, top notch grenache. If I was on a deserted island, and this wine was on it, I would dehydrate in happiness — 10 years ago
Fantastic. A bit rustic in the best way. Tastes like burgundy — a year ago
Lush. Black cherry, plum, acidic enough for any food. Young and restless. Great stuff — 5 years ago

Very interesting to taste this pitted against the Sandhi Pinot posted just previously. Similar in so many ways yet so different! Foraged strawberries, earth, rosewater. Tannins with a light grip like a partner lightly squeezing your palm during a horror film even though they claimed to be fearless. Bright, restless acidity. Smart and worldly. Alive and well. — 9 years ago
Alighting upon this particular Riesling, I felt excited, like a recovering alcoholic, heart aflutter, throwing away a 10 year chip for that nostalgic something special dreamed of for oh so very many restless nights.
Probably the most indelible white wine that I came upon while visiting winemakers and their vineyards in Germany, my splendorous import, emblazoned with the only recently permitted designation of the enigma that is "Feinherb", showed all of the orotund fruit notes of a late harvest selection from old vines, but with the complementing tilt of a dry, breezy and crisp attack of herbs, citrus, apple and the whip-crack of an undead acidity. — 9 years ago
I can’t decide if it’s fantastic or too hipster but it’s very Skurnik, strikes a great balance between cool climate body, lightness but with profound and ripe tannins with some leather/graphite depth without the fruit baggage. At $65 it’s almost value priced given the current climate — a year ago

Very pleasant with pasta or by itself. Pairs especially well with mild cheddar. — 9 years ago
A bit young and restless, but much easier to drink than the 12yr. Ample peat, silky mouthfeel, iodine and smokey finish. Delicious! — 10 years ago
