Drank this KenV (Wineberserker) and the Albany NY crew. This wine has been burning a hole in my pocket the past month. Glad I was able to share with wine friends that 'get it'. Dare I say this still has life left in the bottle, so no rush.

Drank this on my birthday at Arethusa al Tavol in Bantam CT (where)? Google it. My wife loves Rose and this sparkling wine goes with everything, including oysters and duck. A really deep raspberry color that set the tome for red fruits. This really is a special bottle, and only $77 from the winery. If you didn't know any better, you might say Grower Champagne if drinking blind. Wish I had more. Good thing I have other 2017 and 2018's. Now I'm going to look for my allocation e-mail. FYI, this restaurant was featured on CBS Saturday morning in late December. The segment is online and a worthy visit for any foodie. Two hours from NYC and 90 minutes from thee northern suburbs. Corkage was $35. Food and service were impeccable.

I drank this with friends while overnighting in the Catskills. I had a lamb shank to go with the wine. This was decanted in the morning, then slo-ox'd since my friend doesn't have a decanter. Ruby red and smooth and silky going down . Full bodied. Some tannins suggesting a long life. After an hour this was opening up. I'm attending a MACDONALD vertical this Friday of 2013 - 2019 M wines. Looking forward to this event and bringing a, wait for it, 2015 because nobody attending had one. This bottle will sit in a decanter all day, with no slo-ox. FYI, I left a short pour for my friend for him to drink the following night. He told me this really opened up.

My wife opened the first bottle at a lunch with her gym friends. Four of them polished off the bottle. I got home just in time to open a second bottle. Lucky for me I had another. This is really smooth. A pretty gold color that's easy drinking. I'll continue enjoy this mid afternoon, and with leftovers tonight. Pretty good juice for $15.

My last bottle was opened 18 months ago. The wine is much improved with that extra age. Nice color. No notes, but we emptied the bottle. Drink now and enjoy.

Opened this at the family Thanksgiving table. It's a really pretty zin. We had half a bottle left with 20 people. I think that was due to the tannins. If you own it, hold it. No rating.

Anniversary brunch with family and grandsons at Canoe in Greenwich CT. Corkage $35.00. The 2017 could easily pass for Champagne. Shhh. Disgorged November 2021. Drink or hold. A little yeast and a hint of hazelnut. Tiny bubbles as noted by others. Purchased from the winery. Glad I have other 2017 and 2018's sleeping. This drank very well.

I drank this with Wineberserkers in Astoria (Queens) NY. It's an oh my wine that can be kept for multiple years. It was very dark (cola color) and lip smackin good. It had a long lingering finish.

I've been saving my last ACV since I got this wine in 2012. If you own it, drink it. It's time is up. It was a nice wine, but nothing like my previous experience with this, and other vintages.

Finally popped this double magnum at a Flyertalk travel wine dinner at North Square in Greenwich Village. An aged pinot noir is always rewarded. This was a dark color and was singing to the max. A few tannins would suggest you can hold onto this for a while. It was my WOTN. Drank this with a steak over 2 hours. Slow-ox'd for 30 minutes.
