Not quite as harmonious with its wood, acidity, and fruit as it has been in the past. Knowing this producer time will bring it down. |

7/31/2022 - angelcyn Likes this wine: NRNice raspberry spicy nose, quite a full mouthful with smooth tannins and spot on acidity, very nice drink, 80% grenache blend, still fresh and will keep but to me as good as it will get. |

6/3/2022 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 90 pointsMy last note, late winter, indicated seasonal depression (yes, it affects wine, too!) Now: open windows, cool breeze, June—this drink is an exhibition of mineral transparency combined with velvet, spiced berries. Easy, accessible, glazed with espresso and menthol. The chew is made of tense, sweet, sticky little red and black berries. Projections of scorched thyme, mocha, chalk, brackish cress, and poppies breathe lightly. The finish is a residue of appetizing bitterness. |

5/25/2022 - WineBurrowingWombat Likes this wine: 90 pointsCôtes du Rhône Dinner (Bernal Heights, San Francisco): Aromas of white flowers, a soft layer of tree bark, very interesting note of dry sand, subtle straw, pear skins, bright yellow fruits with some spice. The flavors show a deeper, ripe pear note with a pleasing soft spice, dark mineral and bitterness from stems. The spice in a white is somewhat new to me, I rarely get it in whites but this was nice. This was missing some acidity which made it seem a bit flat. Not that it needed it as it was still very enjoyable but it would've brought some liveliness to it. |

3/13/2022 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 90 pointsOpen 48 hours. NOSE: mute, desiccated fruit solids. Iodine. MOUTH: pulpy, sappy fruit in a state of annular eclipse. Tannins are ripe, youthful, and proportioned. Chewing it releases a confident balance of berry acids, cumin, iron leaf, Indian coffee, and licorice tissue. The chunky, cobbled, adhesive, tannic finish blooms with airy mint. It's clearly in a half-dumb phase, possibly instigated by seasonally cold, passive cellar temperatures. 90+ points—but to be fair, I must pledge to open another one in six months. |

2/6/2022 - drdan8 Likes this wine: 91 pointsNotes of honeysuckle, verbena, and tangerine on the nose. Limpid yellow color on the pour...The palate was quite rich for a village level offering with sensations of pineapple, lemon, and assorted tropical fruit. Nice paring with branzino and fresh string beans. Great QPR here |
