San Diego based, with stints in the Rheingau Valley and Burgundy. Wine is good for the soul.
Nice BDX, jumps right out of the bottle. Layers of fruit and some gravel and leather notes. Nice acidity. Very good. — 24 days ago
Trying the ‘18 vintage. Just as dense and with grippy tannins as previous. Takes 90 minutes to decant and then starts shining. Beautiful layers of cassis. -46% Syrah, with the cab components rounding out the profile (37%). Edgy Petit Verdot (17%) provides a lot of structure. Not for the faint of heart. 😎 — a month ago
Beautiful Syrah. Very balanced. Subtle tannins. Gracefully aged. Complex. — 12 days ago
Nice Chianti, light and fruity. Nice acidity. Great with dinner. — 25 days ago
Interesting Malbec from Valle de Guadalupe. Medium bodied, almost ephemeral. Also low alcohol. Winner of the tasting at Valle. The fact that the additional glas I ordered was $25 changed my view of this wine a little bit 🤔🤣. — 25 days ago
Kind of unremarkable. I liked previous vintages better. A bit too oaky for me. — 19 days ago
After a big meal, this closed out the night nicely with dessert. Crisp and fruity. — 25 days ago
New vintage of this favorite. More approachable then some previous vintages. Plush and elegant. Great balance. Really enjoyed the bottle. — a month ago
Had this “baby sassicaia” and tremendously enjoyed it. Fruit forward and smooth with a beautiful finish. Nicely balanced. — a month ago
