2002. Wow. Beautiful and elegant. Only 10% abv according to the label but I’d guess higher. Petrol, honey, Corn Pops cereal, dill, mandarin oranges, golden raisin. This is amazing. — 7 months ago
2012 Sine Qua Non Rattrapante Estate Grenache. First night of Gail’s BD trip enjoyed at girl and the fig in Sonoma. Outshined the unusual light rain on the patio. Glad they are open Monday’s as not much is. This wine went very well with the food. Perfect match for my duck liver pate and duck confit and Gail’s asparagus soup and chicken thighs. — a year ago
A very energetic mouthful, somehow ripe and pulling it own weight (with acidic towing equipment) so you don’t feel the weight but you know it has a body, like me in an empire waist dress. Zingy ripe raspberry makes friends with preserved lemon while white toast and white pepper duel it out as to who is the loudest (but not the whitest we know the toast wins that). Really a delicious steal from Tasmania. — 3 months ago
Deep yellow in color with a golden hue.
The nose is so interesting with lots of unique flavors. Oak, vanilla, nuts, citrus, honey and spices.
Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with yellow apples, citrus, lemons, apricots, minerals, honeysuckle, oak, herbs, vanilla, flowers, spices, earth, white pepper and light vegetables.
Long finish with limes and almonds.
This is a beautiful 11-year-old White blend from California. Showing a soft mouth feel with nice complexity and good balance.
Drinking so nicely right out of the bottle at this point. Elegant and soft. Rich and fruity. Opulent, spicy and interesting.
A great sipping wine, really tasty and just a gorgeous wine.

Dense boysenberry in color: nose of blackcurrant, spice and a little licorice; lovely texture of fully ripe fruit that’s bright with just enough supporting tannin. SQN always so solid. — 2 years ago
2014 vintage. Last tasted 4.26.23. Decanted both times. Deep, thoughtful nose interspersed with bludgeoned moments. Massive bod. A great blood orange streak in there from mid-palate to the not so bitter end. Still carrying plenty of baby fat and built for the long haul. 1.24.24. — 5 months ago

This is one of the sexiest thing you can ever taste in your glass.
So fresh and young. The alcohol and the concentration are super integrated, making it so drinkable and extremely pleasant. Would love@to try this in 20+ year from now. — 2 months ago
