Warm and friendly and full of life. Balanced BlackBerry, and lasting mouth, like a hug from your papa — 3 years ago
Apricot, lemon zest, lychee, and shortbread. Juicy and flavorful. — a month ago
Dairyman Vineyard sits in the southern alluvial plains of the Russian River Valley near the ocean, a region where cooling fog comes in through the Petaluma Gap in the morning and once again in the evening. Bright Ruby, some purple edges, with aromas of ripe berries and baking spices. On the palate flavors of raspberry and black cherry with herb, cedar and cinnamon. Smooth fine tannins, medium+ finish with lively acidity, great structure, ending with fruit and cedar spice. A Fav! — a year ago
I can’t put my finger on why I don’t love this wine. It has a nice grippy finish and is not too fruity. Maybe it’s the cough syrupy finish to it that doesn’t feel so great. — 3 months ago
The flagship wine for this winery. Temp from Winters. Dark pretty color. Smells good. Spices and soils. Cherry sauce on meat. Flavors are nice. Juicy. Ripe. Hint of barbecue. Plenty of tannins. Finish is complex and makes one ponder. — 6 months ago
Just an incredible 14 year old #syrah from Wind Gap that’s just screaming Crozes-Hermitage or Cornas in the glass. Cured meat, bacon fat, black olive followed by a deep well of brooding black fruit aromas. Palate is fresh with salivating acidity, aged fruit, coffee, dark chocolate and ethereal tannins on a long finish. Beautiful wine, especially for $53 for 6 bottles at WineBid (before shipping.)

Bacon fat, smoky, very northern Rhône-like aromas and flavors, with a very cool climate “vibe” (12.4% ABV), great acid and freshness, I am very much a huge fan, long, lingering finish!! — 25 days ago
