May 16, 2013 - rustic effort, fresh crushed fruit with dark undercurrent of mushrooms. Hollow briar body but comes up rough.

May 12, 2010 - I had one glass for lunch at a diner and could no believe how good this was at the price point. This goes for under $15 a bottle retail, but there is essentially none available in my market. If you can find this I recommend trying at least one bottle. It is a Kermit Lynch import if that helps you track it down. Even wine searcher did not have this. I see from an earlier comment this was on sale last summer in Berkeley for even less, so it probably is largely gone. I believe there were only about 2,000 cases made.

August 27, 2009 - A delicious effort. Round, but with delicious bell pepper flavors and lots of structure. Enticing aromas, great price (especially since I got it for under $10 at Kermit Lynch in Berkeley with their Summer Sampler sale). What a value!
