I’m alive in the glass. Feels like such a good comment. Upon opening it was kind of closed off and a little bitter and tight and didn’t have much of anything and I was worried. I got a bad bottle. Give it 30 to 45 minutes of air and life spring into it. Fresh and youthful of flowers and a little chewing ass of a lean steak with pepper and spices. And then it developed more with the tightness of the structure slowly, giving way to crushed fruit and more floral, violet and rose, smells and flavors. After three days open, but kept in the fridge it has more of a crushed dried flowers again with the violet and the potpourri, muted plum and still a crushed red fruit. Delicious very very delicious.  — 7 days ago

Vivid clear, color and tight, concentrated fruit. Cherries and plums and juiciness. Very delicious, but also seem to fade very quickly and it’s flavor. Corked it for a day and a half and came back to something that was quite quickly on its way out and had become round and just grape juicy. Maybe that’s on me for leaving it.  — 11 days ago

Light, fruity, great expressions of delicate fruit, crushed raspberries, boysenberry. Drank well from the beginning, but after a day lost a bit of structure. Delicious. — 25 days ago

Very soft and light and delicate. Perfume and almost floral flavors, berries and flor de jaimaca tea. I was expecting a boulder expression and a stronger wine, but it almost came across this sweet and clone more than savory and nuanced.  — 2 months ago

Look, I work in agriculture, a farming, family, but damn farmer wine is good. I have not had any farmer or co-op wine in a long time that just meets the threshold of wow for this one. I mean just the color is beautiful clear Ruby and Claret with no obscuring whatsoever. This is not something we’re gonna be like oh a dissect the flavors for 30 minutes. It is good, solid amazing wine with clarity of color, absolute focus of flavor in beautiful concentration of the grape and the expression of the land and the spices, and a perfect balance of the acidity structure they’re in. I wish I would’ve bought more of this.  — 22 days ago
