Really excellent. Bright, great acidity, pure, good fruit.

An absolutely incredible bottle. Everything in perfect balance. A dry Riesling with a mere suggestion of sweetness rounds into a warm finish. Love the petrol, salinity, and citris.

Awesome bottle.

Another great Trout Gulch.

Interesting bottle. Tannins fully resolved. Still good Zin berry, but weird drinking a relatively young Zin without any bite.

Great flinty citrus with a backbone of minerality and a little petrol. Comes off very new worldy German. Really nice bottle if you like this style.

Another great bottle.

Great OR chard. Balanced with enough zip to keep things interesting. Lots of lemon and lemon rind. Not much curd and certainly no whey. Good bottle.

Underwhelming. Super acidity without much fruit.

4/26/2023 - TC16 wrote:

Right in the drinking window. Softer red fruits. Not a ton of acidity. Has some time left.

Really awesome bottle. Great QPR.

4/14/2023 - TC16 wrote:

Wine seems really advanced for its age, but it drank really well. Tannins fully resolved. Soft red zin fruits with balanced acidity. Some secondary savory notes. Ordinarily, 10 years old is still young for a zin, but if I had more bottles I probably wouldn't hold on to them for many more years.

I enjoyed this wine a lot more than I thought I would. Great QPR mid-weight pinot. Enough acid to keep things lively.

3/17/2023 - TC16 wrote:

Ok bottle. Really not a lot of improvement. Tannins have softened but without any secondary characteristics. Pretty high acidity. Not sure where this is going.

2/26/2023 - TC16 wrote:

Really high acidity. Purple red color. Some red and purple fruit coming through. Wife liked this a lot.

2/24/2023 - TC16 wrote:

Give this plenty of air. Plenty of acid and should hold up well.

Good Sonoma pinot. Pretty typical.

12/29/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Really light strawberry color. Drank beautifully now, and I bet it improves with age. A lighter wine in Ceritas' style.

12/29/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Drinking really well. Lemony flinty goodness. Tasting blind most would have no idea it was a VA wine - but it had enough local oomph to make it interesting.

Sweet Riesling. Great CA bottle keeping the wine in balance and not coming off as cloying. Enough acid to cut through the various dinner foods. Good wine.

12/24/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Beautiful crimson color. Advanced nicely. Not sure how much longer I'd hold. Really nice bottle.

12/11/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Awesome bottle of gamay! Beautiful light color. Strawberry moving to purple fruits. Chill it a smidgen and it's a perfect light wine.

12/9/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Dark red and blue fruits. Very graceful tannins. Had a little funk at the beginning that blew off.

Getting toward the end. Good but not great bottle.

12/4/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Tannins mostly resolved. Dark purple to red fruits. A touch higher acidity than ideal. Start to develop some secondary characteristics. Really enjoyed this bottle.

Super Yamhilly. Loamy, mushroomy. Funky at the beginning. Air helped and turned into a decent bottle.

Very acidic. Not particularly memorable other than the acid.

Have only drunk 2 No Girls bottlings... there seems to be a distinct house profile. Going to give this some time.

Maybe it was a bad bottle, but not much fruit.

Really underwhelming. Ok when first opened but quickly became thin and acidic.

5/2/2022 - TC16 wrote:

In a nice place now. Tea and soft red fruits. Not much in the way of secondary characterics. Aged well but not a ton of evolution. I suspect this wine is slightly past its peak. Drink sooner rather than later.

Medium bodied. Much sweeter than I was expecting. In balance with good acid.

Feels like this was drunk right off the truck. Really nice bottle of pinot. Classic Ceritas and Trout Gulch. Ruby red, red fruits, great acidity.

Great Syrah. Well-balance, medium body, warn fruits.

Good year for this wine. Pop and pour!

4/14/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Perhaps I opened this too early. Without knowing much about the 19 CA chard vintage, I'd hazard a guess that it was a wetter year. This could, of course, be completely off base, but that's the best way I can describe this wine. Citrusy flavors favoring lemon and lemon curd. Good acidity, but the body just isn't there for me. Very short finish... almost you blink and you miss it. The flavor profile is spot on, but there's something missing.

3/20/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Medium body. Red fruited. A little sweet vanilla. Seemed green on end.

Really classic Dundee with a unique verve. Really tasty.

3/10/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Very light and refreshing chard. Acid driven. Best comparison is a lower level premier cru Chablis vineyard made in a lean style. Tasty. Consistent with last note.

2/21/2022 - TC16 wrote:

Drank better than expected on the first night. Definitely can tell it has aged as the harsher tannins are pretty much gone. Drank lean. Not a ton of evolution. In a nice place.

Not sure if this was just an off bottle. Really oakey on the nose when first opened. It blew off somewhat, but seemed disjointed. Not bad, but definitely not like other FB bottles.

This bottle was much more advanced than the one I drank about a year ago. Not sure if it was bottle variation or a sign.

Darker pinot. At first thought it was Anderson Valley, but definitely has more plush red fruited undertones. Felt stemmy in a good way. Great bottle.

Not sure what to expect as my first Boheme wine was underwhelming. This was better. Bright red fruits with balanced acidity. Drank well, but not particularly remarkable.

Took a while to come around, but ended up being a pretty good bottle. A bit musty that turned into a burst of fruit and acidity. Not sure how much long to hold.

Bad bottle. Or over the hill. But likely the former.
