Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Medium lemon color, aromas of stone and citrus fruits with yeasty notes. On the palate flavors of apple and pear with lemon citrus zest and bread notes. Fine bubbles, light mousse, medium finish ending with fruit, citrus and heavy yeasty buttery biscuit character. — 10 months ago

From my favorite winery in Central coast, this ‘16 Southern Rhone blend with 78% Grenache is rich, dark, and brooding. Tremendous complexity. So different than the ‘18 Miner Odyssey.

9.0

Bright and a tad hot. Some pepper/spice. Cherry cola with soft tannins and a TON of acidity. Almost an effervescence which never hurts my feelings. Smells candy sweet but drinks with a bit more maturity. — 4 years ago

A ridiculous value....echos the vintage True Believers, just less expressive and more muted. — 6 years ago

Vibrant wine. On the acid and feminine side for me. I was not expecting VR. Savoury notes once warmed up, cherry notes. Good drop! — 7 years ago
