September 9, 2018 - Dark yellow color. Honeyed, flowery nose. Oily, viscous mouthfeel. Good acidity mid-palate and honeyed, tropical fruit finish. Excellent.

March 16, 2013 - Great bouquet and on the palate! Flowers, tropical fruits, salt taffy in an explosive, viscous mix. I think a few more years may add more even more layers. Excellent.

January 29, 2011 - Despite the Stonecrusher moniker this wine is evolving towards classic Roussanne. Fairly explosive on the palate with citrus, tropical fruits with a medium-weight, oily mouthfeel. It does have a very minerally undercurrent to it, but it's not crushing in any way. This will get even better with age. For now, Very Good.
