4/29/2024 - Brian Glas Does not like this wine: 83 pointsA bit of an oxymoron. Heavily oaked. I thought Adam was into low intervention. Not this time. Oak masks the fruit. There is fruit here but I'm having trouble picking it up. |

4/27/2024 - bml207 Likes this wine: NRPop and pour at slightly below cellar temperature. Transparent gold. Subtle nose of lemon, vanilla and something tropical. Palate has more lemon and vanilla notes with some herbal background elements. Creamy mouthfeel carries through with slightly nutty notes. One taster noted some petrol notes coming through later in the evening as the wine warmed. |

4/27/2024 - galewskj wrote: NRDecanted one hour, drank half the bottle over 2 hours. This is an odd wine that didn't fit into any defined category for me, and also wasn't particularly interesting. It reminded me of all the wines I drank from unusual varietals (Century club). This is mostly a larger somewhat brutish wine and there is also something that keeps it from being jammy or in-your-face. I wish I hadn't drank this so soon and will hold my 2021 longer. Unscored. |

2022 Sabelli-Frisch Riesling New Gold Dream Zabala VineyardsArroyo Seco more |
4/26/2024 - James Kim Likes this wine: 88 pointsDecanted. Now 30 min after decant. Somewhat shy but nice, elegant aromas of just ripe gala and tart apples, hints of flowers, some spices and hints of minerals. Palate with some minerals, herbs, and a hint of fruit. Medium body with excellent acids. Nice minerals on the mid palate. Moderately long finish of tart apples , minerals and a hint of herbs. I can't quite get a read on this wine. I think this is young, but I also think that a little bit of residual sugar would really lift and add balance to the wine. There's not that much complexity. I'm not sure if that's because this wine is young or if the material is just not quite there. I wish I had another bottle to see where this would be in about 5 years. For now, this is a fairly straightforward, somewhat simple riesling that definitely leans on the austere side. |

4/24/2024 - Discobiscuits42 wrote: 91 pointsQuite delicious. Old school vibe with a solid core of dark chocolate. Would have appreciated a touch more acidity to give a bit more lift. Otherwise well balanced. A touch hot on the back end. A chillin wine you can sip on and ponder. Cellar temp is where I prefer it. It gets a little unglued as it warms up. Agree there is a touch of VA which gives added complexity. Quite nice on day 2 |

4/23/2024 - Brian Glas Likes this wine: 91 pointsTasted after 1 hour of air. Pale ruby color. Very crunchy. High acid. Very sweet raspberry fruit. Nice cut and delineation. Some spice. Nice high toned fruit on the mid palate. Mr. Adam is crazy man for making wines from these no name verticals. I love them. Wine would be boring if everyone followed the same formula. |

4/15/2024 - James Kim Likes this wine: 90 pointsDecanted. Now 30 min after decant. Initially, fairly reductive aromas that eventually blew off mostly. Mild matchstick nose w shy aromas of tart apples, minerals, and herbs. Palate w tart apples, some lemon, some minerals, herbs. Excellent acids on a medium body. The minerals come through more on the midpalate. Nice finish of minerals, tart apples, lemon and herbs and a hint of salt. The more I drink this, the more that minerals come out. I'm beginning to think this is more about rocks than fruit, which I love. Like chablis but without the chalk and iodine. The wine is coiled and seems to be hiding it's depth. I suspect some age will bring more depth and open the wine more. 90+ for now but I suspect 5+ yrs of aging will open the wine even more. Nice potential. Wish I had more. |

4/8/2024 - James Kim wrote: 87 pointsDecanted. Now 45 min after decant. Expressive aromas of ripe, almost candied cherries, some greens and bark. Palate w bright, slightly candied cherries, mild herbs, dune bark. Mild tannins sneak on midpalate with moderate vanilla and almost a bit of spritz feeling. Finished with moderate vanilla, and fruit. Really liked the texture and weight of this wine. Fruit is a bit ripe but the nice acids balance the wine. My main sticking point is the lingering vanilla oak, which I'm not a fan of. Just sticks out a bit too much for me. Would definitely be more enthusiastic if the oak wasn't as prominent. |

3/25/2024 - NoahCap wrote: NRMy God...unlike anything I've ever had. Smells like dark cherries a hundred miles deep. Aromas are so complex and nuanced- Dr Pepper soda, watermelon, cocoa powder, raspberry preserves, fresh figs, canned cranberry sauce, potpourri, honey, a touch of leather. Surprisingly, this is not a super viscous glycerol monster. Medium bodied, medium in acid, tannins and fine grained but still clearly present. I read the description on the winery website, so I knew this would be dry, but the lack of sweetness is a shock nonetheless. Like the nose, there is so much going on that it's kind of bonkers trying to list it all. Cherries, cherries, raspberries, red plums, dried cranberries, dark earth, bitter herbs, more cherries. The finish is very long, refreshingly bitter, a touch of alcohol heat. No idea how a wine like this will age, but I'm curious. I just bought more. This wine is absolutely bonkers and I love it. |

3/23/2024 - ppmm wrote: NRWell, that was fun. Very pale rosé, fresh peach and cherry fruit, slightly saline and peppery finish. This has surprising body for its 12% abv, and enough acidity to be energetic. Had this with a pasta puttanesca and it stood up to the strong flavors well. Part of the pleasure of the wine is, of course, the giggly scandalousness of drinking a “white Zinfandel,” but it’s only a small part: this is a tasty wine no matter what it’s called. |
