This is pretty interesting. Sierra foothills. Kind of spicy ripe Burgundian feel to it, might be just entering the downslope, but pretty enjoyable right now. Not super extracted. Earthy. Light to medium body. Tertiary. Some red fruits. Maybe a little wonky. Fire sale at K&L. $15 (was 60). // edit: I like this quite a bit better on day two from the fridge. — 19 days ago
This was quite special. Brought home from Western Australia a few years ago. Almost undrinkably youthful, bound up and backward upon opening. Crazy for a 14 year old wine. I blame the screw cap. Day two: Salty, mineral, linear. Intensely acidic and austere but starting to wake up. Day three: best yet. Yellow fruited, underripe pineapple. A little wooly. Lean and structured and bright. — a month ago
Tight, or just pedestrian? Not really doing much for me. A bit sappy. Slightly better on day two. Meh — 6 days ago
Cellar pull because fuck it. Only 20% new oak. No malo. Taut. Tropical. Coconut shells full of salty lemon juice. Long finish. This is fantastic. — 18 days ago
Crazy blend. Full bodied. Fruit forward and complex. Lovely. This wine might have sent me down a Roussanne path.. — a month ago
Open knit. Textural. A bit of skin contact. Touch of alcohol/heat initially, needs air. — a month ago
Meh. Light-ish. Bruised pear. Feels unbalanced. Could see this being much better in a few years. [Edit]: a few hours of air later and I’m changing my tune. Increasingly delicious. Wow what a transformation. 12.8%. Fairly soft style. Tasty. — 12 days ago

Fantastic. A bit rustic in the best way. Tastes like burgundy — a month ago

I like this quite a bit. Has a mildly salty yeasty nutty oxidative thing going on. Good freshness. Decent length. Quality juice. 12%. Good qpr @ $22 on sale — 19 hours ago
