What are your thoughts on aging your wines? Is there a time frame youre aiming for a drinking window?

@Brian_G_r_a_f_s_t_r_o_m inspired me to dig around in the deep corners till I found my stash of this from last Berserker Day. OMFG this is good! Very light petrol, lychee, fresh flowers, and a texture that was so light and caressing. Dry without being shrill or austere. Perfectly balanced.
If this is what she made as a one-off, Kelly needs to find another source of Riesling grapes!

I’m excited to see how massively this thread is going to blow up after the Berserker Day sales. That was insane pricing on tremendous wines.

Hi Max! I was out of range for a while (I often feel that way mentally, lol). Hm. My way has been to bottle my wines with as much life and freshness as possible. It seems they are often quite young for their ages the first five or so years. This question is a general one. Pinot noir? Whites? Chardonnay or Albariño? Etc.? My answer depends on which wine we’re talking about. Generally, I would say my Pinots really start becoming their true selves after about 5 years. They have often aged very well for at least 10+ years. The aging windows would vary with the vintage (hot? cool? other vintage factors?); the vineyard itself; and many other variables known and unknown. I never push my wines. They are part of time (Kronos) and I respect that.
The Chardonnays need time, too, I’ve observed. Maybe 2-3 years to really show what they’re about. And finally, I’m not aiming for a drinking window per se, but entirely on delivering as wine with as much life and freshness and good energy as I can.

Thank you, Marcus. I’ve written this several times elsewhere, but I want my wines to be as accessible as I can manage. Always felt that way. I love the Berserker community, a number of whom have been my customers (often thanks to you 
) and this is one way of showing it. On another note: I’m running out of your Blanc de Blanc and am trying to be patient waiting for the pink stuff!!
Thank you so much, Zachary! I saw your orders this week when I was doing the bookkeeping. I usually see everyone’s. I hope you enjoy them!

I drank a 2023 Mirabai Pinot Noir the other night. It was incredibly fresh, pure, and vibrant. No need to wait five years on this one. Great to drink while holding the SVD.
Thank you so much for your words, Chris
I don’t know how to produce Riesling, but I was inspired by these being the 1970 vines that Loie and Jim Maresh Sr. planted on their farm-and by the OG Oregon “White riesling” I used to drink in my “Swiss chalet” double-wide rental in the coast range (North Fork of the Alsea River) in the late ‘80s/early’90s. White riesling and “Twin Peaks” on the tv with aluminum foil rabbit ears.
