2021 Folk Machine Sauvignon Blanc

Mendocino more

2/3/2023 - Socrates wrote: NR

Way better as it warms up and opens a bit. At first it's a bit cotton candy-like and tropical and feels out of balance. Once it warms up there is a beautiful minerality with over-ripe lemon highlights. The tropical fruit recedes a bit and the cotton candy disappears. It's not pithy or tart, but the acidity is still kicking. Food wine more than an easy summer sipper.

Earthy nose, cherry and red fruit taste slight acidity at the end but overall balanced.

Smooth drinker for sipping but also with the acid might pair well with hearty fatty things

Chewy, light, fresh and rhubarb with cranberry and cherry. Light tannin. As always a treat to drink.

Day 4. Dark and earthy. The aromatic pep of pickle juice. On the palate, there’s more than a natty thread buttered popcorn. OH NO. I f***** can’t stand that flavor in red wines. Definitely hadn’t encountered any of this in a Folk Machine PN before. Gotta call Ken…

Lett, floral, villbringebær, litt tyttebær. Frisk syrlig, lette taniner. Spontanfermentert preg. God men litt sær

PnP Lys fisk lukt med klassiske PN noter litt grønne urter, syntetisk solbær. Klar og lys frukt, god rose. 1 dag i flaske: Fisk og parfymert. Transparent frukt, solbærblad. Flott PN rose men kanskje litt kjedelig

Very good for the price. Not complex, but a nice balance of stemmy, slightly herby nose and a bright, tart red fruit palate.

The Center of Gravity actually from Potter Valley. The Potter Valley Pinot Nor. That high toned crunchy fruit character to it. LIvely on the palate. Long mineral finish.

Dark cherry, smoke, leather, dried herbs, and cured meat. Very savory. Excellent with buttery foods or on it's own. Cherry brightens over time, but never so much that it overpowers the savory notes. Well-balanced, especially after being open for an hour or so.

Plummy, smoky, peppery, unrefined. Meaty, hot, a longer finish than the nose would suggest.

2020 Folk Machine Gamay Noir Rosé Arroyo Seco

6/13/2022 - sid_loves_wine Likes this wine: 90 points

I'm still figuring out how to "rate" rosé wine here- sure, most of the ones I've enjoyed around the $20-$25 mark such as this have been delicious and refreshing, but also very same-y, and without any real complexity or interest- I feel like it's very possible to get just-as-refreshing white or red wines for similar prices that have much more going for them.

This had a somewhat more savory/salty nose and palate than some others, but almost *too* much, in that it was pretty much all minerality- not much in the way of fruit (maybe very faint grapefruit or something), or floral tones, or anything else. Good acidity for sure, although felt a little tart and nondescript. I've had far more engaging experiences with the Folk Machine Pinot Noir and Charbono, which were purchased for even less than this.

I might be underrating this a bit, but like I said, the price feels high, despite being tasty.

Meh. Lacks the acidic lift and precision of its Argentine cousin. Good dank elements and acidity. Dark fruits. Ends up too extracted and tiring.

2/19/2020 - fred o. Likes this wine: 90 points

Light straw golden. Nose some bright lemon, honeysuckle floral, faint lanolin.
Palate lemony, with some surprising richness. Hint of minerals. A stone fruit character with warming.

Well judged balance, not thin or underripe, at 12% abv., especially with a lemony chicken dish. Not sure how it would age, but quaffable now

2014 Folk Machine Charbono

10/22/2021 - nzinkgraf wrote: NR

Lots of fruit, but with rainwater aroma. Red and black fruit palate, licorice, medium plus acid, medium minus tannin. Chewy. Very easy to drink. Super fresh acid, and still loads of fruit. I’d say drink to 2035 at least…it is Charbono, so…
Day 3 and holding on, but on second though, maybe not one for the long haul. Holds fine, but just doesn’t seem to exhibit the fun on the palate that would take this to a more pleasurable spot down the road. I’ve got one more left, so we’ll see.
Lots of sediment.
