Monday, April 23, 2018 - What a difference a bottle makes! First off, kudos to Will and RM customer service as the last bottle we had was corked, noted it in CT, and received a note from Will that they want to replace the bottle. It's actions like this that makes me enjoy their product even more so than just the delicious juice! Tonights bottle, actually the third one we've opened, is the rock star that I've come accustomed to since the 2012 vintage! Even better integrated than that first bottle we had right off the truck...killer subtle smoke reduction, vanilla barrel spice, dried honey...creamy and ripe yellow pitted fruits with a good vein of citrus...bright and vibrant, shimmering gold...little tropical dried pineapple...pretty white flower florals, and saline mineral crunch. Really well rounded...reminds me of a young Coche village! Love it!
