One of America’s best, in winemaker Maggie Harrison. Great to find this on a list with a bit of age. There’s such a beguiling combination of savory earth, mineral and rich cherry fruit flavors, with killer concentration, a plush texture and serious length. Top notch Domestic Pinot for sure. — a month ago

Another solid vintage of this South African Cabernet Franc. Dark ruby color. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry and black currant. Hints of black licorice and earth. Quite ripe but with excellent balance. Dark and brooding. — 2 years ago

Red fruited like the Botanica however more mineral driven. Black tea and spice cake. Needs more time. — 5 years ago

Meadowcroft Wines Botanica Consecrata Nelson Ranch Pinot Gris Rosé 2023, California

Very pretty neon orange in color.

Interesting nose of flowers, raspberries, strawberries, red candy, spices, apples and pears.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity. Crisp and refreshing.

Dry on the palate with limes, light cranberries, lemons, apples, apricots and spices.

Tangy finish with limes.

This Single Vineyard Orange Wine is very young, but already enjoyable. Tangy and interesting. Crisp and refreshing.

Needs a couple of years in the bottle to mature properly. Will definitely get better in the next few years.

Nicely balanced. Not bitter nor tart, and the alcohol is not too noticeable, so watch out.

I paired it with a stinky French Gorgonzola cheese.

Made with Pinot Gris grapes from Mendocino County. A tiny production of only 540 bottles.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

Beach me up vibes all day baby. Smells like white peaches and clear skies and seashells. Zings on the tongue and you need that warming zing if like me you are gonna dip into the Pacific (soon I hope anyway I love the sea). The palate is chilled melon, gushing wet stone, and some sort of flower whose name I’ll never remember.
It’s terrible, I can name 7 synonyms for Tempranillo, but when it come to the rest of all botanica I can’t get it together.
Anyway. This finishes a with a hit of grapefruit flavor so from stone fruits to melon to citrus it runs the fruit gamut.
Gushing wet stone is the through-line. I don’t know if it has a dramatic arc but I don’t think it needs it. — 3 years ago

have been gobsmacked by just about every '22 from théo and this is no exception. would certainly benefit from a few years in the cellar but still—drinks like top dollar morgon and the nose could pass for pommard in a blind. outstanding. — 6 months ago

Light ruby color. Aromas of fresh herbs, baking spices and red berry fruit. Expressive palate notes bright red cherry/raspberry and strawberry fruit, the aforementioned baking spices and wet soil Pleasant note of purple flowers on the long and lingering finish. Well balanced with pronounced acidity. Velvety mouthfeel. — 8 months ago
