Cork busted into a million little pieces. Very dark color still at this stage. Smells like berries. Black and huckleberry. Flavors are deep and elegant. Fresh despite the age. It’s hot plenty of molasses and licorice/anise stuff. This is amazing still after all these years. Complex and fruit driven. Like really good black colored berries (cassis, blackberry, and huckleberry). Tasty, tart and delicious. — 3 months ago
Very impressed with this old vine Zin. Nicely balanced, appropriate oak. — 5 years ago
This is actually 100% Zinfandel sourced in collaboration with Bokisch Vineyards in Lodi, California. A fully certified green based on the farming sustainable practices from Old vines (+100 years) which provides a nice fruit-forward style Zin, long but not overly sweet and lingering finish. Plummy, dark cherry and some raisins too. Vanilla and some toasted notes were present. Very approachable. — 4 months ago
Yum. Plum, cherry, cocoa, a hint of leather. — 3 years ago
Beautiful floral and oily fore pallet that gives volume without sweetness. Finishes crisp and clean. Slight bit of sweet grass with pomelo dominating. Great mouthfeel for a floral white. Compliments all food. — 4 years ago
Underground shit. Single barrel of Lodi Tempranillo 44 months in neutral oak. Cedar and tart and complex. Turning creamy and peppery with air. Basically a Gran Reserva Rioja from Lodi California. Great with grilled lamb. — 5 years ago

100% Albariño grapes sourced from the Clemente Hills in Lodi AVA, specifically from the family vineyards Tierra Alta. A pure expression baked pineapple notes and flavor, white floral on the nose as well and immense acidity but not overwhelming, just uplifting and vigorous!
Extremely refreshing and crispy, crazy refreshing and dangerously delicious! Pairs amazing with oysters and other shellfish as it is bone dry and rich in salinity.! — 6 days ago
