  4/5/2024 - Jack Cranley Does not like this wine: 70 Points

  Tasted through the lineup of this new labels offerings. I'm not here to slander anyone but I did not find any of their wines enjoyable. I don't know, maybe others might find something to like but for me they all had this strange thread running through each and every bottle - whites and reds alike. It's hard to describe exactly what it was but it tasted like a flaw. It was like a nuttiness but not an enjoyable nuttiness. More of a bitter, rancid nuttiness.
  
  I did notice that all of their corks were absolutely mangled and saturated with wine even though they were less than 3 years old. So I have a sneaking suspicion that the reason it was something I tasted across all of the wines was because it's coming from their corks.
  
  But the winemaking was also lacking. Nice color but the structure was really wonky and disjointed with really harsh bitter tannins and super angular acid.
  
  The label is also playing with Tempranillo in the Willamette Valley. I'm not going to leave reviews for those wines because I don't want to Gish Gallup a bunch of brutal scores for an upstart wine label but suffice it to say, the quality level was not to be found in those wines either. Hopefully these guys regroup and find their way a little bit.
