A sturdy white in the Bordeaux Blanc style, the ‘24 highlights great Sauvignon Blanc fruit in its youth with just a bit of Semillon weight. Floral and melon flavors pop along with bright acidity now, but the structuring Semillon should take a more central role over time. — 6 days ago

9.0

Dark, full bodied, black and blue fruit with a through line of acidity. Hints of port on the finish. With nearly 10 years in bottle, it drank more like a cab than warmer climate Pinots, but had more vibrancy and delineation. — a month ago

8.8

Powerful deep nose of fruit and earth like a strawberry patch. Firm tannins and reserved fruit in the palate but becomes richer and even a bit script with air. Archery Summit wines are long-lifed Pinots and this likely has 10-15 years of development in it. — 2 months ago

8.9

Beautiful nose of Kirsch; loaded with sweet, dark fruit — cherry herring stands out — and minerality with mild acidity. Not as deep and complex as some vintages, lacking the garrigue and pepper elements. Still, a very good Syrah. — 11 days ago

8.2

Dry with still firm tannins but perhaps a bit past its prime as it was leaning more earthy, prune in profile than brighter fruit. — 18 days ago

Young but impressive. Light mixed berries, cinnamon, bright acidity. Damp earth emerges and fruit sweetens over time. — a month ago

9.4

Leading contender for my wine of the year. Still has it all 25 years on. Rich, raspberry syrup, licorice, port-like qualities without the prune, viscous. Still loaded with fruit and power. — 2 months ago

With another year in bottle, the ‘22 is a slightly more rounded version of its prior self. Still rich with florals and white fruit typical to the wine, the minerality has receded a touch and the acidity softened slightly. A very good and drinkable dry Riesling. — 16 days ago

9.2

Fantastic. Purchased on-site at the winery during a visit earlier this year. Rich dark fruit, leather, touch of the rocky, dusty soil of the Priorat. Mellowed with age into a lush, layered wine with both hints of port and nice spicy acidity still on the finish. — a month ago

8.5

Vivid nose, red berry and kirsch forward, bright, light tannin, pleasant but lacks the depth or extraction of better vintages. — 2 months ago
