Juicy dark fruit, smoke, and tapanade, lively with soft, sticky tannin. Super gluggable. — a year ago
Decanted and drank over several days. Excellent nose, big tannic structure day 1 which resolved day 2. Very well made wine but .... No fruit at all. I understand that can come with a Mouvedre, but I found the lack of fruit problematic over time. — 2 years ago
This ain’t half bad. Maybe I just like to lavish out reasonable marks, but it’s a crowd-pleaser. Lemon rind, roasted almonds and roasted nuts on the nose lead to a weighty, sweet mid palate. Lacking acidity along with a relatively short, exotic finish, I’m willing to overlook its fault lines, cos overall it’s good. — 2 years ago
Delectable, this is the Desire Lines Wine Co. Experimental Series No. 10 Old Durney Massa Vineyard Reisling.
Slate, tropical fruits.

Light, limpid lemon color…very light nose. Clean, crisp, lemon, tart apple notes with a hint of stem. Delightful long finish with a smooth, supple base note and hints of savory basil. Structured, layered, complex and lively. I love Chenin… particularly Californian with early summer simple lemon roast chicken and cucumber/onion salad. I like the producer and wish I had more. Easy to like as a young vibrant wine. — a year ago
