Hardy said he’s doing a Full King Crab this year but expects low yields. Around 65 cases.
Thanks for the heads up - I’ll look out for it.
OHHHH, that SS III otherworldly! My “wine of the year” for 2023.

I was lucky enough to walk away from the Hardy Wallace tasting that @Brian_Tuite hosted with a couple D&R gems that were firing on all cylinders.
2016 D&R Chenin Blanc Mendocino County: This is a 10 year old Chenin Blanc and if served blind I would have MAYBE guessed 2-3 years. It appears to be frozen in time, but its soooo good. At 11.5% alcohol this is fresh and vibrant, with citrus/stone fruits, a little minerality and some florals. I think I could drink a whole bottle! (94 Pts)
2019 D&R Zinfandel Sonoma Valley: What the F###! This is absolutely wicked good. Easily up there with the best Hardy wines i’ve ever tasted and probably top 1 or 2 Zins I can recall having. This is jumping out of the glass with dark red fruits, citrus peel, and garrigue. So vibrant and delicious and not a single part out of place. The worst part is i’m gonna be looking all over for more of these even though I know they probably seldom exist in the wild. Well done @H_Wallace_Jr (96 Pts)
