It’s ok. Age doesn’t always equal quality! #garagiste

Follow up after 9 months: I decanted my second bottle for 3 hours, and there wasn’t much difference. Tons of sediment, so the last glass is undrinkable. Still mediocre. — 2 years ago

Pencil shavings, red and black fruit, spice, leather. Great QPR. #garagiste — 2 years ago

The smell of a fresh ripe pear.

Medium to heavy weight, candied ginger, apricot, star fruit. Deliciously bright acidity with a touch of effervescence. Aged to perfection- I could see this getting Interesting in 10 years. Yet so freaking good right now.
Golden drops of absolute pleasure.

Disappointing Garnacha from #garagiste. Jammy with a peppery finish, but overall flat and not memorable. — 6 years ago

2012 Vintage. 13.9% Alcohol. 53% Va Piano Vineyard, Bock 6, 45% Blue Mountain Vineyard, Block 8, 2% Viognier, Les Collins’s Vineyard. A #garagiste wine. Lovely fruit and nice touch of the Viognier perfume. — 6 years ago

I opened this bottle and it was completely flat. Disappointing! But not fair to rate it. The flavor profile was still interesting, so I mixed it with seltzer water for a spritz. Really not bad, but obviously not what I was hoping for. #garagiste — 2 years ago

Excellent. Red cherry and black fruit, ripe fruit (but not cooked or stewed) forest floor, chewy tannins. 14% alc., seemed higher. #garagiste — 2 years ago

This is actually the Sonoma coast Pinot Noir “PK”
Blankets of strawberry and brioche for a nose,
The fruit is delicious, ripe raspberries - the type where you eat a whole pint because you cannot help yourself - a bit of pie crust, twigs, branches, and a zippity do dah acidity that comes in the jolly rancher red variety.
Solid purchase.

Old and bitter vinegar, lacking flavor and depth. Doesn’t smell corked, but really not good. Had to pour it out and replace with a decent Langhe Rosso for pasta night #garagiste — 3 years ago

2013 Vintage. 14.5% Alcohol. Really good Walla Walla, WA red. Good fruit and acidity and very little WAWA funk. Preferred over Cayuse for that reason. Another #garagiste deal. — 4 years ago

2014 Vintage. 13% Alcohol. Lovely acidity still going strong to carry the lemon, minerality and other citrus elements. Another #garagiste wine that delivers. — 6 years ago

So good! Night one was a bit restrained, tempting me to wonder, why not champagne? Night two was fireworks... nose of fresh cut grass, warm buttered biscuits, sweet cream, bee pollen, bunches of fresh green herbs. Then, a progression of minerals and flowers on the palate, chalky at first then building to a climax of granite and buttercups and, unbelievably, blueberry. Beautiful balance. — 6 years ago
