Not everyone likes this. Very very dry. Great with food. Interesting.

drinking very well, even with some age. Cheers!

Excellent. Drinking like it is a little bit older, but maybe because I kept it at 74 Fahrenheit for about three years. Cheers!

This is a lovely wine. Wish I had more. Relative value to be sure.
Cheers!

5/23/2023 - winepog wrote:

Drinking well. This is well made and shows no signs of old age. Cheers!

5/23/2023 - winepog wrote:

This is in a good place, but could go longer. Some fruit, and some tertiary flavors. Drinking well. Cheers!

5/23/2023 - winepog wrote:

Very light. Interesting as it is fresh and bright, but very understated and delicate. Cheers!

solid and good value

Latest bottle drinking better than the first. More lie a Brunello than the first. Standing up to the 2015, which was quite nice. Liking the value play here. Cheers!

Last bottle was flawed. This one was mellowed slightly by age, almost felt and looked a little orange but was rather delicious. Cheers!

high energy, good acidity and freshness…drinking well now. cheers!

5/15/2023 - winepog wrote:

easy drinking, good value, would buy again. cheers!

5/9/2023 - winepog wrote:

Give it some air. A lot better after the initial shock of air on this wine. Recovers nicely. Brooding, and this could probably age a bit. Cheers!

5/9/2023 - winepog wrote:

Agree that more time in the bottle will be good. Otherwise, very friendly drinking, ready to go now, if desired. Good fruit but could use a bit more length. Cheers!

5/9/2023 - winepog wrote:

Great value for delicious bubbles. Good fruit. Will probably last in cellar for a few years. Chenin Blanc! Cheers!

5/8/2023 - winepog wrote:

Really pretty stuff. Will buy more when I find it. Nice acidity, flavors and balance. Unanimously liked among 6-7 drinkers.

5/7/2023 - winepog wrote:

Lime and acidity present here. Drink with food. This will live on for a while. Cheers!

Just had to drink one of these so someone besides D.F.C. can weigh in. :) :) I would give it a little more time, but this has nice structure and depth. Maybe a touch more oak than would be ideal. Otherwise it works, and will get better over the next couple of years. Cheers!

5/4/2023 - winepog wrote:

This was somewhat muted. I think it is in a dumb stage. It appears well made, but is lacking fruit - but does have structure. Needs more energy. I don't know, but my guess is that this will be much better in five years. Cheers!

5/4/2023 - winepog wrote:

This one had a crumbly cork, so I really cannot give it a fair rating. Definitely aged, with butterscotch and a lot of viscosity. Probably would have been better a few years ago. I probably did not help it by storing it at 75 degrees for the last years. Cheers!

5/4/2023 - winepog wrote:

A bit muted. Next one I will decant a lot to see if that helps. Drank this over two days, and not enough joy. Hoping for more fruit and energy in the next bottle. Cheers!

Drinking beautifully. Excellent pairing with yellowtail snapper. Relative value. Cheers!

Very present. Golden color. Drinking very well. Cheers!

9 out of 9 people who tasted from this bottle really liked it. Could age another ten years with no problem. Cheers!

Very nice. Great value. Would but again. Cheers!

Drinking well. Good fruit on the nose. Bright fruits - both fruity and dry at the same time. Very nice.

4/23/2023 - winepog wrote:

pristine, fresh and balanced....slight sugar, but offset with acidity. Cheers!

4/23/2023 - winepog wrote:

Very dry. Fruit is faint but pleasant if you look for it. This is not a crowd pleaser, but it has its charms.

4/15/2023 - winepog wrote:

Red fruit with acidity. Cheers!

4/12/2023 - winepog wrote:

Still youthful and drinking well. Might be even better in a couple of years. Cheers!

Tannic and dry. The 90 is generous as it is based on what I project this to be if held a few more years.

4/6/2023 - winepog wrote:

Drinking well. I would not hold much longer. The balance is decent, but tilted slightly away from acidity. Cheers!

4/2/2023 - winepog wrote:

Fruit on the nose was bright, but palate was a little heavier. Nice wine with strong meats, perhaps. Cheers!

4/2/2023 - winepog wrote:

Drinking very well. A nice balance. Slightly dry, and wonderful with variety of appetizers. Cheers!

4/2/2023 - winepog wrote:

Very light for a CA red. This was very nice with a slight chill, and would make a great summer red with a variety of light foods. Cheers!

Not sure if this was flawed or not. It seems to be rather oxidized, but this might be a feature, and it might be a flaw. Curious if others noted a sherry-like aspect to it. It still was drinkable, but it was confusing. Cheers!

The beauty here, lies in its austerity. It does not slap you for attention, but it relies upon its balance to fade into the background to accompany your meal - not dominate it. Cheers!

3/27/2023 - winepog wrote:

Lovely wine. Good value. Drinking well. Fruit is fresh, and not overly extracted. Cheers!

3/27/2023 - winepog wrote:

Excellent. Full and rich. Acidity and sugar balance really well. I don't think it matched well with fish dip, but did well with some mild cheeses and other snacks. Cheers!

3/27/2023 - winepog wrote:

Drinking well but feels like it has reached a plateau. A lot of tertiary flavors in the mid palate. Cheers!

3/27/2023 - winepog wrote:

Nicely balanced, leaning slightly dry, but rich. Good fruit. Fabulous with food. Lovely all around. Cheers!

3/17/2023 - winepog wrote:

No your typical Zin. A lot of acidity, some crispness. Drink this young and with foods. Cheers!

3/11/2023 - winepog wrote:

Not too bad for the price, but punchy and one dimensional. Drink this with food. Pizza maybe.

3/8/2023 - winepog wrote:

Drinking really well right now. Showing the 10 years of age really well. Wish I had more. Cheers!

3/5/2023 - winepog wrote:

drinking well. a lot of interesting flavors possibly band-aid and strawberry

drank it next to a Silvaner Eiswein from St. Johanner Abtey...the eiswein was more balanced and interesting. this Gewurtz was a bit more sugary will taste again. Cheers!

Still looks and tastes young. Some interesting flavors though. Could use more time. Cheers!
