Needed a long decant to show its color. Love that brownish almost orange hue in the glass. Leads with sour cherry. Raspberry and cocoa with a decent finish. Very young but I don't think this would be a killer in 10 yrs. Drink it now but give it a decant. — a day ago

Vanilla and lemon peel dominate this Chardonnay. Nice drinkable crispy white from Santa Ynez. It's a Dave Phinney wine true to form. — 2 months ago

Darker than most Pinots in the glass. Love the dense cherry opener. Raspberries and blackberries mid with a strong cola finish and just a bit of spice . Not the dusty earth you find in Oregon, but this will drink well all night. I've always been a fan of RRV Pinots done right. This delivers. — 2 months ago

Full mouthfeel Merlot blend. Opens to Luxardo cherry, chocolates, raspberry, plum, a bit of leather and subtle florals. Finishes with soft tannins and has some length. — 4 days ago

Twomey's 25th anniversary RRV Pinot. Expressive florals both on taste and nose. Red cherry opener and I get a bit of smoke and dusty soil. Medium mouthfeel and mild tannins. The wine is well-balanced and quite expressive through the finish. — 12 days ago

Beautiful nose on this aged Pinot. Brightness yet has a ton of earth and wet leaves. Aromatics and florals open to a nice mid palate. The finish adds the spice and the body. A full mouthfeel for a Pinot. — 2 months ago

Young but a very cool Syrah. There's a subtle note of clove and peppercorn which makes this a very unique drinking wine. Love the savoriness of the wine. Black and red berries on the nose. Great balance. Complex finish. — 8 days ago

Very drinkable Rose. A bit of citrus, a bit of berries. Perfect summer pool or patio pounder. Found this at the Joel des Commerçants for about $13. — 2 months ago

Close to the edge of life on this 2018 but still delivers black tea and a bit of spice. Some bright cherry mid palate with wet stone and dusty earth. Still has a nice finish. Very drinkable and just what you'd expect from an aged Santa Lucia Pinot. — 2 months ago
