Completely dead

4/7/2024 - ITasteYouDrink Does not like this wine:

Tasted multiple bottles, they are all dead. Secondary fermentation in bottles, looks to be the whole lot.

4/7/2024 - ITasteYouDrink Does not like this wine:

Way too light and watery, not sure what happened with this vintage. Does not seem like Petite Sirah at all.

Beautiful, can age for quite a bit longer

Fantastic. Acidity is strong, tannins still holding on, flavor intensity is crazy solid upon opening. Wish I had more to hold onto! Old world style.

Wonderful and holding the second bottle, but wanted to try it out. Non-intrusive tannins, nice acidity, very well-balanced with the intensity of fruit as well. Did not decant, but suggest that you do to bring out the full beauty of this cab. Looking forward to opening the second at some point down the line.
We’ll be back and following your career, Austin!

Lots of tertiary flavors showing, tannins holding on but not too strongly, great concentration. Drink now or hold short term.

1/27/2024 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Drinking beautifully right now and still has plenty of time to mature more in bottle. Tannins holding firmly, acidity, good fruit concentration and tertiary flavors becoming more pronounced. Drink now or hold until at least 2026 IMO

Tasting great, still has a ways to go

Yikes. Not very good at all, quite disjointed with a very disappointing aftertaste.

Alright, closer to a $13 bottle

Killer bang for buck at $12.89. Decent complexity and punches way above its price

Fantastic first production by Austin. Cannot wait to see what he does next year! Whole cluster fermentation, unfiltered and loving it.

5/9/2023 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Astoundingly, there is still good fruit to this, very slight tannin, good acid, and of course tertiary characteristics. Good for at least a couple more years if not longer.

Beautiful wine, wonderful flavors, ultra light-bodied

4/22/2023 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Still wonderful. Tannin leaving and this is leaking now if not slightly tired, but acidity is good and fruit and tertiary flavors are wonderful.

2/8/2023 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Amazing wine, and can still age for at least another 5 years. Tannins still firm. It integrated, good acidity, red slightly dry fruit, vanilla, tobacco, fig/raisin, other flavors. Wish I had another to let sit longer.

Simple, but ok for the price.

Very simple wine. Made slightly better with food

Very strong TCA, so completely dead.

1/18/2023 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Med+ go High acid, definitely NOT flabby. Mostly citrus notes of fresh lime. Would be good to make risotto with and then pair as well.

Amazing right now, and can go for so much longer.

Ok cab franc. A little simple.

10/19/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Blackberries, dark cherry, slight pyrazines, subtle tannins, good acid. Drinks now, but definitely can age a little for better tannin integration.

10/18/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Nice Washington chardonnay, but more oak and ML flavors that mask the grape itself.

10/14/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Absolutely amazing right now. Can age further to develop more tertiary flavors. Tannin is full integrated.

Such a beautiful wine, and just a perfect one for breakfast.

Wonderful wine! A lot of salinity, then lemon juice, white flowers, grapefruit, green apple, perhaps some minerality.

Not what I expected. Too simple of a wine for this price point IMO and nothing exciting.

Amazing Riesling that has 19 years on it and can still be left in the cellar for quite a but longer. Deep gold, dry, Med+ acid, light petrol, nutty/walnut, honey/toffee and delicious.

9/22/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

I usually don’t rate, but seeing that this wine is at 81 is just nuts.
Off-dry, high acid, petrol, honeysuckle, lemon peel, fantastic German Riesling.

9/20/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Fantastic Verdicchio! Light citrus, apricot, subtle tropical, med+ acid, beautiful. Make sure to let it warm up a little if it was in the refrigerator.

9/18/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Ok Melon dB, but not worth $28. High minerality flavors, medium acid.

Great wine, but not worth $60

Drink on a warm day. Highly effervescent, very light body, off-dry, tropical aromatics/flavors.

9/15/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Wonderful Pinot. No tannins, Med to Med+ Acid, cherry, cranberry, red floral notes, other notes that are there but I cannot identify.

9/14/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Nice Riesling. Dry, orchard/citrus fruit, paired wonderfully with risotto.

9/13/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Dry wine, needs a slight bit more acidity to have a better balance, tropical/citrus/pyrazines.

9/13/2022 - ITasteYouDrink wrote:

Fantastic. Seems off-dry?, high acid, slight effervescence on the palate. Citrus/lemon, orchard/peach/apple?, others

Standard less expensive Full Pull bottle. Not much to say, although getting a little tired of the lower quality wines sold from them marketed as much nicer. Honesty counts in the long run.
