Rating a day later. This is a big wine that needed a long decant. 4-5 hrs and it never really fully opened. What did open shows a great nose and layers of complexity. Silky smooth. Mostly red fruits with a bit of spice complementing a long finish. 60% Merlot and 40% Cab blend. It's also a wine that needs 3-5 yrs min and probably 10. — 6 days ago

Simple IGT red blend. Best paired with food. Slightly acidic and tannic but not a bad drinker if you're looking for a BYOB night with friends. — 2 months ago

I'm a fan of this wine. Cherry opener with a red and black fruit mid. Earthy as you'd like a Pinot to be. Black tea, herbs and some smoke to finish. — 25 days ago

Bien Nacido vineyard. The wine opens very citrus forward. Lemon zest, and florals. Mid palate gives you the golden apple and minerality. The finish offers a hint of toasted oak. — a month ago

This is the La Encantada Vineyard Pinot and might be one of the best from this producer. Nice fruit forward of black cherry, cola, star anise and cracked pepper. Love the earthy and floral nose of this single-vineyard wine. Big fan of this. Not so much on the other vineyards. — 2 months ago

Not as good as the '21. This year offers 40% Merlot, 32% Cab Franc, 23% Cab Sauv and 5% Petite Verdot. IGT. Olive tamponade, a bit dusty and cedar opener. Full mouthfeel and very drinkable now, but this might benefit from a time out for a while. — a month ago

This 2018 is 100% Merlot. Opens to a subtle floral note with black cherry and cranberries. Medium body with a nice mouthfeel. The finish is a little smoky and bit of a back of the throat spice. — 2 months ago
