This distinctive white blend marries California Chardonnay with Oregon Roussanne, resulting in a beautifully balanced and unexpected wine. The Roussanne softens the Chardonnay’s natural richness, lending aromatic lift and subtle herbal nuance on the nose, while smoothing the palate with a rounded, elegant texture. The result is a harmonious, expressive white wine that feels both familiar and refreshingly unique from first sip to finish. — a day ago

Oh the glories of a well-made Silvaner! And you don’t get much better made than Klaus-Peter! @kellerdalsheim. This wine was ringing like a struck bell with honeysuckle, orange blossom water and the crackling minerality of icicles dripping in the sunlight. Pure and energetic and totally satisfying. — 5 years ago

2020/4/4-5 with Roman angello alla cacciatora in bianca disossato, roasted canola greens and sautéed morning glories, and grilled pork kashira, katsuo tataki, and wasabina salad. I wanted to revisit this since reading up on nebbiolo rose (of which this is 50%) in D’Agata’s books. The it opened a bit mute, with some smoke, tar and heat, but with time fruit both rich and bright and floral elements all emerged. There is juicy acidity, and a ton of tannin that rounded out with air. Better and more fragrant and integrated still on day 2. This was the best Grinzane yet - I am looking forward to more — 6 years ago

Love child! Never meant to beeee.... others have described this as a bastard infanta of burgundy & bierzo. This is a true statement. Dusty cherries, strawberries, great tannins, balance, hint of funk. In a spot right now that hints at future glories, tertiary aromas beginning to develop. All very Burgundian but with the extra womp of a bierzo backbone. Fabulous. — 6 years ago

Intense still out of date
In an are where minerality plays a major time this blend is more reminiscent of past glories than present transparent beauties — 8 years ago

A chance to try the Glories, Antica Terra, and Lillian wines by Maggie Harrison. These were spectacular. Truly elegant wines. (The Glories were 2018 & ‘19, Syrah was 2013). @Classic Wine & Storage — 3 years ago

Kirby & Pickle label. Light to medium extracted red. Butter, briar and blackberry notes in nose. Raspberry, floral flavors plus blackberry-blueberry flavor with length, followed 90 minutes later by a low-key Bing cherry pulp and skin flavor. Bright, earthy, light seed tannins. Tasty enough, but decant for at least an hour to uncover the glories of its layered fruit flavors. Varietally on point and a superior Oregon Pinot noir, big and flavorful. — 7 years ago
