A little home improvement wine. Surprisingly fresh for 17 year old barbera. A good food wine, with raring acidity which makes it feel a bit out of balance otherwise. Lovely. — 8 years ago

Impressively good for the price. Crisp, refreshing with good citrus and stone fruits. Just the right amount of acidity. — 8 years ago

Super interesting. Sake made from purple heirloom rice. Rich, umami characteristic that lingers and continues to develop. — 8 years ago

Way funky and light enough you can see through. Nose of wet hay, barnyard, dried cherry with an earthy palate and lots of spice. Some tobacco and leather too. Didn't hold up much after opening. I'm looking forward to seeing how it compares to other vintages. — 8 years ago
