El Diablo Vineyard Chardonnay 2016

Not as rich as the ‘15 but with the same bright fruit. Well balanced with more forward acidity supporting the touch of vanilla and the citrusy finish. — 4 years ago

Banfield Vineyard Zinfandel 2015

Amazingly jammy and rich. Go with sweet tomato sauces or sweet peppers and sausages. Save for a Godfather marathon. — 6 years ago

Domaine de la Côte

La Côte Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir 2014

Drank w pork arista. Light, translucent ruby. The acid is a bit dominant still. The wine needs some more time to balance out. But the energy and tension are excellent. Spicy aromatics. Tart cherry on palate. — 6 years ago

Aubert

Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay 2015

15’ Aubert Ritchie. Best Ritchie I’ve enjoyed from Mark to date? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Medium + bodied. Beautifully balanced Chardonnay. White peach, splash of pineapple core, apricot, white toast, sprinkle in a bit of floral spices. 3 favorites from this vineyard are Château Boswell- Arista- Aubert. Cheers. -at BLT Honolulu, Hawaii — 5 years ago

Ferren Wines

Silver Eagle Vineyard Pinot Noir 2013

Opened by my good friend @Charles Gudas at Circa 1886 in Charleston (finally getting around to posting a few). My first Ferren. Beautiful expressive nose, mid palate of candied strawberries. Lengthy finish. Best new Pinot I've tasted in a while. I prefer Matt's Ferren Pinots to his Ferren chards, and prefer his Arista chards to Ferren chards. — 8 years ago

@Roman Sukley still of this viewpoint? How are the latest Ferren chards?

@Norman Gennaro If I had to distinguish between the two, I would say Arista is more pop and pour while Ferren is more age worthy.

Lucky Well Vineyard Pinot Noir 2014

I've liked all the Arista pinots and chardonnay I've had. This is no exception. Full body. Strawberries. Lush. These drink really well young. Not sure how they will do as they age. — 8 years ago

Matt is making some amazing wines, starting with the 13 vintage. This must've just fallen off of the FedEx truck:) The Ritchie chard👍
