A tough wine to like right now. It’s tightly wound and hard in tannins and bone dry, which is the winery’s house style. These are grapes that were picked early, before they shriveled. The flavors veer between blackberries and currants to anise and pepper. The gamble is in the cellar. Try after 2013.——S.H.(11/1/2011)—— 88

This is the opposite of those gooey, cult-style wines grown down on the valley benches and floor. It’s pure mountain in the tannins, acidity and dryness, with below 14% alcohol. It’s a food wine, with cassis, cedar and mineral flavors. Should age well for a decade.——S.H.(9/1/2009)—— 93
