January 12, 2018 - Burst of fruit on the nose. Distinct cherry in the mouth. Excellent balance.
July 13, 2016 - Blackberry, clove, subtle earthiness. Pretty with bright acidity and good balance. Juicy and thirst quenching.
December 24, 2015 - Christmas Eve Dinner in Alamo (Alamo, CA): Strong horsey Brett that overruns the meager fruit.
October 27, 2015 - So juicy! And the balance is better than the last couple of vintages as far as I can remember (unless it's just bottle variation). In any case, there's some good funk here, and the fruit is super vivid.
October 26, 2015 - Excellent value here. some mild band-aid and volatility on the nose, mixed with plenty of primary fruit, coffee and herbs. Beautiful balance on the palate: light- to medium-bodied, balanced acidity, no discernible tannins. Unassuming, exuberant, lots of red fruit on the midpalate, with a good length. Wonderful foil for something bold and umami-filled, like a good pizza or salumi.
July 31, 2015 - Love the funkiness here...tart red fruits, eucalyptus, dirt. Firm acid, super value
