  This wine remains a singular experience - and at 12 years, still fresh and appealing. Nose a mix of floral notes of rose, crunchy cranberry, some strawberry, and a hint of cherry, with tons of stony minerality. Palate more crunchy fruit and mineral driven. Holy cats, this is one serious wine. No hurry to drink this. The acid and refreshing structure and lack of any heaviness or overripeness surprises from a fairly warm region. The complexity is remarkable at the $. If you prefer big oaky, fruity, high alcohol California Zin or Cab, this is decidedly not your bottle.

  A very singular wine in the best sense. Nose floral with roses and violets an crunchy red berries. Stony notes too. Herbal and tea hints. Palate still fresh. Red bramble and stony fruit and potpourri. Hints of va. Very long mineral and fruit driven finish. Wow!

  Extremely aromatic, nose similar to Gewurztraminer, but possibly even more aromatic. Extremely floral, so much so it's hard to place. Almost black in color, even at 9 years old. Black pepper, clove, and every flower you can imagine. On the palate it just disappears, very little to no tannin. Spicy on the palate but light bodied. This could work similar to a rose for food pairing, but is black as night in color...

  I was lukewarm on this wine upon release, and much less positive now. Weirdly floral in a manner that made me think of Gewurztraminer (!) with jammy back berries. I didn't enjoy this when popped-and-poured. No change an hour later.

  Garagiste selection.
  Color: Dark purple
  Nose: medium-full intensity. Gobs of flowers -- rose; violets; wild flowers. Spices
  
  Body/flavor: medium; Rounded complex flavors of flowers and dry berries. Great balance.
  Aftertaste: lingering
  
  Opened several years after recommended time frame. Amazed by balance and mellow aroma and flavor
